Filter by:Aim of the study is to determinate the frequency of acute renal failure in COVID-19 patients, its relationship with the severity of COVID-19 disease in ICU, and the ability to take precautions against these factors.
This study aims to compare the volume management methods performed by using conventional method and PVI monitoring in intraoperative fluid treatment during bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and total hysterectomy operation.
Liver transplantation is associated with a modification of the perfusion pressures of the abdominal organs (preoperative portal hypertension in connection with liver pathology, and normalization of the perfusion pressures during surgery). This abrupt change in the infusion regime is probably responsible for an alteration in renal function in some patients, and the identification of renal vascular profiles using Doppler could point to pathological profiles, which should be diagnosed early.
Renal replacement therapy may affect carbon dioxide elimination, which may theoretically influence measurement of energy expenditure by means of indirect calorimetry. However, available clinical studies are noct conclusive on this issue. This observational study aims to investigate the effect of renal replacement therapy on indirect calorimetry in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) impose a significant global health burden. Yet, no effective therapies currently exist for AKI, and only a few are available for CKD. Despite significant effort from industry and academia, development of pharmacologic therapies for AKI and CKD has been hampered by: Non-predictive animal models The inability to identify and prioritize human targets The limited availability of human kidney biopsy tissue A poor understanding of AKI and CKD heterogeneity Historically, AKI and CKD have been described as single, uniform diseases. However, growing consensus suggests that different disease pathways lead to different subgroups of AKI and CKD (AKIs and CKDs). Access to human kidney biopsy tissue is a critical first step to define disease heterogeneity and determine the precise molecular pathways that will facilitate identification of specific drug targets and ultimately enable individualized care for people with AKI and CKD. A number of research centers across the United States are collaborating to bring state-of-the-art technologies together to: - Ethically obtain and evaluate kidney biopsies from participants with AKI or CKD - Define disease subgroups - Create a kidney tissue atlas - Identify critical cells, pathways, and targets for novel therapies The KPMP is made up of three distinct, but highly interactive, activity groups: - Recruitment Sites: The recruitment sites (RS) are responsible for recruiting participants with AKI or CKD into the longitudinal study and performing the kidney biopsy. - Tissue Interrogation Sites: The tissue interrogation sites (TIS) are responsible for developing and using innovative technologies to analyze the biopsy tissue. - Central Hub: The central hub is responsible for aggregating, analyzing, and visualizing the generated data and providing scientific, infrastructure, and administrative support for the KPMP consortium.
Pre-market, single-arm, prospective, open-label, multi-center clinical trial aimed at assessing the safety and the performance of the Medyria TrackCath system in patients undergoing endovascular intervention.
The investigators designed a monitoring and control table of a citrate treatment on a specific monitor. This is the Baxter "Prismaflex" monitor, with 8.2 software version. Dialysis bath liquids marketed by Baxter: Biphozyl are used. Citrate liquid (1:18) Regiocit is used. The dialysis treatment monitor (CVVHD) is programmed, with a blood / citrate pumps at a rate of 1:10 (1 ml / min of blood: 10 ml / h of dialysis fluid) The starting dose of citrate will be 3.5 mmol / l and the calcium compensation will be 100% Working hypothesis: The patient undergoing citrate anticoagulation according to the designed algorithm will respond with ion stability and pH during the treatment, in addition to achieving an effective cleaning process.
The aim of the study are: 1) To evaluate the occurrence of acid-base alterations and the incidence of hypophosphatemia during different modalities of Renal Replacement Terapy (RRT) in critically ill patients [CVVH, CVVHDF and SLED (Sustained Low-Efficiency Dialysis)] by using a simplified Regional Citrate Anticoagulation (RCA) protocol combined with the adoption of a phosphate-containing solution as dialysate and/or replacement fluid; 2) To optimize the infusion rates of different solutions adopted, including citrate, in order to obtain an appropriate electrolyte and buffer supply. The final aim of this approach will be to reduce the need for frequent monitoring of acid-base status and electrolytes (with special regard to ionized calcium levels), and to avoid the need for frequent adjustments of RCA-RRT parameters (infusion rate of different solutions, electrolytes supplementation in the course of RRT). This approach could allow to simplify anticoagulation protocols with citrate, in order to minimize potential concerns hampering a wider diffusion of RCA in daily practice.
Patients with Sepsis / Septic Shock and AKI are submitted to Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy with the oXiris filter . The pro- inflammatory mediators , the endotoxin , interleukin 10 , the main cardiorespiratory indices and renal parameters are evaluated at the entry of the study and at the end of the treatment.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a frequent and important complication to cardiac surgery. This study will evaluate the diagnostic ability of ultrasonographic measures of blood flow in kidneys and liver in predicting AKI after cardiac surgery.
