Rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury (RIAKI) is a serious clinical disease in intensive care unit, characterized by high mortality and low cure rate. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a common form of treatment for RIAKI. There are currently no guidelines to guide the application of CRRT in RIAKI. To solve this problem, this article reviews the advantages and limitations of CRRT in the treatment of RIAKI, as well as new viewpoints and research progress in the selection of treatment timing, treatment mode, treatment dose and filtration membrane, with the aim of providing theoretical guidance for the treatment of CRRT in RIAKI patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the changes of serum irisin in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with sarcopenia.MethodsFrom January to June 2019, 56 MHD patients from Shanxi Provincial People’s Hospital were selected. Judging by the results of body composition analyzer, the MHD patients were divided into the sarcopenia group (n=31) and the non-sarcopenia group (n=25). The serum irisin level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The muscle cross-sectional area at the third lumbar level was measured by CT. SPSS 21.0 software was used for inter-group comparison, correlation analysis, and regression analysis.ResultsThe serum irisin concentration in the sarcopenia group was lower than that in the non-sarcopenia group [medium (lower quartile, upper quartile): 175.46 (126.00, 220.52) vs. 459.10 (233.83, 616.91) pg/mL; Z=−4.195, P<0.001]. The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum irisin level was positively correlated with lean tissue index (rs=0.265, P=0.048), however negatively correlated with serum creatinine level (rs=−0.311, P=0.020). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that serum irisin level [odds ratio (OR)=0.957, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.925, 0.990), P=0.012], walking speed [OR=0.000, 95%CI (0.000, 0.050), P=0.031], and grip strength [OR=0.658, 95%CI (0.434, 0.997), P=0.048] were protective factors of sarcopenia in MHD patients.ConclusionsThe level of circulating irisin in MHD patients with sarcopenia is lower than that in MHD patients without sarcopenia. Irisin is a protective factor of sarcopenia in MHD patients.
