Filter by:This is a single-center, prospective sample collection study. Samples will be used to establish the performance characteristics of myo-inositol oxygenase (MIOX) as an aid in the early diagnosis of acute renal injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery.
This study aims to investigate the predictive value of novel biomarkers and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for early detection of abdominal end-organ (kidney and intestinum) hypoperfusion and ischemia in patients undergoing endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for aortic aneurysm or dissection. In this context, patients will be monitored for renal biomarkers (TIMP-2, IGFBP7) and intestinal biomarkers (plasmatic intestinal fatty acid binding protein (i-FABP)) and local tissue perfusion will be assessed using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). The ultimate goal of this study is an early identification of patients developing one or both of these complications, which may facilitate a timely intervention to improve outcome.
The aim of this study is to examine the association between preoperative statin treatment and the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury(AKI) in patients undergoing valvular heart surgery.
We previously demonstrated that the slope of the relationship plotting individual iodine loads against contrast-induced serum creatinine changes ( the load-to-damage relationship, LDR) characterizes the intrinsic nephrotoxicity of the contrast. Aim of the present study is to compare, through the assessment of the LDR slope, the intrinsic nephrotoxicity of two different contrast media using serum cystatin-C changes as the LDR dependent variable.
Trial to test the effect of administering N-acetylcysteine on cytokines and markers of oxidant stress and the incidence of acute renal failure post liver tranplant
Across the world, the most common cause of dying in the ICU is a disease called "sepsis". Sepsis is a disease in which the body's protective response to infection becomes too intense, unnecessarily damaging important organs in the body. Kidney damage during sepsis is particularly bad, as a person's chance of survival drops significantly when he or she develops kidney failure. This study plans to learn more about how to detect (and thus prevent) kidney failure early in sepsis. The current tests doctors use only detect kidney failure once it's already happened. We must therefore find better ways of detecting kidney failure earlier, when there is still a chance to protect the kidneys. In this study, patients will provide a one-time sample of urine. We will check this urine for signs of a protein called "heparanase", which we believe is important in early kidney failure. We will then see if high heparanase activity in urine predicts the risk of developing kidney failure. We will compare results from patients with sepsis with results from patients with trauma, allowing us to determine if heparanase is only important in sepsis kidney failure.
The study hypothesis is that regional anesthesia offers better outcome for the patients who underwent robot assisted laparoscopic urogenital surgery.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of ABT-719 in patients undergoing high risk major surgery.
The purpose of study is to compare the incidence of acute kidney injury in patients receiving perioperative dexmedetomidine or placebo undergoing valvular heart surgery.
There is evidence to suggest that patients make different end-of-life decisions if they understand the risks, benefits and alternatives of CPR and mechanical ventilation. This study will examine whether evidence-based informed consent impacts patients choices and healthcare outcomes compared to routine care.
