Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

Critically ill patients are at high risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI). Lithium is freely filtrated at the glomerulus and almost completely reabsorbed in the proximal tubule, which provides a quantitative estimation of proximal tubule reabsorption. We hypothesized that endogenous lithium reabsorption is impaired in the early stages of critical illness. We would like to study 10 ICU patients with AKI diagnosed, 10 patients without AKI, and 10 healthy controls. Blood and urine samples will be obtained at 08:00, 14:00 and 20:00 during one day. Renal clearance of creatinine (CCr) and lithium will be calculated.

The aims of this study will be to identify the clinical characteristics, the management and the outcomes of acute kidney injury in patients with cirrhosis worldwide. Specific aims: To establish the severity of AKI across different regions To identify precipitants of AKI across different centers To identify the phenotypes of AKI across different centers To evaluate differences in the management of AKI across different centers and their impact on clinical outcomes To assess outcomes of acute kidney injury (resolution of AKI, in-hospital mortality, 28-day mortality, 90-day mortality)

To assess the performance of the Nova Max Creatinine and eGFR assay in the hands of CLIA-Waived Point-of-Care users in at least three (3) distinct Point-of-Care clinical settings on venous, and capillary blood and compare the performance characteristics to a traceable laboratory reference method (the Siemens EXL creatinine determination). To assess the Ease of Use of the Nova Max Creatinine and eGFR Meter System in the hands of the intended CLIA-Waived Point-of-Care users.

The purpose of this study was to quantify overall blood flow and renal cortical perfusion in patients with septic acute kidney injury (AKI) using ultrasound (US) Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been traditionally defined as an abrupt loss of kidney function leading to a rapid decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), accumulation of waste products such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, and dysregulation of extracellular volume and electrolyte homeostasis . Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a very common condition, especially among hospitalized patients. this work aims to study the demographics, etiology, clinical characteristics, and outcome of acute kidney injury in children in Sohag University Hospital - Pediatrics Department.

2015 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines have proposed the combination of Ampicillin and Cloxacillin for initial empirical treatment of infective endocarditis in acute severely ill patients (before pathogen identification). Yet this combination has never been studied in clinical trials. High dose penicillin treatments are associated with a risk of nephrotoxicity. The investigator's primary purpose is to describe patients treated with high dose Amoxicillin and Cloxacillin combination and to evaluate its renal tolerance.

The goal of this study is to analyse the relation of severe acute kidney injury post cardiac surgery which characterised by the need of renal replacement therapy, with in-hospital postoperative mortality incidence. The main question it aims to answer: To compare between patients complicated with acute kidney injury and exposure of renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) and patients complicated with acute kidney injury which does not require renal replacement therapy, in associated with in-hospital postoperative mortality.

Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of levosimendan and its metabolites in intensive care patients with normal, reduced and dialysis supported renal function.

The aim of the study is to assess the common risk factors for development of hospital acquired acute kidney injury among hospitalized patients in Alexandria Main University hospital and their outcomes.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the changes in gene expression in blood immune cells in after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.The main question it aims to answer is: What specific gene expression changes predict kidney damage after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Participants received conventional treatment.
