Trial summary

Acute kidney injury increases the risk for chronic kidney disease, length of stay, readmissions and mortality. Currently the only way to diagnose acute kidney injury is with a serum creatinine or drop in urine output. Biomarkers for acute kidney injury are well elevated before rise in creatinine.

About this study

Official title: Alert Kidney Intervention

Acute kidney injury increases the risk for chronic kidney disease, length of stay, readmissions and mortality. Currently the only way to diagnose acute kidney injury is with a serum creatinine or drop in urine output. Biomarkers for acute kidney injury are well elevated before rise in creatinine. Hypothesis is that by implementing an electronic alert system with an algorithm followed by remote ischemic preconditioning will prevent acute kidney injury.

Read the detailed description

The propose study is to incorporate an alert system in current medical health system and an algorithm will be used to activate clinicians and Nephrologist to confirm if patient is at high risk. Once identified as high risk the clinician and/or nephrologist will intervene and change current management if needed. First phase of study will look at an alert system and algorithm was enough to lower incidence of acute kidney injury. Phase 2 will also use alert system and algorithm that will be further randomized those that are identified as high risk for acute kidney injury to remote ischemic preconditioning.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • remote ischemic preconditioningOther

    inflation and deflation of cuff 5min each cycle repeated 3 times

  • KDIGO guidelinesOther

    KDIGO stands for Kidney disease Improving global outcomes guidelines, and have guidelines for prevention and treatment of AKI which is considered standard of care.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
KDIGO guidelinesExperimentalPart 1 of study, those identified as high risk for AKI then will have Kidney Disease Global Improving outcomes guideline implemented to see if this reduces incidence of AKI
Receives: Other: KDIGO guidelines
RIPCExperimentalpart 2 of study, those identified as high risk of AKI will have Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines and RIPC implemented to see if this reduces incidence of AKI compared to part 2 of study
Receives: Other: remote ischemic preconditioning

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. number of participants who developed acute kidney injury

    development of acute kidney injury as measured by serum creatinine 1.5 times more then baseline

    Measured: during hospitalization, up to three months

  2. number of participants who required dialysis

    need for initiation of dialysis after acute kidney injury develops during the admission

    Measured: during hospitalization, up to three months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. number of participants who are placed on hospice or have expired

    death or placed on hospice

    Measured: at time of admission when enrolled in study to 1 year post discharge

  2. progression to chronic kidney disease

    measured by serum creatinine over 1 year on followup labs

    Measured: at time of admission when enrolled in study to 1 year post discharge

  3. number of participants who receive dialysis

    initiation of dialysis starting from at time of admission to 1 year post discharge

    Measured: at time of admission when enrolled in study to 1 year post discharge

  4. number of participants who are readmitted

    readmissions to hospital within 1 year of first admission date

    Measured: discharged from when enrolled in study to 1 year post discharge

  5. length of stay

    starting from onset of acute kidney injury measured by elevated creatinine 1.5 times baseline creatinine to last day of discharged

    Measured: during hospitalization, up to three months

Model description
Two part study: all patients will be triaged by alert system whether they are high risk for acute kidney injury and those patients that are identified as high risk for AKI have standard of care implemented by following kidney disease improving global outcomes guidelines in preventing AKI and part 2 will perform procedure called remote ischemic preconditioning in addition to standard of care in part1 in those patients that are identified as high risk for acute kidney injury.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing remote ischemic preconditioning and KDIGO guidelines in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by Atlantic Health System.

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 2 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of participants who developed acute kidney injury (time frame: during hospitalization, up to three months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Oct 2021.
