Healio has compiled a list of the most-read AKI-related nephrology news stories in 2024.
Readers were interested in renal angina indices, remote monitoring after discharge, the effects of ravulizumab use in patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, and more.
Renal angina indices may help predict AKI risk among patients in ICU
At 24 hours, measured area under the curve for the Matsuura index was 0.74, researchers found. Urinary biomarkers did not enhance the predictive accuracy of renal angina indices. Read more.
Remote monitoring after hospital discharge may reduce AKI complications, not readmissions
AKI remote patient monitoring after hospital discharge can help manage kidney health complications, data show, but the practice may not lower the risk of hospital return. Read more.
Ravulizumab improves kidney function in patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
Researchers reviewed the efficacy of ravulizumab based on 2-year data from two phase 3, single-arm studies. The eGFR was maintained in pediatric and adult patients throughout the study period. Read more.
Real-world data confirm benefits of ravulizumab for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
Adults and children with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome who switched from eculizumab to ravulizumab had stable renal function and hematologic values with similar safety seen in clinical trials, according to data from a registry study. Read more.
NSAIDs, dehydration pre-hospitalization may be linked to higher AKI risk in some patients
Dehydration or use of NSAIDs before hospital admission may be linked to a higher risk of AKI in patients with exertional rhabdomyolysis, researchers found in this study. Read more.
Extracorporeal blood purification during cardiac surgery may help reduce post-surgical AKI
A nonselective extracorporeal blood purifier connected to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during nonemergent cardiac surgery may help reduce post-surgical AKI, data show. Read more.
Study: Youths risk major adverse kidney event after continuous kidney replacement therapy
Overall, 65% of patients experienced major adverse kidney events at 90 days. The failure to liberate continuous kidney replacement therapy was among the contributing factors. Read more.
Adults with high calcium, oxalate urinary levels may have increased kidney stone risk
Urinary factors and kidney stone formation were mostly linear for calcium. Urine pH was the only factor not significantly tied to the risk of developing kidney stones. Read more.
Researchers identify possible genetic risk linked to AKI in patients with kidney disease
Researchers have identified two loci that may be associated with AKI in hospitalized patients with kidney disease, noting a potential genetic risk of the condition, data show. Read more.
Baseline, post-acute kidney function key in evaluating patients with AKI needing dialysis
Measuring baseline and post-acute kidney function is key in evaluating the risk of adverse outcomes in patients requiring dialysis, according to a nationwide cohort study. Read more.
