• Abstract

  Introduction: Peritonitis is a serious complication related to the dialysis method and has high rates of morbidity and mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), being the main cause of transition to hemodialysis. Aminoglycoside and vancomycin are options for empirical treatment, with spectrum for gram-negative and positive germs, respectively and should be administered intraperit…

• Abstract

  Acute kidney injury is associated with high mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU), with few studies on the protein and energetic metabolism of AKI patients with need of dialysis. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the protein and energetic metabolism by the nitrogen balance and resting energy expenditure, respectively of acute tubular necrosis patients …

• Abstract

  Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common and complex syndrome defined as sudden decline of glomerular filtration rate. It reachs up to 40% of patients in intensive care units (ICU) and is associated with high mortality (about 70% of the cases). There are several risk factors for AKI and the most frequent are advanced age, sepsis, shock, heart failure, liver disease, major surgery, and variou…

• Abstract

  Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a frequent pathology, mainly in critical patients, achieving 40% in Intensive Care Units (ICU). Many factors may lead to AKI development, especially advanced age that can be associated with structural and functional kidney tissue frailty and sepsis, syndrome very frequent and with high mortality rates (30-60%) in ICU. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence…
