Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

This study will investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing EVAR under general anesthesia

The SCD PED-02 trial is examining the safety and efficacy of the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) in treating pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI promotes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) which results in systemic microvascular damage and, if severe, multi-organ dysfunction. Activated circulating leukocytes play a central role in this process. The SCD is a synthetic membrane with the ability to bind activated leukocytes and, when used in a continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) extracorporeal circuit in the presence of regional citrate anticoagulation, modulates inflammation. The SCD PED-02 study will test the primary hypothesis that up to ten sequential 24-hour SCD treatments in pediatric patients with AKI will be completed safely and improve survival compared to historical controls who received CRRT alone.

In our study, to show the effect of pneumoperitoneum on acute kidney injury in patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery, NGAL and IGF-1 values will be measured before, after and 24 hours after pneumoperitoneum, and these values will be compared. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of pneumoperitoneum applied on acute kidney injury in patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery. Creatinine and NGAL have been used successfully in the follow-up of acute kidney injury. Our study investigates whether IGF-1 will be an effective indicator in acute kidney injury by comparing IGF-1 and NGAL values before pneumoperitoneum, after pneumoperitoneum and at the postoperative 24th hour.

The objective of the EQUODIA study is to evaluate the hemodynamic stability of hemodialysis with low dialysate flow in patients requiring emergency hemodialysis in the context of acute kidney injury or unscheduled end-stage renal disease, not in intensive care, compared to conventional triweekly high-flow hemodialysis. Short daily hemodialysis has excellent hemodynamic tolerance, which has already been confirmed by clinical experience. This modality, commonly used in the patient's home through new machines allowing a low dialysate flow purification technique, can prove to be an innovative, effective and safe alternative for patients admitted for hemodialysis in an unscheduled situation (acute kidney injury, unscheduled end-stage renal disease not followed). Up to now, no studies have evaluated the use of short daily hemodialysis with low dialysate flow in patients with acute kidney injury or unscheduled end-stage renal disease, requiring the initiation of emergency extra-renal purification.

To evaluate the percentage of subjects with AKI within 7 days following on-pump cardiac surgery defined by the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria: Increase in baseline (pre-surgery) serum creatinine (SCr) by ≥26.5 μmol/L (≥0.3 mg/dL) within 7 days; OR Increase in baseline SCr to ≥1.5 times baseline, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the first 7 days following surgery; OR Urine output < 0.5 mL/kg/h for >6 hours.

We aim from this study to investigate the role of renal resistance index (RRI) in evaluation of Acute kidney injury development and fluid administration in sepsis patients considering the change in RRI values over 7 days from admission as a predictor of AKI development

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common diagnosis in the emergency department (ED), and urinary tract obstruction is a contributing cause that requires rapid diagnosis and therapeutic management. This observational study aims at assessing the accuracy of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), performed by the emergency physician (EP) for the detection of dilatation or distension of the kidney secondary to urinary tract obstruction, in emergency department patients presenting with acute kidney injury (AKI). Participants will undergo a bedside POCUS of the urinary tract by the EP followed by central imaging evaluation by a radiologist (either ultrasound or renal computed tomography (CT) or both). Researchers will compare both diagnosis. Study hypothesis is that trained emergency physicians can rapidly and reliably diagnose renal tract obstruction at POCUS in the context of AKI.

The main aim of this project is to elucidate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia during stay in the Pediatric intensive care unit. (PICU). This patient group often presents with severe circulatory and respiratory dysfunction requiring intensive care treatment. Characterization of risk factors to AKI will also be performed.

Acute renal failure is a frequent complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality in postoperative cardiac surgery. The VExUS (Venous Excess UltraSound grading system) score was created to qualitatively assess this venous congestion, based on ultrasound data from patients obtained post operatively in cardiac surgery. These data included: inferior vena cava diameter, Doppler flow of the suprahepatic veins, portal trunk and renal veins. This score is predictive of the onset of acute renal failure in the first 3 days after surgery. The VExUS score has not been validated in an external and prospective way in cardiac surgery.

The study aims to identify the preoperative parameters associated with the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (in particular the parameters of the SPARK score) in patients of the Besançon University Hospital who have undergone digestive or vascular surgery.
