This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Renal Failure
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Adults ≥ 18 years of age admitted to the intensive care unit New onset acute renal failure (ARF) or ARF superimposed on chronic kidney disease ARF will be defined by a sustained (over 24 hours) increase in serum creatinine > 0.5 mg/dl from baseline Patients will be recruited for the study within 3-5 days following establishment of ARF Exclusion Criteria: Institutionalized patient Previous kidney transplant Pregnancy Unable to obtain consent from subject or legally recognized representative ARF from urinary tract obstruction or a volume responsive pre-renal state. Liver Failure Recent cerebrovascular accident (CVA) Coagulopathy defined as: Platelets < 50, PT > 20, INR > 2.0 if the patient requires the placement of an arterial or venous catheter; if the patient does not require the placement of an arterial or venous catheter for the study, coagulopathy will not be a basis for exclusion.
