Image can be more quality with intravenous contrast media, however in some cases may be accompanied by a risk of kidney impairment. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between acute kidney injury incidence and intravenous contrast media for CT in emergency patients. Methods and Materials: Search strategies were performed using standard keywords across international databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, PubMed, and Embase. Dimension, OpenGrey, DOAJ, CINAHL, and Google Scholar search engines were searched for a complete search. Additionally, manual searching was conducted using the references of related articles. Studies that reported the correlation between acute kidney injury incidence and intravenous contrast media were included in this systematic review. Results: First, 1185 studies were identified. After duplication, 533 studies remained and 417 were excluded. Out of 116 evaluated studies for retrieval, 49 were eliminated and 67 were assessed for eligibility. Ultimately, 28 studies with 48878 patients were included in the final review. Most of the studies were retrospective cohorts and have found no significant correlation between the incidence of acute kidney injury and intravenous contrast media administration (ICMA) for CT. Conclusion: Intravenous contrast media with a conventional dose for CT does not cause acute kidney injury unless in the presence of a particular condition. Registration: This study was compiled following the PRISMA checklist and its protocol was registered on the PROSPERO (CRD42023448461) and Research Registry (UIN: reviewregistry1690) websites.","PeriodicalId":16950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Injury Prevention","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is characterized by widespread small blood vessel thrombosis (formation of blood clots) in various organs of the body, leading to organ damage and dysfunction. The exact mechanisms underlying cancer-associated TMA are not fully understood. However, several factors may contribute to its development. Cancer cells can release procoagulant substances that promote blood clot formation, since some tumors can directly invade blood vessels, leading to endothelial cell damage and activation of the coagulation system. Additionally, certain chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer treatment can have adverse effects on the endothelium, further increasing the risk of TMA. Clinically, cancer-associated TMA presents with a range of symptoms depending on the organs affected. Common manifestations include microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and organ-specific symptoms such as neurological deficits, renal dysfunction, or cardiac abnormalities.","PeriodicalId":16950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Injury Prevention","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138604514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: Considering the necessity for more research into plasma therapy, the urgency of treating patients with a severe disease, and the lack of comparable studies, we compared the effectiveness of hyperimmune plasma and plasmapheresis in COVID-19 patients. Patients and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 38 patients with severe COVID-19 were enrolled in two groups of 19 individuals treated with plasmapheresis and hyperimmune plasma after matching for severity. The researcher documented the patient’s information on a checklist submitted for statistical analysis using the SPSS software. Results: Patients comprised 60.53% of men and 39.5% of women. In this study, 60.53% of patients had underlying conditions, including hypertension and diabetes. The mean length of hospitalization for patients in the hyperimmune plasma group was considerably shorter than those in the plasmapheresis group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The average hospitalization time for patients who received hyperimmune plasma was considerably shorter than the plasmapheresis group. As a result, patients are encouraged to utilize this type of plasma at the earliest stages of the condition.","PeriodicalId":16950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Injury Prevention","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138602622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: To determine the correlation between FGF-23 level and LVH incidence in CKD patients and establish the associated risk factors. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 74 CKD patients who were classified as stage 3 (n=18), stage 4 (n=17), stage 3 (n=18), dialysis stage 5 (n=20), or non-dialysis stage 5 (n=19). The FGF-23 levels of the patients were measured using the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit method, whereas a cardiologist verified LVH using an echocardiographic examination based on the LVH criteria of >95 g/m2 for females and >115 g/m2 for males. Results: A significant difference was observed in the mean FGF-23 values between the LVH and non-LVH patients (443.27±437.047 RU/mL and 172.68±185.56 RU/mL, respectively; P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristics revealed that patients with FGF-23 levels >123.95 RU/mL had a 3.6 times greater risk of LVH compared to those with values ≤123.95 RU/mL. The LVH risk factors of gender and age, as well as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity diagnoses were not associated with LVH incidence in CKD patients. Conclusion: A significant association was found between FGF-23 level and LVH incidence in CKD patients, in which an FGF-23 level >123.95 RU/mL corresponded to a 3.6 times greater risk of LVH than those with FGF-23 levels below this value.","PeriodicalId":16950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renal Injury Prevention","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138604845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a valuable tool for assessing global health and helps to classify cancers and measure the incidence and mortality of different types of cancer. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate global kidney cancer incidence and mortality rates in 2020 according to population category by income levels, using an ecological study design. Methods and Materials: This ecological study examines the correlation between the incidence and mortality of kidney cancer in 2020, reported by the GLOBOCAN project, since the population category by income levels was reported by the World Bank report. The linear regression method was conducted to assess this correlation. Results: Results demonstrated that the global incidence and mortality rate of kidney cancer in 2020 was estimated at 431288 and 179368 cases, respectively. The incidence and mortality rate of kidney cancer were higher in high-income countries, and both rates tend to be higher in more developed regions. However, there was no statistically significant correlation between the population category by income levels and kidney cancer incidence and mortality based on both crude rate (CR) and age-standardized rate (ASR) indicators (P>0.05).

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of P. oleracea powder on 24-hour urine indices in patients with nephrolithiasis and normal kidney function. Patients and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, eligible patients with nephrolithiasis were randomly assigned to receive P. oleracea or placebo capsules once daily for eight weeks. Twenty-four-hour urine indices, along with serum electrolytes, inflammatory and lipid components were measured, then compared between the two groups at baseline and the end of the trial. Results: A total of 54 patients, including 28 in P. oleracea and 26 in the control groups, were assigned. Their mean age was 42.2±9.8 years; there was no statistically significant difference between the mean age of the P. oleracea and placebo groups (42.1years versus 42.2 years, respectively; P>0.05). After eight weeks, the mean urine citrate level in the Portulaca oleracea subjects (674.82±94.56 mg/24 h) was significantly higher than placebo group subjects (579.19±85.06 mg/24 h; P<0.01). In addition, the mean urine calcium level in the P. oleracea group (176.32±27.40 mg/24 h) was significantly lower compared to the control group (194.26±25.17 mg/24 h; P=0.016). Within the groups, analysis revealed that in subjects in P. oleracea and control groups, mean serum triglyceride (TG) decreased after intervention (P=0.01 and P=0.02, respectively), as well as mean urine citrate level (P<0.01, P=0.01, respectively). Conclusion: The findings show that P. oleracea may be proposed as a medicinal plant that has a preventive effect on kidney stone formation by increasing urine citrate and decreasing urine calcium level.
