11. Acute kidney injury : a study of function markers
Sammanfattning : Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is defined as a sudden decrease in the kidneys' ability to filtrate waste products and excrete excess water. Detecting AKI primarily relies on measuring the increased concentration of function markers (i.e., creatinine and cystatin C) and even measuring urine output. LÄS MER
12. Perioperative acute kidney injury : risk factors and outcomes
Sammanfattning : Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a sudden decrease in renal filtration function. It is common among critically ill patients and patients undergoing major surgery, especially cardiac surgery. AKI is defined by either an elevated serum creatinine (SCr) concentration or a decrease in urine production. LÄS MER
13. Occupational heat exposure and kidney disease - Studies on the role of heat stress in the Mesoamerican epidemic of Chronic Kidney Disease of non-traditional origin
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the association between heat stress and kidney disease in Mesoamerica using different perspectives and methods. An ecologic study found that hot, sugarcane-cultivating regions had elevated chronic kidney disease (CKD) mortality. LÄS MER
14. Cardiac surgery and the kidney - studies on the effects of pharmacological interventions on renal perfusion, filtration and oxygenation
Sammanfattning : Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly complicates cardiac surgery and is associated with high mortality. Renal ischemia is considered to be the major cause. There is a close association between glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular sodium reabsorption and renal oxygen consumption (RVO2) in humans. LÄS MER
15. Heparin-binding protein and organ failure in critical illness
Sammanfattning : Background: For patients severely ill enough to require care in an intensive care unit (ICU), both the disease itself (e.g. bacteria in the blood in sepsis or fractures after trauma) and effects of the immune system can cause circulatory, pulmonary, or renal dysfunction. Leukocytes play a dominant role in the immune system. LÄS MER
