Summary: This study evaluated the incidence of acute kidney injury using pre-admission and admission creatinine levels and found that even minor increases in creatinine levels were associated with increased mortality. This can help clinicians identify patients at higher risk for adverse outcomes.

Summary: This study evaluates the accuracy of different methods for estimating baseline creatinine values in pediatric patients with acute kidney injury. The results suggest that the minimum values of serum creatinine measured within 7 days after hospital admission have the best agreement with creatinine measured within 3 months before admission, indicating their potential use as a baseline when baseline data are unavailable.

Summary: Three new equations for estimating basal serum creatinine in hospitalized children have been developed and tested for diagnosing AKI in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The ABC-cr and ABC-advanced formulas showed good diagnostic performance for AKI identification.

Summary: SGLT2 inhibitors have shown additional beneficial effects on body weight, serum uric acid levels, blood pressure, and cardiac and renal function. Despite conflicting data, extensive research has demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors are safe for the kidney and do not predispose to acute kidney injury (AKI).

Summary: This study investigated hospitalized patients with cirrhosis and acute kidney injury in the US and found that acute kidney disease developed in 1 in 3 patients, which was associated with worse survival and chronic kidney disease.

Summary: The study reveals that recurrent wildfires have an impact on the resilience of a Mediterranean ecosystem, but do not necessarily lead to cumulative degradation. Post-fire avifauna succession is mainly influenced by canopy regeneration and bird species colonization, with recovery of vegetation and bird assemblages taking approximately 15 years.

Summary: This study examined the variation in defining acute kidney injury (AKI) for research using health care data and aimed to achieve consensus. The current methods for defining AKI using routinely collected data are inconsistent and poorly described. Experts could not achieve consensus for many aspects of defining AKI and describing its sequelae. The KDIGO guidelines should be extended to include a standardized definition for AKI when using routinely collected data.

Summary: Cardio-renal syndrome is a well-defined clinical condition that involves interactions between the heart and kidney. Acute kidney injury can lead to chronic cardiovascular events and the progression of kidney disease. The role of bone in this relationship, as well as the impact on long-term outcomes, is an important topic of research.

Summary: The study found that approximately 1 in 40 pregnancies are affected by Pr-AKI, with common causes being infection, preeclampsia, and hemorrhage. While most women experienced recovery of renal function, about 10% did not recover. The research suggests the need for better understanding of the long-term impacts of Pr-AKI on pregnancy and renal outcomes.

Summary: The study found that the incidence of AKI in older adults showed a U-shaped curve with age, with a significantly higher incidence in those aged 75 and above. However, AKI risk did not increase with age, and the association between AKI and in-hospital death did not increase in an age-dependent manner in older adults.

Summary: Urinary injury biomarkers may not necessarily reflect the extent of underlying tissue injury in individual rats, as they show weak correlation and high interindividual variability with tubular damage.

Summary: Using a regression-based machine learning model, baseline serum creatinine can be predicted with higher accuracy compared to estimating it through the MDRD equation. The model performed better in terms of error and correlation in both the Mayo Clinic cohort and the MIMIC III cohort, using features such as chronic kidney disease, weight, height, and age.

Summary: This study evaluated the inorganic arsenic content of Portuguese rice samples and found that some samples exceeded the maximum residue limit for infant consumption. The estimated arsenic intake for children may exceed the safe threshold, but other sources of arsenic exposure should also be considered.

Summary: This study examines the stability boundaries of diatomic bonds, which are found to correlate with topological descriptors of electron density fields. By utilizing chemical databases and quantum-mechanical calculations, a comprehensive analysis of diatomic bonds in the s-p main block of atoms was conducted, with a focus on the impact of substituents in C-C covalent bonds.

Summary: The relationship between kidney function at 3 months after acute kidney injury (AKI) and kidney function prognosis was examined in this study. The study found that AKI patients had a faster decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after 3 months postoperatively and were associated with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a decline in eGFR >= 30%. The findings suggest the importance of evaluating kidney function beyond 3 months after surgery or using other indicators such as cystatin C values.
