Purpose : Partial nephrectomy is the reference standard for the management of small renal
tumors and is commonly used for localized kidney cancer. A primary goal of partial …

Objective To determine the relative effect of type and duration of ischemia and parenchymal
volume preservation on renal function after partial nephrectomy (PN). Materials and …

Purpose : Chronic kidney disease from medical causes is present in 25% to 30% of patients
before surgery for renal cancer. Although chronic kidney disease due to medical causes is …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be associated with a higher risk of progression
to end-stage renal disease and mortality, but the etiology of nephron loss may modify this…

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most frequent extra-pulmonary organ failure in
acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The objective of this study was to assess the …

COVID-19 is primarily considered a respiratory illness, but the kidney may be one of the
targets of SARS-CoV-2 infection, since the virus enters cells through the angiotensin-converting …

Purpose : Chronic kidney disease is associated with a higher likelihood of progression to
end stage renal disease and increased mortality rates. However, the etiology of nephron loss …

Background. Hypophosphatemia is common in critically ill patients and has been associated
with generalized muscle weakness, ventilatory failure and myocardial dysfunction. …

Background Acute increase of serum creatinine (SCr) after partial nephrectomy (PN) is
primarily due to parenchymal mass reduction or ischemia; however, only ischemia can impact …

Background and objectives: Chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate<
60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2) and peripheral arterial disease (ankle-brachial index< 0.9) …
