The incidence, risk factors and outcomes of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients undergoing emergency surgery: a prospective observational study

Linhui Hu et al.

Summary: In a study of 383 critically ill patients undergoing emergency surgery, postoperative reoperation, postoperative APACHE II score, and postoperative serum lactic acid were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative AKI, with higher mortality rates and costs in the AKI group.

Risk-of-bias VISualization (robvis): An R package and Shiny web app for visualizing risk-of-bias assessments

Luke A. McGuinness et al.

Summary: Despite the availability of numerous software options for evidence synthesis, there is currently no universal tool for generating figures to display and explore risk-of-bias assessments. However, tools such as the R programming environment and Shiny have made it easy to create new tools for producing evidence syntheses. The new tool robvis facilitates the rapid production of publication-quality risk-of-bias assessment figures and is available as an R package and web app.

A randomised controlled trial of succinylated gelatin (4%) fluid on urinary acute kidney injury biomarkers in cardiac surgical patients

Lisa Smart et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of succinylated gelatin and compound sodium lactate on urinary AKI biomarkers in patients after cardiac surgery. The results showed that the use of succinylated gelatin was associated with increased biomarker concentrations of renal tubular injury and dysfunction when compared to crystalloid fluid, suggesting potential postoperative AKI concerns.

Short-term Effects of Alfacalcidol on Hospital Length of Stay in Patients Undergoing Valve Replacement Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Sandra N. Naguib et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that alfacalcidol treatment can significantly reduce the length of stay in intensive care unit and hospital for patients undergoing valve-replacement surgery, lower the postoperative infection rate, and decrease the dose of epinephrine used. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between the intervention group and the control group.

Pegah Eslami et al.

Summary: The study found that pretreatment with vitamin D did not reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery, but may improve the anti-inflammatory state before and after the operation. Further research is needed to evaluate the renoprotective effect of vitamin D on coronary surgery patients.

Dobutamine-sparing versus dobutamine-to-all strategy in cardiac surgery: a randomized noninferiority trial

Rafael Alves Franco et al.

Summary: Comparing a dobutamine-sparing strategy with an inotrope-to-all approach in cardiac surgery, it was found that the former did not increase mortality or major cardiovascular events. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of acute kidney injury, prolonged mechanical ventilation, or length of stay in the intensive care unit or hospital.

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Zigang Liu et al.

Summary: A meta-analysis evaluating the efficacy of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in preventing acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery showed that RIPC significantly reduced the incidence of AKI, particularly for mild-to-moderate cases that did not require renal replacement therapy. The results suggest that RIPC is an effective strategy for AKI prevention after cardiac surgery.

Protective Renal Effects of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide: Where Are We Now?

Marcelo Roberto Choi et al.

Summary: Atrial natriuretic peptide, part of the natriuretic peptide family, has natriuretic, diuretic, and vasodilator effects that oppose the renin-angiotensin system. It also exerts nephroprotective effects due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a beneficial agent against acute and chronic kidney diseases.

Diagnosis of Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury

Christina Massoth et al.

Summary: Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery presents specific patterns of damage and recovery, which are crucial for management and outcomes. The KDIGO classification only partially covers the conceptual framework and is insufficient for a comprehensive diagnosis. This review discusses the strengths and limitations of recent criteria for CSA-AKI and provides an overview of biomarkers. The evolving understanding of CSA-AKI as a time-sensitive condition has led to an increased demand for enhancing diagnostic criteria and implementing biomarkers in clinical practice.
