“…In addition to the difference in dialysis techniques and patients characteristics over four decades, the definitions of early and late used for these studies were heterogeneous. Although the results of this meta‐analysis suggested that early initiation of dialysis in patients with AKI might have a beneficial effect on survival, this conclusion was based on few RCT and heterogeneous studies (28).…”

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is now well recognized as an independent risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality particularly when dialysis is needed. Although renal replacement therapy (RRT) has been used in AKI for more than five decades, there is no standard methodology to predict which AKI patients will need dialysis and who will recover renal function without requiring dialysis. The lack of consensus on what parameters should guide the decision to start dialysis has led to a wide variation in dialysis utilization. A contributing factor is the lack of studies in the modern era evaluating the relationship of timing of dialysis initiation and outcomes. Although listed as one of the top priorities in research on AKI, timing of dialysis initiation has not been included as a factor in large, randomized controlled trials in this area. In this review we will discuss the criteria that have been used to define early vs. late initiation in previous studies on dialysis initiation. In addition, we propose a patient-centered approach to define early and late initiation that could serve as framework for managing patients and for future studies in this area.

“…La mortalidad previa al tratamiento con recambio plasmático relacionada con las MAT era superior al 50%; actualmente, con su introducción, es del 10%, siendo también el tratamiento de elección en las MAT asociadas al VIH 1,4 . Aunque la utilización de los corticoides como terapia adyuvante está ampliamente extendida, no se recomienda en pacientes inmunodeprimidos 5 .…”

“…There are also reports of HUS in the context of viral illnesses illness (Constantinescu et al 2004). Viruses that have been associated with the development of HUS include Influenza A (Asaka et al 2000;Watanabe 2001) (including H1N1) (Bento et al 2010;Caltik et al 2011;Golubovic et al 2011;Printza et al 2011;Trachtman et al 2011), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (Benjamin et al 2009;Gomes et al 2009;Hartel et al 2007), Dengue fever (Wiersinga et al 2006), Epstein Barr Virus (Watanabe et al 2004), Human Herpes Virus 6 (Matsuda et al 1999), Hepatitis C (Baid et al 1999), Coxsackie A & B (Austin and Ray 1973;Glasgow and Balduzzi 1965), and Parvovirus B-19.…”

“…TMA has been reported as a manifestation of HIV infection (Fine et al 2008;Gomes et al 2009;Ross et al 2009;Soler-Garcia et al 2009). The prevalence of TMA appears much reduced in patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART) (Gervasoni et al 2002).…”
