Protocol-based hydration may ⬇️ AKI after pulsed-field ablation for AF. In this ❤️ Rhythm study (n=501), AKI occurred in 6.4%; CKD, extensive LA ablation, & more PF applications increased risk. A hydration regimen (≥2,000 mL) ⬇️ AKI risk by 67%.

Great presentations & projects from the Early Career Professionals @kdigo.org meeting today #GoKDIGO
AKI e-alerts may improve recognition, but not major clinical outcomes. Xie et al.’s nationwide real-world study confirms what prior RCTs showed: no meaningful impact on mortality, progression, or recovery. More targeted strategies are needed.

The draft of @kdigo.org Clinical Practice Guideline for AKI/ AKD is now available for public review through 🗓️ April 27, 2026 #Nephpearls #NephSky
We invite you to review the draft and share comments to help inform the final guideline

Reminder: The draft of the KDIGO 2026 AKI/AKD Guideline is available for public review through Monday, April 27.
Download the guideline and submit comments via the feedback form on the guideline website: kdigo.org/guidelines/a...
Reviewers can comment on any section. All feedback is appreciated.
Listening to the patient voice 🗣️ matters.
Consensus conferences & clinical practice guidelines should not rely only on evidence, but also on patients’ lived experiences, priorities, & concerns. Applause 👏🏻 to @KDIGO.org for making patient participation part of the process. #KDIGO
PPIs remain linked to important 🫘 safety concerns 👉🏻 AKI, incident CKD, & progression to ESKD. Mechanistically, AIN appears central. Emerging data also suggest that P-CABs/vonoprazan may carry nephrotoxicity signals, comparative safety data are still evolving. #AKICRRT2026
In acute 💔 failure, priorities are clear: decongestion, rapid GDMT optimization, & prevention of severe AKI.
Residual congestion is not benign—it drives worse outcomes, rehospitalization, & 🫘 complications.

In hospitalized adults with SIAD and fluid restriction failure, oral NaCl plus furosemide achieved a median serum sodium correction of 1.5 mmol/L/day. Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and AKI were frequent, underscoring the need for close monitoring.

Point-of-care creatinine testing in a Nigerian 🇳🇬 primary care center showed a striking contrast: AKI was rare in adults (2/301) but common in children (70/123, 56.9%), especially in those <5 years old. Malaria 🦟 was the leading diagnosis. #AKI

AKI doesn’t end at discharge. Survivors remain at higher risk of CKD, recurrent AKI, CV events, readmission and premature death. This review proposes 10 pragmatic tips for patient-centred post-AKI care, from early follow-up to medication optimization.

Acute ⬆️ in sCr are common safety end points in trials, but defining AKI is tricky: large irreversible changes may understate risk, while small reversible ones may overcall harm In 📑authors suggest MAKE90 as a default phase 3 kidney safety end point. 🔗 journals.lww.com/jasn/fulltex...

Is sex-by-age interaction a missing factor in AKI epidemiology? A 📑 of 87,087 adults found AKI in 20.6% of 🏥 admissions. Incidence was ⬆️ in 👩🏻 overall, but worse outcomes were seen in 👴🏻 highlighting a dynamic interaction between sex, age, & AKI risk 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/ndt/...

A post-hoc analysis in patients with severe AKI receiving CKRT found that trajectory patterns marked by ⬆️ sBUN to Cr ratio or ⬆️ lactate levels were associated with especially poor outcomes. Findings were externally validated in MIMIC-IV #AKI #CKRT

In a post-hoc analysis of 8,614 participants from CANVAS & CREDENCE trials, abnormal urinary leukocyte esterase & nitrite were associated with ⬆️ UTI risk. Canagliflozin did not ⬆️ UTI risk, including in those with abnormal urinary findings. #SGLT2i

Does desmopressin reduce bleeding after kidney biopsy? In a meta-analysis of 17 trials (5,394 participants), no overall benefit was seen. IV use was linked to higher🩸 odds, while SC & intranasal routes may help. Hyponatremia remains a concern. More trials needed.
