Trial summary

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… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevalence and Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury Among Medical ICU Patients in Assiut University Hospitals

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;

Read the detailed description

Acute kidney injury is a sudden episode of kidney failure or damage that happens within a few hours or days. According to KDIGO (kidney disease improving global outcomes) criteria: AKI is defined as any of the following: Increase in serum creatinine by 0.3mg/dL or more within 48 hours or. Increase in serum creatinine to 1.5 times baseline or more within the last 7 days or. Urine output less than 0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours(1). Kidney Injury (AKI) affects over 13 million people per year globally and results in 1.7 million deaths. Recent hospital studies in the developed world report AKI in 3.2-9.6% of admissions, with overall in-hospital mortality around 20%, and up to 50% in ICU patients.

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; Samar Abd ElHafeez e,tal 2017 found in a multicenter study of over 500 consecutive patients admitted to ICUs in Alexandria Teaching Hospitals in Egypt, that about 40% of patients admitted to ICU had AKI at presentation, and a similar proportion of those who were AKI-free on admission developed AKI during their ICU stay (4) .

Up to our knowledge, there are no sufficient data about the epidemiology of AKI in upper Egypt

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The proportion of risk factor of AKI

    Most common risk factors for aki in ice patients

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact manal ahmed, master (01156949520, manalahmed1993@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The number of AKI patients admitted to medical ICU in assiut university hospitals (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04264507, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
