Contrast medium used for radiologic tests can decrease renal function. However there have been few studies on contrast-associated acute kidney injury in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence, characteristics, and outcome of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) patients using the Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE) criteria in critically ill patients in the ICU.

Fluid overload is a risk factor for morbidity, mortality, and prolonged ventilation time after surgery. Patients on maintenance hemodialysis might be at higher risk. We hypothesized that fluid accumulation would be directly associated with extended ventilation time in patients on hemodialysis, as compared to patients with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis (CKD3–4) and patients with normal renal function (reference group).

(BQ) In this book, we continue to emphasize practical and clinically relevant aspects of manipulating the diet while making the Handbook more accessible and useful for physicians, dietitians, nurses, and other professionals who provide care to patients with kidney disease. We continue to emphasize the use of figures and tables to demonstrate nutritional principles.

Central Venous Catheter (CVC) remains a suitable form of vascular access for patients with chronic hemodialysis and has been estimated that almost 30-40% of patients are dependent on CVCs for their vascular access. Aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of Catheter Related Blood Stream Infections (CRBSIs). A Cross sectional study was undertaken after ethical committee approval, Blood samples (5ml-10ml) were collected from catheter site under sterile precautions and Blood Culture (Bac„T‟Alert) performed and isolates grown were identified by routine methods as per standards.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus belonging to the Hepadnaviridae family that infect humans causing a disease infecting liver cells displaying a substantial hepatic tissue tropism, and inducing chronic liver damage and subsequent Hepato carcinogenesis. In Oncology patients receive packed red blood cell suspensions and other blood products regularly and they are in the high-risk group for infections due to these viruses.

Recent studies on Vietnamese children have shown that kidney diseases are not detected early enough to prevent chronic renal failure. The dipstick test is a simple and useful tool for detecting urinary abnormalities, especially in isolated or remote areas of Vietnam, where children have limited access to health care.

Indicators reveal children are somewhat better off in urban areas than their rural counterparts. However, analysis of data show a growing “urban penalty” related to numbers of the urban poor and deteriorating conditions. Malnutrition is also becoming more of an urban problem, related to higher food costs, reliance on a cash economy and unsanitary conditions.116 The urban poor live in informal settlements without the secure tenure that protects them from eviction. The lack of a legal address can also mean disenfranchisement and difficulty to access services (e.g.

In health care practice outside the hospital, about 80% of the diseases treated are chronic. Although much of the treatment is remarkably efficient as a result of, inter alia, medical research, its quality is often far from satisfactory. Many patients do not comply* with instructions; fewer than 50% follow their treatment correctly. It has been observed that patients are inadequately informed about their condition and that few have been helped to manage or take responsibility for their treat- ment.

A growing body of literature argues that the availability and mix of physician specialties in areas is important for health outcomes. Areas with fewer specialists but higher generalists per capita were found to have better health outcomes or quality of care [21,22]. Goodman [23] found that greater physician supply is associated with both higher area income and lower mortality rates, and argued that regional variations in health outcomes and physician supply will exist as long as there are differences across communities in economic status.

These cross-country differences may provide information on the effectiveness of national health systems. However, they may also reflect other factors—such as differences in research methods, sample sizes, sample periods and variable definitions. This paper re-examines differences between American and English income gradients in children’s health, paying careful attention to these issues.

Any reform strategy faces the limitations of using health insurance as the only tool to accomplish new financing goals. As the dominant fiscal tool in the medical care sector, health insurance is designed to function over short time frames, focus- ing on episodes of care. Yearly renewals of eligibility and ongoing churning in in- surance markets preclude any real utility of health insurance as a mechanism for investing in the long-term health capital of a child.

This guideline is not intended to be construed or to serve as a standard of care. Standards of care are determined on the basis of all clinical data available for an individual case and are subject to change as scientific knowledge and technology advance and patterns of care evolve. Adherence to guideline recommendations will not ensure a successful outcome in every case, nor should they be construed as including all proper methods of care or excluding other acceptable methods of care aimed at the same results.

The majority of children with glomerulonephritis (GN) present with proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, edema, reduced renal function, or the nephrotic syndrome. Post- streptococcal acute GN is familiar to the practicing pedi- atrician. Most affected children have a benign course and can be easily treated by the primary care physician on an ambulatory basis. Obviously, a nephrology consultation should be obtained on patients with oliguria, hyperkalemia, nephrotic syndrome, cardiac overload, and renal insuffi- ciency.

Mortality rates among children and the absolute number of children dying annually in developing countries have declined considerably over the past few decades. However, the gains made have not been distributed evenly: childhood mortality remains higher among poorer people and the gap between rich and poor has grown. Several poor countries, and some poorer regions within countries, have experienced a levelling off of or even an increase in childhood mortality over the past few years.
