Introduction: Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease present with various complications like electrolyte disturbances, metabolic acidosis and fluid overload in children. The objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of the first session of haemodialysis in children with acute kidney injury stage 3 and chronic kidney disease G5 treated by dialysis for immediate recovery of renal functions in terms of reduction in the level of azotemia, correction of fluid and electrolyte imbalances, metabolic acidosis, and improvement in clinical status. Methods: This was a cross-sectional comparative observational study conducted on 13 patients of acute kidney injury stage 3 and 46 patients with chronic kidney disease G5, who required haemodialysis. Their clinical assessment, fluid status, renal function tests, electrolyte, bicarbonate were done at admission and completion of the first session of heamodialysis. Results: The age group of children was six to 16 years (median 11.4 years). There were six males (46%) and seven females (54%) in the acute kidney injury group and 29 (63%) males and 17 (37%) females in chronic kidney disease G5 groups. Sepsis (31%) and glomerulonephritis (31%) were common etiologies detected for acute kidney injury while in chronic kidney disease G5, congenital anomalies of the kidney and the urinary tract were the commonest (50%). There were significant reductions in the levels of serum urea and creatinine and a rise in blood pH, bicarbonate level, and base excess following the first session of haemodialysis in comparison to pre-dialysis values in both AKI and CKD. Conclusions: The study demonstrated improvement in the clinical parameters and biochemical parameters equally after the first dialysis sessions in both groups. This is one of the effective renal replacement therapy and should be instituted wherever indicated to improve the immediate outcome of the patients.

AbstractPostoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) is a common complication of major surgery that is strongly associated with short-term surgical complications and long-term adverse outcomes, including increased risk of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events and death. Risk factors for PO-AKI include older age and comorbid diseases such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus. PO-AKI is best defined as AKI occurring within 7 days of an operative intervention using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition of AKI; however, additional prognostic information may be gained from detailed clinical assessment and other diagnostic investigations in the form of a focused kidney health assessment (KHA). Prevention of PO-AKI is largely based on identification of high baseline risk, monitoring and reduction of nephrotoxic insults, whereas treatment involves the application of a bundle of interventions to avoid secondary kidney injury and mitigate the severity of AKI. As PO-AKI is strongly associated with long-term adverse outcomes, some form of follow-up KHA is essential; however, the form and location of this will be dictated by the nature and severity of the AKI. In this Consensus Statement, we provide graded recommendations for AKI after non-cardiac surgery and highlight priorities for future research.

Abstract Background and Aims Urinary microRNA (miRNA)-21 is reported to be a biomarker for detection of acute kidney injury (AKI). Analysis of urinary exsome may serve as a novel diagnostic approach in kidney disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical significance of urinary exosomal miRNA-21 for AKI in patients with scrub typhus. Method In a cross-sectional study, we collected 138 urine samples at the time of admission from 145 patients with scrub typhus. For 25 patients with scrub typhus-associated AKI and 25 age, sex-matched scrub typhus patient without AKI, we measured miRNA-21 in urinary exosomal fraction and compared diagnostic value in predictiong AKI. Results Compared with patients in the non-AKI group, patients in the AKI group were more likely to have one or more comorbidity such as diabetes (50% vs. 5%, P<0.01) and chronic kidney disease (8% vs. 0%, P<0.01). Total leukocyte count were higher in patients with AKI than in those without AKI (10.40 × 103/ mL vs. 6.40 × 103/mL, P<0.01). The levels of urinary miRNA-21 were higher in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group. Urinary exosomal miRNA-21 levels correlated directly with serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin values and total leukocyte counts and inversely with estimated glomerular filtration rate. The receiver operator characteristics curve analysis for urinary exosomal miRNA-21 showed good discriminative power for the diagnosis of scrub typhus-associated AKI, with area under the curve value of 0.907. Conclusion Urinary exosomal miRNA-21 could be a surrogate markers for the diagnosis of scrub typhus–associated AKI.
