TL;DR: The purpose of this study is to examine the pathophysiology, risk factors and clinical course of CIN, as well as the most recent studies dealing with its prevention and potential therapeutic interventions, especially during PCI.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared ultra-filtration and conventional therapy in patients hospitalized for congestive heart failure and overt fluid overload, and found that ultrafiltration-induced benefit was associated with a more stable renal function, unchanged furosemide dose, and lower B-type natriuretic peptide levels.

TL;DR: In patients with ACS, AKI is a frequent complication, and the graded increase of its severity, as assessed using the AKI Network classification, is associated with a progressive increased risk of in-hospital morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: In ACS patients, severe vitamin D deficiency is independently associated with poor in-hospital and 1-year outcomes, and low vitamin D levels represent a risk marker or a risk factor in ACS remains to be elucidated.

TL;DR: The evidence on the association between vitamin D deficiency and AMI, in terms of prevalence and prognostic impact, and the possible mechanisms mediating it is discussed.
