Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common critical condition with high morbidity and mortality. The level of circulating Galectin-3 (Gal3) largely depends on renal function, so it is elevated in patients with AKI or CKD; elevated Gal3 also aggravates the progression of CKD after the onset of AKI. The proinflammatory and profibrotic properties of Gal3 may render it to be one of the key molecules mediating AKI, CKD, and cardiorenal syndrome. In this prospective observational study, the investigators will explore the differences of Gal3 levels among septic AKI, non-septic AKI, and non-AKI patients and its correlation with prognosis, inflammation, and disease severity in the ICU.

The objective of the study is to collect and process urine samples from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) subjects with moderate to severe (Stage 2 or 3) acute kidney injury (AKI) for use in assessing the effects of urine sample freezing and various storage conditions on NEPHROCLEAR™ CCL14 Test results. This study is observational and will have no impact on the medical management of the subject.

Biomarkers of kidney function in transplant medicine is an international, multicentre, observational, non-interventional study. The project is aimed at monitoring biomarkers of acute kidney dysfunction in deceased organ donors, living organ donors, and organ recipients.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal malignancy of the female genital tract. Cytoreductive surgery combined with chemotherapy is the primary treatment for ovarian cancer, and radical tumor resection is an important means to improve the prognosis. However, even after complete tumor resection, 75% of patients with ovarian cancer still recur within 3 years after the initial treatment and eventually die from recurrence. In ovarian cancer, the lesions are located primarily in the peritoneal cavity. High-grade evidence demonstrates that the use of intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin after cytoreductive surgery significantly improves the outcome in some patients with ovarian cancer. Currently, this is the only non-pharmacologic treatment that reduces both the risk of recurrence and death from ovarian cancer with a multi treatment. However, HIPEC with cisplatin can lead to acute kidney injury, and a serious complication that can seriously affect the short and long-term prognosis of patients. Sodium thiosulfate has previously been reported to reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after HIPEC with cisplatin, but this finding has not been confirmed in a high-level study. Therefore, we propose a multi-center, prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled trial including 110 patients with ovarian cancer who received HIPEC with cisplatin, to evaluate whether sodium thiosulfate combined with hydration (55 patients in the trial group) can reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after HIPEC with cisplatin compared with hydration alone (55 patients in the control group), and to provide high-level evidence for the rationale of using sodium thiosulfate for nephrotoxicity relief in cisplatin HIPEC.

Prismocitrate 18 is a continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) solution to be used as a renal replacement solution and as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting in the extracorporeal circuit. The objective of this study is to confirm the safety of Prismocitrate 18 in patients receiving CRRT using continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) or continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH). The study period of the patient's CRRT will be up to 10 days.

In patients with multiple myeloma-related acute kidney injury, compare the renal outcome of chemotherapy combined with HFR-SUPRA to chemotherapy combined with hemodialysis.

Aimed to determine whether preoperative biomarkers (Mg, Hgb, CRP, ProBNP) would be helpful in the early diagnosis of CSA-AKI (cardiac surgery-related acute kidney injury) in patients undergoing open heart surgery.

Studying the dynamics of red blood cell lysis, pfH, protective proteins and organ injury, limits will be set for safe levels of pfH following the use of CPB. These results will be compared to existing laboratory-based methods for determining red blood cell damage to predict CPB assist device safety. Further, results from the studies described in this proposal will help develop therapeutic strategies to benefit patients by early detection of pfH and clearance protein levels that occur during CPB.

This research is being done to develop materials and processes that will help facilitate education and kidney care coordination for AKI survivors.

Surgical treatment of hip fracture may be complicated by acute kidney injury. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the investigators can find a better biomarker than creatinine to recognize this problem at an earlier stage.
