Timing of dialysis initiation in acute kidney injury and acute-on-chronic renal failure.

abstract：:It has been nearly 100 years since the first published report of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) by the French chemist Maillard. Since then, our understanding of AGEs in diseased states has dramatically changed. Especially in the last 25 years, AGEs have been implicated in complications related to aging, neurod...

abstract：:Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is commonly used in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. Many studies show that compared with intermittent hemodialysis, continuous therapy has superior hemodynamic stability, metabolic clearance, and volume control. Despite these benefits, no survival advantage...
