Categories of hospital-associated acute kidney injury: time course of changes in serum creatinine values.
The objective of this study was to categorize hospital-associated acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) based on the timing of minimum and peak inpatient serum creatinine (sCr) and describe the association with inpatient mortality. It concluded that risk of short-term inpatient mortality is associated with AKI, and this risk is attenuated with recovery of kidney function in the hospital.

Symptomatic subcapsular and perinephric hematoma following ureteroscopic lithotripsy for renal calculi.
The researchers sought to document the rate of and risk factors for the rare complication of symptomatic renal hematoma following ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) for renal calculi. They found that, while symptomatic hematoma is a complication of URSL, the rate of such outcome (0.8 percent) is far less than that reported by prior series with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
