Introduction/Objective. Hyperchloremia is often registered in adults? studies after administration with 0.9% sodium chloride, which contributes to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) as it leads to vasoconstriction of renal blood vessels. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of sodium and chloride imbalance with the development of AKI, with consideration of other risk factors for this disorder. Methods. This retrospective study included 146 randomly selected preterm infants hospitalized at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit from 2008 to 2015. Results. Among the patients registered for the study, 23.97% developed AKI, and they were of a significantly lower gestational age (26.3 ? 2.8 weeks vs. 31.7 ? 2.90 weeks, p < 0.05); birth weight (971.31 ? 412.1 g vs. 1,753.3 ? 750.3 g, p < 0.05); Apgar score in the first (3.2 ? 1.7 vs. 5.7 ? 2.4, p < 0.05) and fifth minute (5.3 ? 1.7 vs. 7.1 ? 1.8, p < 0.05) of life compared to those without AKI. The neonates with AKI had significantly higher maximum chloremia (Clmax: 114.1 ? 8.4 vs. 111.7 ? 4.6, p = 0.029) and maximum natremia (Namax: 147.9 ? 8.8 vs. 142.9 ? 4, p < 0.05). Each of these parameters is (independently) a statistically significant risk factor for the development of AKI, and gestational age is the strongest (OR = 1 / 0.643 = 1.55; 95% CI 1.24?1.94). Mortality in neonates with AKI was higher than in neonates without AKI (19.4% vs. 92.7%, p < 0.05). Conclusion. Hyperchloremia and hypernatremia are more common in the premature newborns with AKI compared to the premature newborns without AKI. Higher maximum sodium and chloride values are independent risk factors for AKI.

Кidney injury is a frequent and significant complication of cancer and cancer therapy. The kidneys are susceptible to injury from malignant infiltration, damage by metabolites of malignant cells, glomerular  injury, nephrotoxic drugs including chemotherapeutic agents. Also  bone marrow transplantation complications, infections with immune  suppression (including septicemia), tumor lysis syndrome should be  taken into account. Chemotherapeutic agents are a common cause  of acute kidney injury but can potentially lead to chronic kidney  disease development in cancer patients. This article summarizes risk  factors of acute kidney injury in cancer patients. Risk factors are  divided into two groups. The systemic are decrease of total  circulating blood volume, infiltration of kidney tissue by tumor cells,  dysproteinemia, electrolyte disturbances. The local (renal) risk  factors are microcirculation disturbances, drugs biotransformation  with formation of reactive oxygen intermediates, high concentration of nephrotoxic agents in proximal tubules and its  sensitivity to ischemia. Drug-related risk factors include: drugs  combination with cytotoxic effect high doses long term use necessity, direct cytotoxic effect of not only chemotherapeutic agents but also its metabolites, mean solubility forming intratubular  precipitates. Early diagnosis, timely prevention and treatment of  these complications provide significantly improve nononcologic results of treatment.

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the connection between malnutrition evaluated by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and the risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in elderly patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 1308 patients aged over 75 years undergoing PCI was included. Based on the CONUT score, patients were assigned to normal (0–1), mild malnutrition (2–4), moderate-severe malnutrition group (≥ 5). The primary outcome was CA-AKI (an absolute increase in ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or ≥ 50% relative serum creatinine increase 48 h after contrast medium exposure). Results Overall, the incidence of CA-AKI in normal, mild, moderate-severe malnutrition group was 10.8%, 11.0%, and 27.2%, respectively (p < 0.01). Compared with moderate-severe malnutrition group, the normal group and the mild malnutrition group showed significant lower risk of CA-AKI in models adjusting for risk factors for CA-AKI and variables in univariate analysis (odds ratio [OR] = 0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.89, p = 0.02; OR = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.26–0.82, p = 0.009, respectively). Furthermore, the relationship were consistent across the subgroups classified by risk factors for CA-AKI except anemia. The risk of CA-AKI related with CONUT score was stronger in patients with anemia. (overall interaction p by CONUT score = 0.012). Conclusion Moderate-severe malnutrition is associated with higher risk of CA-AKI in elderly patients undergoing PCI.
