About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Acute Kidney Failure focused on measuring Renal Replacement Therapy, Diuretics, Biomarkers, Renal Insufficiency, Furosemide, Therapeutic Uses, Physiological Effects of Drugs, Biological Markers

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. 18 yrs or older
  2. increase in serum creatinine of 0.3 mg/dl within 48 hours or an increase of greater than or equal to 150% from baseline or sustained oliguria (UOP < 0.5 cc/kg/hr for 6 hours with the last 48hours)
  3. written informed consent
  4. patients with an indwelling bladder catheter

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Voluntary refusal
  2. Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease - as defined by a baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 30 ml/min (MDRD)
  3. history of renal transplant
  4. Pregnant patients
  5. Allergy / Sensitivity to Loop diuretics (furosemide)
  6. Pre-renal AKI

    • defined by a Fractional Excretion of Sodium (FENa) of < 1% and no urinary casts
    • under-resuscitated as per the treating clinical team
    • active bleed
  7. Post renal AKI

    • evidence of hydro-ureter
    • clinical scenario wherein obstruction is considered a likely possibility

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective is to safely determine if the investigators can identify the severity of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) early in the course of the disease. Once enrolled the investigators will draw blood and urine for novel and standard biomarkers. The investigators are attempting to determine if these biomarkers can forecast the course of AKI (need for dialysis, death and renal recovery). The investigators seek to determine how well physicians caring for those with AKI can predict the clinical course compared to these novel biomarkers of AKI and if there is an association between clinical course and 3 year patient outcomes.
Detailed Description
AKI is a very common disease in the setting of critical illness and carries an extremely high morbidity and mortality rate (over 50%). Currently there are no FDA approved therapeutic agents for the treatment of AKI. There is limited prospective evidence to guide nephrologists in terms of which patients will progress to more severe AKI in the setting of early AKI. Similarly, there is no evidence to guide nephrologists in terms of which patients will completely recover their renal function after AKI. Thus we need to know very early in the course of AKI which patients will progress and go on to require renal replacement therapy (RRT). Additionally we will investigating the long term patient outcomes, 2-3 years after the index AKI admission.
