Filter by:Patients who are very ill either due to a severe infection, major organ injury, trauma or a major operation may require significant support with devices such as a dialysis machine for the kidneys or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for the heart and lungs. This is often due to a reaction of the body to the insult which is termed inflammation. The investigators would like to assess if the use of a device that can remove the agents driving this reaction can lead to a quicker recovery form the illness. The device is a blood filter called HA380 and it would be connected to either the dialysis machine or the ECMO circuit. The investigators want to assess the feasibility of conducting a study with the HA380 column. We will also evaluate if the use of the HA380 column has an effect on the time spent on dialysis or ECMO, time spent on the breathing machine, time spent requiring drugs to support blood pressure and time spent in the intensive care unit.
This study aims to investigate the true incidence and clinical presentation of post-traumatic AKI in hospitalized pediatric patients and identify the risk, and severity of AKI. The results would aid the emergency physicians in the early identification of those at risk of AKI to establish a resuscitation strategy that aims at preventing AKI
Severe trauma remains the leading cause of death in people under 50, and is associated with high morbidity, including severe disability, with a substantial socio-economic impact. Secondary to trauma, multiple mechanisms (inflammatory, ischemic, oxidative, etc.) setting in rapidly, leads to organ failure, one of the three first cause of death. Vascular damage, with vasoplegia, renal damage, with acute kidney injury (AKI), and pulmonary damage, with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are the most frequently observed but all organs can be affected whatever the type of trauma. For these reasons, identifying the pathophysiological pathways involved in organ failure induced by severe trauma is a major step towards limiting the morbidity and mortality induced by trauma, and proposing therapies to prevent them. Because of the variability of lesions in these patients, and the multiplicity of pathways activated, the mechanisms involved and their causality with organ failure following severe trauma, are still poorly understood. Given their frequency and importance in terms of morbidity and mortality, the investigators decided to take a particular interest in the mechanisms leading to renal and pulmonary injury. The investigators' hypothesis is that the study of urinary and blood markers not performed as part of clinical routine would provide a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to organ failure secondary to severe trauma, and more specifically to renal and pulmonary injuries. With TRAUMATEC study, the investigators will explore mechanisms leading to AKI and ARDS through blood and urine samples of 60 severe trauma patients sampled over the first 48 hours after ICU admission and a reference of 20 healthy volunteers.
A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of Niyad (nafamostat mesylate) for anticoagulation of extracorporeal blood circulating through a dialysis filter in patients undergoing CRRT who cannot tolerate heparin or are at higher risk for bleeding.
The ability of bladder urinary partial pressure, measured as a reflection of renal medullary oxygen tension, which is an indicator of the development of acute kidney injury (AKI), to predict the development of AKI at an early stage.
Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent occurrence among liver transplant recipients and results in considerable mortality and morbidity. The delayed increase in plasma creatinine levels and its susceptibility to external influences, which are utilized in the current diagnostic criteria for AKI, contribute to diagnostic delays. Therefore, numerous biomarkers, including KIM-1, NGAL, TIMP-2, and CYSTATIN C in plasma, along with urine partial oxygen pressure levels and NGAL, are currently under examination to identify acute kidney injury at its early stage. It is well-established that the renal medulla is highly susceptible to hypoxia, which may consequently lead to acute kidney injury. A range of studies have also demonstrated that urine partial oxygen pressure is capable of providing valuable insights into the oxygenation state of the renal medulla. Although urine oxygen pressure measurement is not commonly used, unlike blood gas analysis, urine partial oxygen pressure measurement dates back to 1964. Research among cardiopulmonary bypass patients suggests a correlation between urine partial oxygen pressure data and acute kidney injury. Therefore, we hypothesize that monitoring urine partial oxygen pressure levels may offer insight into the development of acute kidney injury in liver transplant recipients.
Descriptive prospective observational study of Incidince of acute kidney injury in children with community acquired pneumonia at assiut university children hospital
the primary objective of this study is to identify and analyze parametrers affecting the time of recovery of AKI in critical ill patient ,Specifically, the study aims to: 1. to identify outcomes of critically ill patients who experienced AKI 2. Examine the relationship between demographic and clinical variables (e.g., age, gender, comorbidities) and outcome of AKI patient 3. follow Baseline characteristics and laboratory findings of the patients at the time of admission to the intensive care unit and affecting it at recovery time 4. Explore the association between psychosocial factors (e.g., depression, anxiety, social support) and outcome of AKI patient at icu
