Endotoxin removal in cardiac bypass surgery in 2026: where do we stand, and where are we going?
The significance of endotoxemia during cardiopulmonary bypass remains incompletely understood. This review summarizes decades of research and highlights that clinically relevant endotoxemia affects only a subset of patients, making indis...

Kidney volumetry for predicting long-term outcome in acute kidney injury: A retrospective cohort study
Introduction: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is effective for severe acute kidney injury (AKI); however, predicting successful CRRT discontinuation and long-term outcomes remains challenging. Although urinary neutrophil gela...

Italian Cooperative HemoAdsorption Study for Relief of Uremic Symptoms (ICHARUS): Study Protocol for a Prospective, Multicenter, Real-World Registry
Persistent uremic symptoms remain common among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis, even when contemporary dialysis prescriptions are optimized. These symptoms are only partially captured by conventional adequacy metrics and repr...

Association of Protein Intake with Protein-Energy Wasting in Patients Undergoing Post-Dilution Online Hemodiafiltration
Background. Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is a frequent complication in patients receiving kidney replacement therapy and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Hemodiafiltration (HDF), a convective dialysis modality, enhances urem...

A comparison of phosphate-containing versus conventional hemodialysis solutions for citrate-anticoagulated continuous veno-venous hemodialysis in patients with acute kidney injury
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently necessitates continuous renal replacement therapy, often causing phosphate and magnesium losses. We evaluated whether a phosphate containing, magnesium-enriched dialysate reduces hypophos...

Evaluation of splenic volume and oxygenation during hemodialysis
Introduction: During hemodialysis (HD), the redistribution of blood from the hepatosplanchnic vascular bed to the central circulation is a key compensatory response to ultrafiltration. A major blood reservoir, the spleen can expel red bl...
