Active clinical trials for "Acute Kidney Injury"

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study to investigate whether supplemental Nitric Oxide (NO) gas delivered during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) reduces the incidence and impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD), when compared to placebo gas

Researchers are trying to determine which dialysis solution, low bicarbonate fluid (22 mmol/L) or high bicarbonate fluid (32 mmol/L), is better in subjects with acute kidney injury (acute kidney failure) and metabolic acidosis that are admitted to the intensive care unit and require continuous renal replacement therapy (also known as continuous dialysis).

The kidneys are highly vascular organs and any trauma or surgery poses risk of severe bleeding. Platelet function is an integral part of the blood clotting during the initial, so-called vascular phase. So far no universally accepted, easy test has been available to measure platelet functions. Renal failure is a condition generally associated with bleeding due to platelet dysfunctions. This study is exploring the utility of a novel platelet function test, called Platelet Function Analyser-100 to predict bleed after percutaneous kidney biopsy. Platelet Function Analyser-100 will be measure before kidney biopsy along with routine blood tests. Subjects will undergo renal ultrasound before and after renal biopsy to verify post-biopsy bleeding events.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the renal perfusion depending on the MAP.

Acute kidney injury is associated with worsened outcome for critically ill patients. Sepsis-associated and non-septic cardiothoracic surgery associated AKI have been reported, nonetheless, precise pathomechanistic differences as well as detectability of transcriptional and proteomic changes in correlation with imaging and plasma markers are unclear.

Cancer is the second most frequent cause of premature death in children. The incidence of pediatric cancer varies by region and country, but it is generally considered rare with an estimated 300,000 new cases diagnosed worldwide. Acute kidney injury in pediatric cancer patients refers to the sudden and often temporary loss of renal function, which can lead to a variety of complications if not treated correctly.

The investigators intend to study 2 new methods for the early detection of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery and compare and combine the predictive abilities of these methods with established renal injury markers and epidemiological models to detect (AKI).

To testify the prevention of Erythropoietin on cardiac surgery associated-acute kidney injury, and trying to provide evidence for protecting the renal function and improving the prognosis for patients after cardiac surgery.

To validate the use of [TIMP-2]●[IGFBP-7] to predict AKI in patients undergoing major intra abdominal surgery.

The purpose of this study is to measure the acute renal dysfunction on the first, second, seventh and twentieth days.
