Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1): A novel biomarker for human renal proximal tubule injury

TLDR
A soluble form of human KIM-1 can be detected in the urine of patients with ATN and may serve as a useful biomarker for renal proximal tubule injury facilitating the early diagnosis of the disease and serving as a diagnostic discriminator.

KDIGO clinical practice guidelines for acute kidney injury.

TL;DR: The guidelines focused on 4 key domains: (1) AKI definition, (2) prevention and treatment of AKI, (3) contrastinduced AKI (CI-AKI) and (4) dialysis interventions for the treatment ofAKI.

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a biomarker for acute renal injury after cardiac surgery

TL;DR: Univariate analysis showed a significant correlation between acute renal injury and the following: urine and serum concentrations of NGAL at 2 h, and cardiopulmonary bypass time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute kidney injury

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that patients who have had acute kidney injury are at increased risk of subsequent chronic kidney disease, and new diagnostic techniques (eg, renal biomarkers) might help with early diagnosis.

Identification of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin as a Novel Early Urinary Biomarker for Ischemic Renal Injury

TL;DR: The results indicate that NGAL may represent an early, sensitive, noninvasive urinary biomarker for ischemic and nephrotoxic renal injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular pathophysiology of ischemic acute kidney injury

TL;DR: The major components of this dynamic process, which involves hemodynamic alterations, inflammation, and endothelial and epithelial cell injury, followed by repair that can be adaptive and restore epithelial integrity or maladaptive, leading to chronic kidney disease are reviewed.

Hospital-acquired renal insufficiency: A prospective study

TL;DR: It is concluded that there is a substantial risk of the development of renal failure in hospital and that the mortality rate due to hospital-acquired renal insufficiency remains high.

Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1), a Putative Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule Containing a Novel Immunoglobulin Domain, Is Up-regulated in Renal Cells after Injury

TL;DR: Structurally and expression data suggest that KIM-1 is an epithelial cell adhesion molecule up-regulated in the cells, which are dedifferentiated and undergoing replication, and may play an important role in the restoration of the morphological integrity and function to postischemic kidney.

Treatment of acute renal failure

TL;DR: The purpose of this perspective is to understand the results of the recent, largely negative, clinical trials in view of recent advances in the epidemiology of ARF.

Localization of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, vimentin, c-Fos, and clusterin in the postischemic kidney. Evidence for a heterogenous genetic response among nephron segments, and a large pool of mitotically active and dedifferentiated cells.

TL;DR: The temporal and nephron segment expressions of various proteins implicated in mitogenesis, differentiation, and injury support the view that the mature renal S3 segment epithelial cell can be a progenitor cell.

Acute renal failure in the patient undergoing cardiac operation : prevalence, mortality rate, and main risk factors

TL;DR: It is concluded that in patients undergoing cardiac operation without preexisting renal dysfunction the likelihood of severe renal complications is reasonably low, but the associated mortality remains high, and a prominent role in the development of postoperative acute renal failure must be recognized.
