Long-term follow-up of adult women with urinary tract infection in childhood
(2016-01-27)
Acute pyelonephritis is common in young children and can lead to permanent renal damage. Renal damage increases the risk of complications such as hypertension and decreased renal function later in life. For women with renal ...
Cardiopulmonary bypass and the kidney - studies on patients undergoing cardiac surgery
(2018-11-12)
Acute kidney injury is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and has a major impact on morbidity, mortality and costs. The mechanism of CPB-related renal impairment is not fully ...
Renal perfusion, function and oxygenation after major surgery and in septic shock
(2017-11-24)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and dreaded complication to severe illness and major surgery, with major impact on mor- bidity and mortality. The aim of this doctoral thesis was to increase the knowledge on renal ...
Prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery
(2010-06-01)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently after cardiac surgery and is independently associated with increased mortality. The main cause of AKI in these patients is renal ischemia. However, data on the renal oxygenation, ...
Renal function after transplantation of the liver and intestine
(2010-01-27)
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) after liver (LT) or intestinal (IT) transplantation may decrease patient survival. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) play a major role in its development.
Aims: Describe long term renal ...
Cardiac surgery and the kidney - studies on the effects of pharmacological interventions on renal perfusion, filtration and oxygenation
(2013-03-25)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly complicates cardiac surgery and is associated with high mortality. Renal ischemia is considered to be the major cause. There is a close association between glomerular filtration rate ...
