Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of Poor Outcomes with Novel and Traditional Biomarkers at Clinical AKI Diagnosis
Isaac E. Hall,Steven G. Coca,Steven G. Coca,Mark A. Perazella,Umo U. Eko,Randy L. Luciano,Patricia R Peter,Won K. Han,Chirag R. Parikh,Chirag R. Parikh +9 more
TL;DR: On the first day of AKI, urine protein biomarkers and microscopy significantly improve upon clinical determination of prognosis, indicating their potential utility in current practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
AKI!Now Initiative: Recommendations for Awareness, Recognition, and Management of AKI.
Kathleen D. Liu,Stuart L. Goldstein,Anitha Vijayan,Chirag R. Parikh,Kianoush Kashani,Mark D. Okusa,Anupam Agarwal,Jorge Cerdá +7 more
TL;DR: Current efforts to improve early recognition and management involving inclusive interdisciplinary collaboration between providers, patients, and their families are described; the ongoing need to change some of the current AKI paradigms and diagnostic methods are discussed; and specific recommendations to improve AKI recognition and care are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinalysis and pre-renal acute kidney injury: time to move on
TL;DR: It is suggested that AKI (like all other forms of organ injury) is a continuum of injury that cannot be neatly divided into functional (pre-renal or transient) or structural (acute tubular necrosis or persistent).
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing the Detection of Dysmorphic Red Blood Cells and Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells with a Modified Urinalysis Protocol.
TL;DR: A modified urinalysis protocol with an increased relative centrifuge force and concentration factor in 20 biopsy-confirmed glomerulonephritis patients with haematuria improved the recovery ratio of dysmorphic RBCs in clinical specimens and significantly enhanced the quality of urinalsysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary red blood cells: not only glomerular or nonglomerular.
TL;DR: Cases reported in the literature in which such unusual urinary red blood cells have been found are described and the experience of the authors on this subject is described.

Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of Urinary Biomarkers
TL;DR: Most large scale biomarker discovery studies reported thus far have used one of two approaches to identify proteins and peptides whose excretion in urine changes in specific disease states: 1) two-dimensional electrophoresis with mass spectrometric and/or immunochemical identification of proteins and 2) top-down mass spectrumetric methods (SELDI-TOF-MS and capillary electrophore-MS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Renal flares are common in patients with severe proliferative lupus nephritis treated with pulse immunosuppressive therapy: long-term followup of a cohort of 145 patients participating in randomized controlled studies.
Gabor G. Illei,Kazuki Takada,D. Parkin,Howard A. Austin,Marianna Crane,Cheryl Yarboro,Ellen M. Vaughan,Takashi Kuroiwa,C. L. Danning,J. Pando,A D Steinberg,M. F. Gourley,John H. Klippel,James E. Balow,Dimitrios T. Boumpas +14 more
TL;DR: Renal flares are an important feature of the natural history of lupus nephritis and provide an opportunity for additional preventive strategies, as well as measures of efficacy in future therapeutic trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic value of urine microscopy for differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients.
TL;DR: Urine sediment examination is a valuable diagnostic tool for confirming the diagnosis of AtN and a score of > or =2 on an ATN urinary sediment scoring system is an extremely strong predictor of ATN.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Survey-Based Evaluation of Self-Perceived Competency after Nephrology Fellowship Training
TL;DR: Nephrology training programs are perceived as doing an excellent job training fellows in many areas and gaps in training should be addressed in fellowship training and post-training education.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary biochemistry and microscopy in septic acute renal failure: a systematic review.
TL;DR: The scientific basis for the use of urinary biochemistry, indices, and microscopy in patients with septic ARF is weak and more research is required to describe their accuracy, pattern, and time course in patients.
