Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of hospitalization for acute kidney injury among patients with type 2 diabetes who are new initiators of Saxagliptin and those who are new initiators of other oral antidiabetic drugs in classes other than Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) inhibitors.

ARF is a frequent event after hepatic resection and therefore clinically highly relevant. There is limited evidence on the incidence of postoperative ARF and its clinical relevance in patients undergoing liver resection. This study will evaluate the incidence of acute renal failure (ARF) after liver resection and its impact on postoperative mortality.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether acute renal failure is associated with BK virus reactivation in postoperative/posttraumatic critically ill patients with severe SIRS/sepsis and shock.

The aim of this study was to apply the acute kidney injury criteria based on KDIGO classification in a population of patients undergoing cardiac surgery [coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or cardiac valve surgery (CVS)] and evaluate its impact as a predictor of 30-day mortality.

Determination of the concentration of uremic toxins of sepsis patients with or without acute kidney failure compared to the concentrations of uremic toxins of chronically uremic patients

Acute kidney injury is one of major adverse postoperative complications. research about postoperative acute kidney injury conclude that low preoperative albumin and intraoperative hypotension is associated to postoperative acute kidney injury. However, due to ethic issue and nonlinear realtionship between these factors and postoperative acute kidney injury, the exact threshold of these two risk factors were not be able to identified. The research tried to locate the exact threshold with implementation of penalized splines by generalized additive model.

Acute renal injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with worse outcomes. Hypotension is an important risk factor for the development of AKI after noncardiac surgery. However, the association between intraoperative hypotension and AKI after cardiac surgery has not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study is to analyze the association between intraoperative hypotension and acute kidney injury after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious postoperative complication in children with congenital heart disease. In this prospective cohort study, we tested the hypothesis that renal desaturation defined as a 20% decline of renal tissue oxygen saturation (SrtO2) from the baseline value is associated with AKI in infants undergoing ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: Infants aged 1 months to 12 months and scheduled to undergo VSD repair with CPB were eligible. SrtO2 was monitored using a tissue near-infrared spectroscopy. Renal desaturation was defined as a decrease of SrtO2 measurement from the baseline value for more than 20% lasting for more than 60 s. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI on postoperative 1-3 days according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The secondary outcomes included different stages of AKI, duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation, duration of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and in-hospital mortality.

The presence or development of AKI impacts on outcomes in patients presenting with acute conditions to the ED. As a result, treating physicians are often concerned with the risk of AKI and take such risk in consideration when making subsequent therapeutic and diagnostic decisions which may result in delaying or withholding therapeutic measures in order to prevent further kidney damage (i.e. avoid imaging studies with contrast media). If clinicians could be informed early that a patient is at minimal risk for AKI, they could deploy timely and optimal diagnostic and treatment procedures for the underlying disease of the patient without major concerns for causing or exacerbating kidney damage

The investigators aimed to evaluate the association between the duration and stage of acute kidney injury (AKI) and the development of chronic kidney disease during postoperative three years in patients undergoing cardiac or thoracic aortic surgery.
