The role of KATP channels on propofol preconditioning in a cellular model of renal ischemia-reperfusion.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) has been shown to protect several organs, including the kidneys, from ischemia-reperfusion (I-R)-induced injury. Although propofol affects adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels in ... Read more...

Effect of a single dose of tobramycin on systemic inflammatory response-induced acute kidney injury in a 6-hour porcine model.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the addition of tobramycin further compromises renal function in inflammatory response-induced acute kidney injury. Effective antibiotic treatment in septic shock is crucial for the outcome. The combination of ... Read more...

Provider knowledge of contrast-induced acute kidney injury.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Although past research has elucidated the principal risk factors and efficacy of preventive interventions for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI), provider awareness of this empiric evidence base is largely unknown. We sought to ... Read more...
