Disease relevance of Renal Insufficiency, Acute

• The incidence of acute renal insufficiency, more broadly defined as an increase of greater than 25 percent in the serum creatinine level after the infusion of contrast material, was 11.8 percent among all patients with preexisting renal insufficiency [1].
• Factors that may have contributed to such a rapid calcification were the relatively young age of the patient, the development of acute renal insufficiency postoperatively, and the administration of large amounts of calcium chloride intravenously during blood transfusions and during episodes of cardiac arrest [2].
• Four patients with a chronic fatigue syndrome experienced five episodes of acute renal insufficiency associated with high-dose (500 mg/m2) intravenous acyclovir administered intravenously as one-hour infusions [3].
• We describe a patient with dermatitis herpetiformis with immunoglobulin A (IgA)-containing circulating immune complexes and IgA rheumatoid factor who presented with acute renal insufficiency; a renal biopsy specimen showed IgA nephropathy [4].
• Results indicate that inadequate fluid resuscitation following intestinal IR was associated with significant serum hyperkalemia and hyperphosphatemia, acute renal insufficiency, and enhanced serum interleukin-6 levels [5].

High impact information on Renal Insufficiency, Acute

• Subtle occurrence of indinavir-induced acute renal insufficiency [6].
• Acute renal insufficiency and high bilirubin levels may be associated with entry of CyA metabolites into the CSF [7].
• Changes in 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 alpha- and 24-hydroxylase activities of kidney cells isolated from rats with either unilateral kidney damage or acute renal insufficiency [8].
• The key role of intrarenal adenosine in mediating the hypoxemic acute renal insufficiency in newborn rabbits has been well demonstrated using the nonspecific adenosine antagonist theophylline [9].
• Osmolality not predictive of mannitol-induced acute renal insufficiency [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Renal Insufficiency, Acute

• Acute renal insufficiency due to viral infection caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) during treatment with methotrexate [11].
• Prospective effect of norepinephrine infusion in acute renal insufficiency induced by interleukin 2 therapy [12].
• We have recently added to the list the Cyclosporin-A induced hypertrygliceridemia and myoglobinuric acute renal insufficiency [13].
• Results showed that iomeprol did not cause any alterations of clinical laboratory indices for renal function nor any cases of acute renal insufficiency [14].
• Acute renal insufficiency after poisoning with ethylene glycol [15].

Anatomical context of Renal Insufficiency, Acute

• Reversible acute renal insufficiency with combination of enalapril and diuretics in a patient with a single renal-artery stenosis [16].
• We report a 52-year-old female who developed acute renal insufficiency after administration of one dose of 150 mg of cisplatin for treatment of squamous cell cancer of the esophagus [17].

Gene context of Renal Insufficiency, Acute

• We suggest that heightened suspicion of an aggressive necrotizing glomerulonephritis should be maintained in all patients with rheumatoid arthritis who present with acute renal insufficiency even in the absence of frank vasculitis [18].
• Three male children with G-6-PD deficiency developed intravascular haemolysis leading to acute renal insufficiency following the administration of chloroquine [19].
• A patient of 14 years suffering from secondary haemosiderosis and thalassaemia major was treated with i.v. desferrioxamine in doses up to 3 g/d. Urine iron loss ranged from 46-158 mg/d. Despite improvement in cardiac and hepatic status the patient developed acute renal insufficiency of the pre renal type [20].
• RESULTS: The 3 patients had acute renal insufficiency, relative metabolic alkalosis, and low parathyroid hormone (PTH), PTH-related peptide, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations [21].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Renal Insufficiency, Acute

• These patients had acute renal insufficiency and significantly higher blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and total and direct bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels than patients without CyA metabolites in CSF (P < 0.05) [7].
• Use of plasma exchange in methotrexate removal in a patient with osteosarcoma and acute renal insufficiency [22].
• Reported herein for the first time in the literature is the case of a 41-yr-old woman who developed a tumor lysis-like syndrome, consisting of hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia, and acute renal insufficiency, soon after the initiation of chemotherapy for severe visceral leishmaniasis with liposomal amphotericin B [23].
• The results of the present study indicate that it is extremely effective to initiate appropriate fluid therapy immediately after a burn and to administer antithrombin III concentrate in combination with or without heparin for the prevention of acute renal insufficiency in patients with a severe burn [24].
