Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

Hypothesis: Cystatin C compared with creatinine is a better and earlier marker of contrast-induced nephropathy in high and intermedium risk cardiac catheterization patients. Primary Objective: Establish if Cystatin C is superior detecting contrast-induced nephropathy than creatinine in high and intermedium risk cardiac catheterization patients.

The purpose of this study is evaluate clinical outcomes and 30-day mortality after on-pump CABG.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether renal team involvement early at the onset of kidney injury will prevent further developement of more severe renal failure and worse hospitalization outcomes.

Measuring novel proteins in the urine of surgical patients that can be used to diagnose impending acute or chronic renal failure.

The purpose of this trial is to study the use of nesiritide in thoracic aneurysm repair to prevent acute renal failure. The study hypothesis: Nesiritide, given prophylactically prior to surgery may prevent acute renal failure requiring dialysis and/or decrease mortality.

This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of Hospital-acquired Acute Kidney Injury in Hospital Selayang, a tertiary hospital at Malaysia, over 15 years.

The assessment of renal functional reserve (RFR) has been proposed for the risk stratification of patients undergoing potentially nephrotoxic procedures. The present pilot study is designed to explore the correlation between IRRIV and RFR under pathologic conditions.

Patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraoperative chemotherapy (CRS with HIPEC) are prone to postoperative kidney dysfunction. Previous models predicting kidney injury after CRS with HIPEC did not include intraoperative physiologic data. This study is designed to include not only mean arterial pressure but other parameters such as systolic, diastolic arterial pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, body temperature, cardiac index, stroke volume variation and many other physical parameters using a data collection system that can record them every 1-7 seconds. The data will be analyzed using machine learning algorithms.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the ability of early discrimination between transient and persistent Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) using the color Doppler Ultrasound derived Renal Resistive Index (RI) and semi-quantitative evaluation of intra-renal vascularization in septic patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: Prospective observational cohort study with unselected, with 32 adult consecutive septic patients. Patients were divided into 3 groups: Group 1: patients without progression to AKI, Group 2: transient AKI, Group 3: persistent AKI.

The purpose of this observational study is to measure the number of calories delivered from fluids used in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We are doing this research study because the fluids used in this treatment may deliver an important number of calories. In the future this could help better estimate how much nutrition patients in the Critical Care Unit should get every day from other sources like tube feeding or nutrition through a person's veins.
