Acute Kidney Injury Due to Numerous Etiologies

Dear Colleagues,

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious, sometimes life-threatening, clinical complication. Although some causes of AKI are known, there are numerous states that may result in kidney injury. AKI may lead to chronic kidney disease, and in some cases, to end-stage renal disease with renal replacement therapy requirement. This Special Issue is aimed at presenting different causes of AKI, including injuries, surgical procedures, glomerulopathies, vasculitis, cardiovascular diseases, and others. It also aims to present cases of AKI related to multiple organ injuries due to mass events. The early treatment of AKI may prevent the development of chronic kidney disease and other complications of renal failure, which is why it is crucial to know about numerous causes of kidney injury and different methods of AKI treatment. A diverse range of articles included in this Special Issue would allow us to better understand the problem of AKI.

The topic should include:

• AKI in septic shock
• AKI in hypovolemic shock
• AKI due to extensive injuries
• AKI after numerous surgical procedures
• AKI after cardiosurgical procedures
• AKI related with numerous drug therapies
• AKI after burn injury
• AKI in multiple myeloma
• Chronic kidney disease as a consequence of AKI
• AKI in different glomerulopathies
• Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis in vasculitis
• Plasmapheresis as a new method of AKI treatment due to vasculitis
• Contrast-induced AKI
• AKI in cardiorenal syndrome
• AKI due to cardiovascular complications
• AKI due to vascular complications
• AKI in multiple organ failure due to mass events
• Hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration and continuous renal replacement therapy
