Furosemide Stress Test Guiding Initiation of Renal Replacement Therapy
Acute Kidney Injury
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Kidney Injury focused on measuring Acute kidney injury, Furosemide stress test, critical care
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age older than 18 years old and admission in an ICU
- Acute kidney injury (defined by serum creatinine increase ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or urine output ≤ 0.5 mL/kg/hour according to KDIGO criteria)
- Informed consent provided by the patient or person with decisional responsibility
- Indwelling bladder catheter
- Documented cause of acute kidney injury from acute tubular necrosis e.g. presence of granular or epithelial casts on urine sediment, FeNa more than 1%, Feurea more than 50%, urine or plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) more than 150 mg/dL
- Opinion of the treating clinical team that patient was well resuscitated and sufficiently clinically stable for the intervention or by noninvasive or invasive measurements i.e. fluid accumulation at least 5% plus at least one of the following e.g. chest radiography, central venous pressure ≥ 8 mmHg, pulse pressure variation < 13%, inferior vena cava collapsibility index < 50% in spontaneously breathing patients or distensibility index < 18% in mechanically ventilated patients
Exclusion Criteria:
- Baseline serum creatinine ≥ 2 mg/dL (male) and ≥ 1.5 mg/dL (female) within 3 months
- Evidence of volume depletion at the time of furosemide administration or active bleeding
- Evidence of obstructive uropathy, renal vein thrombosis or renal artery stenosis, thrombotic microangiopathy, glomerulonephritis, tumor lysis syndrome
- History of renal allograft
- Known pregnancy
- Allergy or known sensitivity to loop diuretics
- Need for emergency renal replacement therapy at randomization or evaluation by the clinical team that the renal replacement therapy should be deferred
- Patient is moribund with expected death within 24 hr or whom survival to 28 days is unlikely due to an uncontrollable comorbidity (cardiac, pulmonary or hepatic end-stage disease; hepatorenal syndrome; poorly controlled cancer; severe post-anoxic encephalopathy; etc.)
- Patients with advance directives issued expressing the desire not to be resuscitated
- Prior treatment with RRT within 30 days

Placebo Comparator
Early renal replacement therapy
Conventional renal replacement therapy
Dialysis with continuous renal replacement therapy machine e.g. Aquarius, Prismaflex, Infomed, starting within 12 hours after randomization Patients will receive standard treatments such as anti-bacterial agents, mechanical ventilator, vasopressors as appropriate
Dialysis with continuous renal replacement therapy machine e.g. Aquarius, Prismaflex, Infomed, after the patients reached at least one of the following criteria; pH < 7.15 or serum HCO3 < 15 mEq/L serum K >= 6 mEq/L Signs of volume overload or P/F ratio < 200 BUN > 60 mg/dL Patients will receive standard treatments such as anti-bacterial agents, mechanical ventilator, vasopressors as appropriate
