Kidney Ischemia

We report the case of a sepsis-induced acute kidney injury accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation and thrombotic microangiopathy, responsible for subsequent renal microvascular thrombosis. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used to assess the thrombotic cortical kidney ischemia and its evolution over time.

The Common

Ultrasound assessment of the urinary tract is frequently undertaken to identify post-renal or obstructive causes of renal failure. This chapter describes the normal renal sonoanatomy and the technique for scanning the renal tract, including the bladder. The sonographic features of the common pathology that may be identified are described, including the classification of hydronephrosis. The advanced section introduces the role of ultrasound in assessing renal perfusion.

Long Term Mortality

Children undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI). Preventing cardiac surgery–associated AKI (CS-AKI) is important as it is associated with increased early- and long-term mortality and morbidity. Targeting modifiable risk factors (eg, avoiding poor renal perfusion, nephrotoxic drugs, and fluid overload) reduces the risk of CS-AKI. There is currently no strong evidence for the routine use of pharmacological approaches (eg, aminophylline, dexmedetomidine, fenoldopam, and steroids) to prevent CS-AKI. There is robust evidence to support the role of early peritoneal dialysis as a nonpharmacologic approach to prevent CS-AKI.
