Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in inpatients when information from the 'PRIME solution' (AKI prediction program utilizing artificial intelligence) is provided. The main questions it aims to answer are: •[When Artificial intelligence (AI) provides information regarding AKI occurrence prediction within 48 hours, what would change in the physician's behavior?] •[If provided with AI information, what would be the incidence of AKI, severe AKI (stage 2 or 3), kidney replacement therapy, and changes in mortality during hospitalization?] In the case of the intervention group that receives AI information, autonomous treatment is conducted by referring to AI prediction information. Researchers will compare it with a usual-care group that does not receive AI prediction results.
The goal of this RCT is to compare the effectiveness of aminophylline and furosemide combination vs furosemide alone in producing effective diuresis in critically ill adults in ICU. ICU patients with the need of improved diuresis will be recruited and given either infusion of aminophylline and furosemide combination or furosemide alone, and their hourly urine output will be monitored to compare their effectiveness.
Acute kidney injury (AKI), which can occur after major surgeries, leads to increased morbidity and mortality if not detected and managed promptly. In clinical practice, serum creatinine and urine output values of patients are monitored to detect AKI, but these parameters can cause delays in diagnosis. Additionally, studies have been conducted on biomarkers such as Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C in recent years, but definitive results have not been achieved. Renal Doppler Resistive Index (RDRI) is a non-invasive index believed to reflect renal vascular perfusion. RDRI measurement is a repeatable, inexpensive, and easy-to-apply technique. RDRI has been found to be associated with AKI in conditions such as renal dysfunction, hypertension, and post-traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Furthermore, due to the impact on renal perfusion in patients undergoing major surgery, RDRI, which reflects renal vascular resistance, can serve as an indicator of kidney perfusion. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis, 'Does measuring postoperative RDRI in major abdominal surgery cases yield higher sensitivity and specificity values in detecting acute kidney injury compared to NGAL?'
During cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS1) vascular congestion is the major contributor to worsening renal function, but promoting decongestion with routine clinical evaluation is ineffective in some patients. The venous evaluation by ultrasound (VExUS) may optimize its management when evaluating for improvement in kidney function and other metrics related to decongestion.
Acute kidney failure remains one of the most challenging entities to diagnose in clinical medicine, especially in the field of intensive care. The diagnosis of acute kidney injury is based solely on urine output and serum creatinine, both of which could also be influenced by other factors. A more sensitive and faster diagnostic option would not only be desirable but of utmost clinical importance. Therefore, the investigators aim to identify Neuronal Guidance Proteins (NGPs) as potential biomarkers for the identification and early detection of AKI with this investigation. This investigation aims to identify the possibility of diagnosing acute kidney injury, the subsequent validation of a potential biomarker will then have to take place in a multicenter study approach: Data in preclinical mouse models suggest that SEMA7A as one of the NGPs could be valuable as a biomarker, the study now aims to attempt a preliminary survey in humans and measure various NGPs.
Current evidence shows that computerized decision support systems (CDSS) have shown to be insufficiently effective to prevent adverse drug reactions (ADRs) at large scale (e.g. whole hospital). Several barriers for successful implementation of CDSS have been identified: over-alerting, lack of specificity of rules, and physician interruption during prescription. The effectiveness of CDSS could be increased in two ways. Firstly, by creating rules that are more specific to a given adverse drug reaction: the current study focuses on acute renal failure and hyperkalemia (two serious and frequent ADR in older hospitalized patients). Secondly, by involving the pharmacist in the review of the alerts so that he/she can transmit, if deemed necessary, a pharmaceutical recommendation to the clinician. This procedure will reduce over-alerting and prevent task interruption. The hypothesis is that the use of specific rules created by a multidisciplinary team and implemented in a CDSS, combined with a strategy for managing and transmitting alerts, can reduce specific ADRs such as hyperkalemia and acute renal failure.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of high chlorine solution such as normal saline and non-high chlorine solution such as sodium lactate ringer's solution on renal function in patients with heat stroke. The main question it aims to answer is whether limiting the amount of normal saline infusion during emergency department can lower the incidence of acute kidney injury and mortality in patients with heat stroke. Participants will receive a free normal saline infusion during the emergency department according to the study design, or a restricted normal saline infusion while using sodium lactate Ringer's instead. Researchers will compare the normal saline infusion group and sodium lactate Ringer's group to see if limiting the amount of normal saline infusion during emergency department can lower the incidence of acute kidney injury and mortality in patients with heat stroke.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test if a hyperosmolar prime solution used for cardiopulmonary bypass increases the risk for acute postoperative kidney injury.
The goal of this study is to evaluate if hypertonic saline solution can prevent or attenuate acute kidney injury after heart transplantation in the early postoperative phase.
Renal failure is a common complication of lung transplant (LUTX). Early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in this cohort is of utmost importance, since AKI after LUTX is associated with worsened short and long-term outcomes. To now, early biomarkers of renal failure based on the measurement of cell-cycle arrest proteins have never been tested in this population.
