Filter by:Prospective, randomized, sham-controlled clinical study was conducted to assess whether RIPC reduces the incidence of CI-AKI measured standard way of using SCr concentration but also with the use of serum NGAL as a new potential biomarker of kidney injury. Furthermore, the aim of investigation was to analyse the safety and clinical outcomes of RIPC after elective coronary angiography (CA) followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The assessment of renal functional reserve (RFR) has been proposed for the risk stratification of patients undergoing potentially nephrotoxic procedures. The investigators hypothesized that there is a correlation between IRRIV and RFR under normal conditions. For this purpose, externally validation of IRRIV test is performed in a validation cohort of healthy subjects.
The assessment of renal functional reserve (RFR) has been proposed for the risk stratification of patients undergoing potentially nephrotoxic procedures. The present pilot study is designed to explore the correlation between IRRIV and RFR under pathologic conditions.
In a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, all patients undergoing coronary artery catheterization who will met our criteria, will be enrolled into three groups to receive either, vitamin e, n-acetylcysteine, or placebo. The aim of study will be to compare the superiority of vitamin e over n-acetylcysteine for the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI).
The presence or development of AKI impacts on outcomes in patients presenting with acute conditions to the ED. As a result, treating physicians are often concerned with the risk of AKI and take such risk in consideration when making subsequent therapeutic and diagnostic decisions which may result in delaying or withholding therapeutic measures in order to prevent further kidney damage (i.e. avoid imaging studies with contrast media). If clinicians could be informed early that a patient is at minimal risk for AKI, they could deploy timely and optimal diagnostic and treatment procedures for the underlying disease of the patient without major concerns for causing or exacerbating kidney damage
The prospective single-center study investigates the association between changes in Doppler-derived renal venous flow and cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI).
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common disease, but diagnosis is usually delayed or missed in hospitalized patients. The automated electronic alert for AKI may help to improve the outcomes of these patients through identifying all cases of AKI early. Therefore, the investigators conduct a randomly controlled study to test whether automated electronic alert for AKI could improve the outcomes of hospitalized patients.
This study aims to determine changes in kidney function during and after critical illness, comparing conventional creatinine based methods with the gold standard to accurately establish the presence of new or worsened chronic kidney disease. In addition, investigators will assess the confounding effect of muscle wasting on the conventional assessment of kidney function and investigate the information that measures of kidney function may contribute to the assessment of musculoskeletal health after critical illness.
Ischemic acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is one of the main cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in intensive care units (ICU). Sepsis and cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) are major providers. There is no validated tool to predict the evolution of AKI is ICU. Furosemide Stress Test (FST) may predict evolution of ATN-related AKI outside ICU in terms of progressive AKI, need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) or inpatient mortality with improved performance comparing to biomarkers. FST has not been validated in a prospective cohort in ICU in the settings of ischemic ATN. FURTHER aim to determine whether FST would be a useful tool to identify patients with slight to moderate AKI (KDIGO stage 1 and 2) who will evolve towards need for RRT following AKIKI (The Artificial Kidney Initiation in Kidney Injury ) delayed initiation criteria.
Acute kidney injury is associated with increased short-term and long-term morbidity and mortality. Long-term data is lacking in low to middle-income countries. Our study aims to follow the acute kidney injury patients stage 3 in intensive care units for 2 years to observe mortality and associated factors.
