Hannover Dialysis Outcome Study

Acute Kidney Failure

Mortality rates of patients with acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit have changed little over the past few decades despite significant advances in supportive care. Few interventions have been shown to result in an improvement of in-hospital mortality of these patients, with dose of renal replacement therapy (RRT) being one of the most important. Patients undergoing continuous veno-venous hemofiltration had better outcomes with ultrafiltration rates of 35 mL/kg/h or 45 mL/kg/h than those treated at a rate of 20 mL/kg/h. In a different trial, intermittent hemodialysis on a daily basis resulted in better control of uremia, fewer hypotensive episodes during dialysis, and more rapid resolution of acute renal failure than thrice weekly hemodialysis. In the present study we examine survival and renal recovery in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury that are treated with a currently recommended (standard) dose of RRT, and patients that receive intensified RRT.

Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalins (NGAL) and Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney DiseasesCKD5 more

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and because no specific treatment is available, early acknowledgment is needed. The incidence of AKI and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been increasing over time but it is not until the past decade there is an understanding of a bidirectional nature between AKI and CKD, where AKI predisposes to CKD and vice versa. The criteria for diagnosing AKI is through serum creatinine (sCr) and/or urine output. As detection of sCr-increases are delayed by 48-72 hours it is not an optimal biomarker for early recognition of AKI. In contrast the biomarker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has shown to predict AKI within 12h of critical disease or postoperative, and without the requirement of prior measurements for comparison. The purpose of the project is to investigate if the relatively new biomarker NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin), which is known to be able to detect AKI in an early phase, can be used to detect development of CKD and potential future hospital admissions in a relatively large and diverse cohort of patients admitted to the Acute Emergency Department at North Zealand Hospital. The study is designed as a longitudinal prospective study where there is an enrollment estimation of 3600 unselected patients over one year. Blood tests will be taken when admitted and thereafter every day for the first week and subsequently every once a week throughout hospitalization. Patients that are sent home the same day, will still be included in the study but without further NGAL analyses.

Renal Outcome in Patients With COVID-19

Acute Kidney InjuryCorona Virus Infection

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is reported to occur in 0.5-9% of severe acute respiratory distress coronavirus 2-positive patients and AKI has been identified as an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality. The present study aims to investigate the incidence of renal outcome of in-hospital patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Risk Factors and Machine Learning Model for Proton Pump Inhibitor Related Acute Kidney Injury

Proton Pump InhibitorAcute Kidney Injury

Recent evidence concerns acute kidney injury (AKI) following proton pump inhibitor (PPI) application. Few actual studies have compared the incidence, risk factors, and predictive models of AKI associated with PPI. The present study was a single-center retrospective study. The researchers retrospectively analyzed data from patients who received PPI medications between January 2018 and December 2020. PPI drugs included omeprazole, esomeprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole. The primary outcome of the study was AKI, as defined by kidney disease: improving global outcomes (KDIGO). Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay, hospital costs, and continuous renal replacement therapy. Independent risk factors associated with AKI were identified by univariate analysis and multifactorial logistic regression analysis (P < 0.05). Logistic regression models were constructed based on the variables obtained from the analysis. Internal validation of the model was performed by the ten-fold cross-validation method. Model discriminatory power was assessed by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The study aims to develop a PPI-related AKI prediction model based on an electronic medical record system that can be used to predict AKI in hospitalized patients and contribute to the early prevention, diagnosis and treatment of AKI, ultimately reducing morbidity and improving prognosis.

Hepatorenal SyndromeCirrhosis4 more

Point-of-care echocardiography (POC-Echo) is used to determine left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), inferior vena cava (IVC) dynamics and volume status in cirrhosis and Acute-on-chronic liver failure ACLF accurately. We will assess IVC dynamics, LV systolic function [LV ejection fraction (EF) & cardiac output (CO)], and diastolic dysfunction (E/e', e' and E/A ratio) and urinary biomarkers (cystatin C and NGAL) in patients with cirrhosis and ACLF with hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI).

The Effect of Human Recombinant Erythropoietin in Acute Renal Failure

Acute Kidney Injury

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of erythropoietin when used in high dose during acute kidney injury can decrease the number of days of kidney injury.

Acute Kidney Injury

The risk for postoperative acute kidney injury (pAKI), as for any other postoperative complications (PC), comes from a number of interactions between a patient's health before surgery, strength to tolerate surgery and influences on the operating room environment. At this time doctors do not have good tools to predict which patients may be at risk of having this complication. The purpose of this research study is to develop a urine test that can be used to predict the risk for having problems with kidney function after major surgery.
