Effects of Variation of Sodium Dialysate in ICU
Intermittent hemodialysis/diafiltration is a current renal replacement therapy (RRT) institued for ICU patients with AKI. For a better clinical tolerance, iinternational guidelines advise to use cold dialysate, increase duration session, decrease blood and dialysate flows, and increase level of sodium dialysate concentration (≥ 145mmol/l). Indeed, the use of a Na …
Methylene Blue for the Prevention of Hypotension During Hemodialysis
Hypotension is a common complication of intermittent renal replacement therapy. Methylene blue, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, has been suggested to improve hemodynamics during renal replacement therapy in ambulatory patients, but evidence is lacking for critically ill patients. This trial will assess whether methylene blue can improve hemodynamics and …
Standard Dose Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) Versus Low-Dose CRRT ( KETZEREI )
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-recognized complication in critically ill patients, which often leads to the necessity of mechanical kidney support (CRRT). In current therapeutic regimes, CRRT is used to strictly prevent azotaemia. Thus recent clinical observations, as well as data from animal testing suggest a link between controlled …
Influence of Human Albumin Supplementation on Kidney Dysfunction After Liver Transplantation
To verify whether albumin administration to achieve serum concentration above 30g/L (treated group) and its maintenance within plasmatic physiologic range (above 30 g/L) for five days diminishes rate of AKI at Day 7 after liver transplantation as compared to restrained albumin administration (when serum concentration is at 20 g/L or …
Droxidopa to Increase Mean Arterial Pressure in Decompensated Cirrhosis Patients With Acute Kidney Injury
This study tests whether a medication called droxidopa can help improve blood flow to the kidneys in people with liver cirrhosis who develop kidney problems while in the hospital. When someone with cirrhosis experiences kidney injury, having better blood pressure can help their kidneys recover. Droxidopa is an oral medication …
Norepinephrine Infusion Combined With Goal-directed Fluid Therapy in Patients Undergoing Kidney Transplantations
Delayed graft function (DGF), delineated by the necessity for dialytic intervention within the initial week post-transplantation, afflicts approximately 20%-50% of recipients. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the potential efficacy of norepinephrine infusion in conjunction with goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) in mitigating the occurrence of DGF among …
Angiopoietin and Adverse Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass can lead to systemic organ failure trough excess inflammation and endothelial injury. The angiopoietin family represented by angiopoietin 1 and 2 can reflect endothelial injury by a decrease in angiopoietin 1 and an increase in angiopoietin 2. The investigators hypothesized that angiopoietin dysregulation could reflect …
Safety Evaluation of Prismocitrate 18 in Patients Receiving CRRT
Prismocitrate 18 is a continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) solution to be used as a renal replacement solution and as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting in the extracorporeal circuit. The objectives of this study are: 1) to confirm the safety of Prismocitrate 18 in patients receiving CRRT using continuous …
LSALT Peptide for Prevention or Attenuation of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Patients Undergoing On-Pump Cardiac Surgery
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 …
NAD+ Augmentation in Cardiac Surgery Associated Myocardial Injury Trial
A Randomized, Double-blind, placebo-controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Oral Nam for the Prevention of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing On-Pump Cardiac Surgery
