Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex disorder with clinical manifestations ranging from mild dysfunction to complete anuric kidney failure. Its leads to sudden and rapid decline in renal excretory function within hours to days,accompanied by accumulation of nitrogenous waste products such creatinine,urea and other clinically un measured products

The aim of this study is to investigate i) whether two biomarkers (urine NAG, urinary cystatin C) could be predictive factor in patient with liver cirrhosis, , and ii) whether these biomarkers can predict response of terlipressin.

To determine whether MALDI, a type of Mass-Spectometry, can use protein pattern detection within urine to predict postoperative (after an operation) kidney damage in adults who have undergone emergency hip fracture surgery?

Acute kidney injury is a common complication of critical illness and is associated with high morbidity and mortality .Acute kidney injury is a syndrome that is characterized by a rapid decline in renal function and urine output, resulting in retention of waste products such as urea, nitrogen, and serum creatinine. Life-threatening consequences include volume overload, hyperkalaemia, and metabolic acidosis . In its severe form, Acute kidney injury requires renal replacement therapy, which is applied in 5±13% of Intensive Care Unit patients

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common complication in patients after cardiac surgery. An usual estimation of risk for AKI is estimation of serum creatinine, which is unreliable indicator of AKI risk. Because of that, today different biomarkers are investigated to predict incidence for development AKI after cardiac surgery. This investigation will try to find potentially risk patients for developing AKI after cardiac surgery by using conventional markers (creatinine, glomerular filtration rate) in perioperative period comparing with two different biomarkers neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) which are proven markers in patients with increased risk for AKI development.

Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Prolonged Neurosurgical Operations

The primary objective of the study aims to evaluate frequence of acute renal insufficiency in patients with ST-segment elevation who need urgent coronary angiography in Ambroise Paré hospital. The secondary objectives are: identify factors of risks associated with the occurrence of acute renal insufficiency after coronarography. establish a preprocedure score, predicting of acute renal insufficiency after urgent coronary angiography in patients with ST+ acute coronary syndrome.

Early recognition of AKI is essential to ensure prompt and appropriate management, and to avoid progression to late stages of the disease (2) AKI requiring renal replacement therapy occurs in 5-6% of ICU patients, with an extremely high in hospital mortality rate of 60%.6 It is estimated that about 2 million people die of AKI every year. Those who survive AKI have a higher risk for later development of CKD(3). Epidemiology of AKI is understudied in developing countries so further studies are needed to estimate the burden of AKI among ICU patients. Few studies about the epidemiology of AKI in Egypt were done;

The study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of urinary indices in differentiating pre-renal and renal acute kidney injury among critically ill patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between pre-existing microalbuminuria and contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) following coronary angiography (CAG).
