Filter by:This study is to assess the benefits of goal-directed fluid management with ACUMEN in cardiac surgical patients and its impact on cardiac surgery-induced kidney injury.
The aim of this study is to identify the incidence and the factors associated with acute kidney injury in adult poly trauma patients
Cancer is the second most frequent cause of premature death in children. The incidence of pediatric cancer varies by region and country, but it is generally considered rare with an estimated 300,000 new cases diagnosed worldwide. Acute kidney injury in pediatric cancer patients refers to the sudden and often temporary loss of renal function, which can lead to a variety of complications if not treated correctly.
Acute kidney injury is associated with worsened outcome for critically ill patients. Sepsis-associated and non-septic cardiothoracic surgery associated AKI have been reported, nonetheless, precise pathomechanistic differences as well as detectability of transcriptional and proteomic changes in correlation with imaging and plasma markers are unclear.
Intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) and continuous RRT (CRRT) provided as continuous hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration are the main RRT modalities in ICU. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing IHD and CRRT for AKI have not shown an indisputable benefit of one technique over the other. However, these studies were conducted more than 15 years ago. In addition, several recent RCTs on RRT initiation strategies have completely modified both knowledge and practice of RRT initiation. The main objective is to evaluate whether IHD is not inferior to CRRT with regard to overall incidence of a composite outcome of death, persistent renal dysfunction and dialysis dependency at day 90 in critically ill patients with severe AKI (Major Kidney Event 90, MAKE 90). The primary endpoint will be the proportion of patients who will meet one or more criteria for a major adverse kidney event 90 days after randomization (MAKE90). The MAKE will be the composite of death, renal replacement therapy dependence and/or an increase in serum creatinine above 25% of its basal value. This is a non-inferiority multicenter open-label randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups. Randomization will take place 1:1 to 2 groups: a group receiving IHD and a group receiving CRRT. Randomization will be stratified according to center, dose of vasopressor and cumulative fluid balance from ICU admission. Treatment will be initiated and monitored by the physician responsible for patient. Whatever the group, investigators will follow recommendations to achieve optimal metabolic control and hemodynamic stability. The investigators plan to include 1000 patients.
Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has been proposed as a potential diagnostic tool to monitor the rejection status of the kidney transplant. It has been suggested that dd-cfDNA is increasing in the blood of kidney transplant patient presenting a graft rejection. In this project, investigators proposed a different approach to predict and characterize kidney transplant rejection/dysfunction based on the quantification of epigenetic signatures present on the donor-cell-free DNA. In 2018, Moss et al. develops a deconvolution model capable of identifying the tissue origin of circulating DNA by taking advantage of its epigenetic properties. The study confirmed that the cell-free DNA circulating in healthy subjects comes mainly from blood cells and endothelial cells, but not from kidney cells. In this study, researchers investigate the evolution of blood renal-specific cell-free DNA amount in patient with chronic kidney disease before and after the transplantation surgery by testing a set of renal-specific epigenetic markers. The purpose of this study is to identify the biological noise of "native kidney" on renal-specific cell-free DNA and to compare it with signal coming from "transplanted kidney".
We want to measure the amount of a hormone called renin in people's bodies before and after they have major abdominal surgery. We want to see if changes in renin levels are connected to problems with blood flow, unstable blood pressure, and kidney damage after surgery.
1. Evaluate Inferior Vena Cava Indices (Diameters , IVC-CI)&carotid doppler measurements (corrected Carotid Flow Time ,Carotid Blood Flow ,Carotid Artery Peak Velocity Variations) as Non-Invasive Technique for volume guided management in AKI Patient. 2. Estimate correlation between IVC (Diameters , IVC-CI) & carotid doppler measurements (corrected Carotid Flow Time ,Carotid Blood Flow ,Carotid Artery Peak Velocity Variations) as Non-Invasive Technique for volume guided management in AKI Patient.
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.
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?'
