Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a major complication which may result in adverse impact on short- and long-term mortality. The investigatorshere developed several prediction models based on machine learning technique to allow early identification of patients who at the high risk of unfavorable kidney outcomes. The retrospective study comprised 2108 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac surgery from January 2017 to December 2020.

The research aimed to predict postoperative acute kidney injury in patients with acute type A aortic dissection preliminarily by exploring the correlation of preoperative cystatin C level and incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury and combining with relevant risk factors.

Observational, retrospective and prospective, multicenter, post-market study of the Tablo Hemodialysis System in hospitalized participants with End-Stage Kidney Disease or Acute Kidney Injury who are prescribed renal replacement therapy > 12 hours.

The Accuryn Registry Study is an open-ended, global, multi-center, retrospective and prospective, single-arm data collection study with an FDA cleared device. The target population are cardiovascular surgery patients. Physiologic data measurements will be collected from enrolled subjects using electronic medical records and data streams via the Accuryn Monitoring System.

To validate Urinary Biomarkers for the prediction of AKI in major abdominal surgery patients

The purpose of study is to compare the incidence of acute kidney injury in patients receiving perioperative dexmedetomidine or placebo undergoing valvular heart surgery.

This study aims to investigate the predictive value of novel biomarkers and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for early detection of abdominal end-organ (kidney and intestinum) hypoperfusion and ischemia in patients undergoing endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for aortic aneurysm or dissection. In this context, patients will be monitored for renal biomarkers (TIMP-2, IGFBP7) and intestinal biomarkers (plasmatic intestinal fatty acid binding protein (i-FABP)) and local tissue perfusion will be assessed using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). The ultimate goal of this study is an early identification of patients developing one or both of these complications, which may facilitate a timely intervention to improve outcome.

Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery is a major complication after cardiac surgery and has been reported to be associated with adverse outcome. There have been many studies reporting risk factor of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery, but the influence of perioperative variables related to anesthesia and perioperative medication has not been evaluated fully. The investigators attempt to evaluate the influence of perioperative clinical variables including preoperative medication, preoperative albumin level, uric acid concentration, anesthesia technique, use of hydroxyethyl starch, blood glucose level, intraoperative medication, perioperative cardiac function (systolic and diastolic function) and hemodynamic variables during surgery on the incidence of acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass graft.

Generally, a contrast medium is used when performing a CT scan or radiographic tests such as angiography because it heightens image clarity and can increase diagnosis accuracy. Despite these advantages, contrast media can cause allergic reactions in the body or a decline in renal function. Therefore, they should be handled carefully and explained sufficiently to the patient. For intensive care patients, the use of contrast agents has been revealed as a major cause of acute renal damage, and many studies have investigated this complication by examining incidence rates and prevention strategies. Hypothesis: Among intensive care patients, the group in which a contrast medium was used will have a higher risk of renal function decline compared with the group in which a contrast medium was not used, and, hence, the use of contrast media becomes a cause of renal function deterioration. Categorizing patients with renal function decline according to the new RIFLE criteria can have an association with the prognosis of intensive care patients, such as hospitalization period and death rate, which can promote faster intervention.
