Renal Insufficiency, Acute - Complications
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Renal Insufficiency, Acute'Conditions in which the function of KIDNEYS deteriorates suddenly in a matter of days or even hours. It is characterized by the sudden drop in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE; (GMR). The most severe stage is when the GFR drops below 15 ml per min (ACUTE KIDNEY FAILURE). Common names: Renal Insufficiency, Acute; Acute Renal Insufficiencies; Renal Insufficiencies, Acute; Acute Kidney Insufficiency; Acute Renal Insufficiency; Kidney Insufficiency, Acute; Acute Kidney Insufficiencies; Kidney Insufficiencies, Acute |

Prediction, progression, and outcomes of chronic kidney disease in older adults.
19 May 2009 
Chronic kidney disease is a large and growing problem among aging populations. Although progression of chronic kidney disease to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a costly and important clinical event with substantial morbidity, it appears less ... Read more...
Perioperative mortality risk score using pre- and postoperative risk factors in older patients.
29 Apr 2009 We developed a risk score for 30-day postoperative mortality: the Perioperative Mortality risk score. We used a derivation cohort from a previous study of surgical patients aged 70 years or more at three large metropolitan teaching hospitals, using ... Read more...
