Filter by:This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study to investigate whether supplemental Nitric Oxide (NO) gas delivered during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) reduces the incidence and impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD), when compared to placebo gas
Approximately 25-35% of all children admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) or neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) will develop Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) during the first seven days after admission. AKI is associated with a worse outcome, including an increased risk of mortality compared to patients without AKI. However, this AKI prevalence estimation is based on serum creatinine based glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which is known to be inaccurate. The investigators postulate that measured GFR (mGFR) based on iohexol clearance in critically ill children will detect a higher prevalence of children with AKI than currently used methods based on endogenous markers. This study will additionally provide mechanistic knowledge on the relative contribution of GFR and renal transport to renal function in critically ill children.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of postsurgery treatment with ASP1128 in subjects at risk for AKI following CABG and/or valve surgery. This study also investigated the safety and tolerability of postsurgery treatment with ASP1128, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of ASP1128 in subjects at risk for AKI following CABG and/or valve surgery.
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious postoperative complication in children with congenital heart disease. In this prospective cohort study, we tested the hypothesis that renal desaturation defined as a 20% decline of renal tissue oxygen saturation (SrtO2) from the baseline value is associated with AKI in infants undergoing ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: Infants aged 1 months to 12 months and scheduled to undergo VSD repair with CPB were eligible. SrtO2 was monitored using a tissue near-infrared spectroscopy. Renal desaturation was defined as a decrease of SrtO2 measurement from the baseline value for more than 20% lasting for more than 60 s. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI on postoperative 1-3 days according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The secondary outcomes included different stages of AKI, duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation, duration of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and in-hospital mortality.
To investigate the influence of preoperative fluid and food intake in cardiac surgery patients on the development of postoperative AKI.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of routine ultrasound assessments of volume status and fluid responsiveness for goal-directed therapy (GDT)-based fluid resuscitation in reducing acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence and duration in trauma patients in a teaching institution.
Infection and sepsis are common after acute kidney injury (AKI) and increase mortality. In this study, the investigators will determine whether patients with acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery have immunosuppression as judged by blood markers of immunoparalysis.
A Randomized controlled trial aiming to investigate whether ascorbic acid has a role in preventing vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity or not in critically ill patients.
The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) during septic shock is frequent and is associated with a high mortality rate. The reason of this increased mortality despite the use of renal replacement therapy is still unknown. The deleterious effects of uremic toxins (solutes accumulating with the loss of kidney function) has risen for the last decade in chronic kidney disease patients. Among those solutes, indoxyl sulfate (IS) is associated with the development of cardiovascular complications and impairment of immune response. The role of uremic toxins and particularly IS in the prognostic of septic kidney injury is unknown. The investigators propose to analyze the relation between the serum concentration of IS and the mortality of patients hospitalized for a septic shock who developed an AKI.
This study was designed to compare the efficacy of BIA and physician adjustment to prevent intradialytic hypotension in patients with acute kidney injury who received renal replacement therapy. The investigators randomized 9 patients with acute kidney injury and volume overloaded who underwent acute hemodialysis for 45 sessions in Vajira hospital between October 2017 and February 2018. In physician adjust-group (control) estimate by physical examination and fluid balance record. Primary outcome was intradialytic hypotensive episode and secondary outcome was hemodialysis-related adverse events and other clinical outcome.
