Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the mechanism by which kidney dysfunction perpetuates inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism (PICS) in chronic critical illness. The investigators will test the hypothesis that persistent kidney dysfunction in sepsis associated by chronic critical illness contributes to decreased survival through the development of PICS. In chronic critical illness, the persistence of the inflammatory state may lead to capillary rarefication in the kidney causing accelerated chronic kidney disease. Progression of chronic kidney disease during chronic critical illness can drive PICS. Indeed, many of the features of chronic critical illness are consistent with the protein-energy malnutrition and muscle wasting associated with chronic kidney disease. Thus, the kidney can play a contributory role in chronic critical illness and PICS.


Clinical Trial Description

The main goal of this project is to measure kidney filtration function at day 14 or the day of discharge from hospital (whichever occurs first), in order to determine the presence and magnitude of persistent kidney dysfunction after sepsis episode and to longitudinally assess further decline of kidney function at one year follow-up. The measure of the glomerular filtration rate (GRF) in patients with chronic critical illness and controls (sepsis patients discharged from ICU before day 14) will be used to determine to what degree of kidney dysfunction contributes to decreased survival and increase in chronic kidney disease at year one after sepsis onset. One and/or all of the three ways for GFR assessment will be used, both at approximately day 14 or approximately at the day of discharge from the ICU and at the one year follow up : 1. Determine clearance of Iohexol from blood after Iohexol injection and/or 2. Determine apperance of Iohexol in urine after Iohexol injection (this would be the same injection as in one, and would not require two injections) and/or 3. A timed urine collection to determine clearance of urea and creatinine and/or 4. Estimated GFR using calculations with serum creatinine and cystatin C, This will provide an opportunity to validate the different measurements. ;
