KDIGO Bundle to Prevent AKI in Sepsis

Summary: Controlled, prospective, randomized and randomized clinical trial of two intervention groups (standard care vs. preventive recommendations the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines for AKI) of patients diagnosed with sepsis and abdominal post-surgical septic shock with positive results in the risk determination of acute renal injury by NephroCheck …

Extracorporeal Blood Purification as a Treatment Modality for COVID-19

Several studies have suggested a potential clinical benefit of controlling hyper inflammation triggered by SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. Blood purification, the removal of excessive proinflammatory mediators may control disease progression and support clinical recovery. For this purpose, COVID-19 patients might benefit from treatment with AN69ST hemofilter based extracorporeal blood purification.

Relation Between Mean Arterial Pressure and Renal Resistive Index in the Early Phase of Septic Shock

This study evaluates if improvement of renal resistive index when mean arterial pressure increase (at 65 mmHg to 85 mmHg) in early phase of septic shock is predictive of better renal survival.

Liberation From Acute Dialysis

The goal of the LIBERATE-D clinical trial is to improve outcomes for patients recovering from dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury (AKI-D). The impact of a conservative dialysis strategy compared to standard clinical practice of thrice-weekly dialysis will be examined to help generate knowledge for how to guide delivery of dialysis to …

Everolimus Plus Mycophenolic Acid for Kidney Preservation in Liver Transplant Recipients With Impaired Kidney Function

Whether replacement of tacrolimus by Everolimus preserves kidney function in patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease or acute kidney injury is not well established. Also, the efficacy and safety of reduced-dose Everolimus with or without Mycophenolate Mofetil in prevention of rejection is unknown.

Assessment of Paravalvular Leak After TAVI by Hemodynamic Measurements and Cardiac MRI

The secondary endpoint will comprise a composite of device success, early safety and clinical efficacy as defined by the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2)(1) and will comprise death, vascular complications, stroke/ Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), life threatening bleeding requiring transfusion, and acute kidney injury requiring dialysis.

Biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury Following Cardiac Surgery

Acute kidney injury occurs in up to 30% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Cardiac surgery associated-acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is characterized by a sudden and sustained decrease in renal function with insufficient elimination waste products.
