Multiparametric renal magnetic resonance imaging: validation, interventions, and alterations in chronic kidney disease (2017)
Journal Article
Cox, E. F., Buchanan, C. E., Bradley, C. R., Prestwich, B., Mahmoud, H., Taal, M., …Francis, S. T. (2017). Multiparametric renal magnetic resonance imaging: validation, interventions, and alterations in chronic kidney disease. Frontiers in Physiology, 8, Article 696. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2017.00696

Background: This paper outlines a multiparametric renal MRI acquisition and analysis protocol to allow non-invasive assessment of hemodynamics (renal artery blood flow and perfusion), oxygenation (BOLD T2*), and microstructure (diffusion, T1 mapping)...

Three-year outcomes after acute kidney injury: results of a prospective parallel group cohort study (2017)
Journal Article
Horne, K. L., Packington, R., Monaghan, J., Reilly, T., & Selby, N. M. (2017). Three-year outcomes after acute kidney injury: results of a prospective parallel group cohort study. BMJ Open, 7(3), Article e015316. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2016-015316

Objectives Using a prospective study design, we aimed to characterise the effect of acute kidney injury (AKI) on long-term changes in renal function in a general hospital population. Participants Hospitalised patients with AKI (exposed) and hospit... Read More about Three-year outcomes after acute kidney injury: results of a prospective parallel group cohort study.

Association between e-alert implementation for detection of acute kidney injury and outcomes: a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article
Lachance, P., Villeneuve, P., Rewa, O. G., Wilson, F. P., Selby, N. M., Featherstone, R. M., & Bagshaw, S. M. (2017). Association between e-alert implementation for detection of acute kidney injury and outcomes: a systematic review. Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 32(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfw424

Background. Electronic alerts (e-alerts) for acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients are increasingly being implemented; however, their impact on outcomes remains uncertain. Methods. We performed a systematic review. Electronic database... Read More about Association between e-alert implementation for detection of acute kidney injury and outcomes: a systematic review.

Intradialytic Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Assess Cardiovascular Responses in a Short-Term Trial of Hemodiafiltration and Hemodialysis (2016)
Journal Article
Buchanan, C., Mohammed, A., Cox, E., Köhler, K., Canaud, B., Taal, M. W., …McIntyre, C. W. (2017). Intradialytic Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Assess Cardiovascular Responses in a Short-Term Trial of Hemodiafiltration and Hemodialysis. Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 28(4), 1269-1277. https://doi.org/10.1681/ASN.2016060686

Hemodynamic stress during hemodialysis (HD) results in recurrent segmental ischemic injury (myocardial stunning) that drives cumulative cardiac damage. We performed a fully comprehensive study of the cardiovascular effect of dialysis sessions using i...

Imaging the kidney using magnetic resonance techniques: structure to function (2016)
Journal Article
Mahmoud, H., Buchanan, C., Francis, S. T., & Selby, N. M. (2016). Imaging the kidney using magnetic resonance techniques: structure to function. Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 25(6), https://doi.org/10.1097/MNH.0000000000000266

Purpose of review Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers the possibility to non-invasively assess both the structure and function of the kidney in a single MR scan session. This review summarises recent advancements in functional renal MRI techniqu... Read More about Imaging the kidney using magnetic resonance techniques: structure to function.

International criteria for acute kidney injury: advantages and remaining challenges (2016)
Journal Article
Selby, N. M., Fluck, R. J., Kolhe, N. V., & Taal, M. W. (2016). International criteria for acute kidney injury: advantages and remaining challenges. PLoS Medicine, 13(9), Article e1002122. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002122

• Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is defined using widely accepted international criteria that are based on changes in serum creatinine concentration and degree of oliguria. • AKI, when defined in this way, has a strong association with poor patient outco...

A simple care bundle for use in acute kidney injury: a propensity score-matched cohort study (2016)
Journal Article
Kolhe, N. V., Reilly, T., Leung, J., Fluck, R. J., Swinscoe, K. E., Selby, N. M., & Taal, M. W. (2016). A simple care bundle for use in acute kidney injury: a propensity score-matched cohort study. Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 31(11), https://doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfw087

Background Consensus guidelines for acute kidney injury (AKI) have recommended prompt treatment including attention to fluid balance, drug dosing and avoidance of nephrotoxins. These simple measures can be incorporated in a care bundle to facilita... Read More about A simple care bundle for use in acute kidney injury: a propensity score-matched cohort study.
