Trial summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI) Diagnosis is based on rising creatinine. Intrarenal vasoconstriction occurs earlier and measuring flow resistance in the renal circulation (Renal Resistive Index (RRI)) could become part of vital organ function assessment using Doppler ultrasound.

About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of Doppler Renal Resistive Index for Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury in Septic Patients in Intensive Care Unit.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) Diagnosis is based on rising creatinine. Intrarenal vasoconstriction occurs earlier and measuring flow resistance in the renal circulation (Renal Resistive Index (RRI)) could become part of vital organ function assessment using Doppler ultrasound.

The aim of this study is to predict AKI in septic patients in ICU by measuring RRI on admission by comparing two groups of patients, first group with RRI of normal value (0.6-0.7) and the other group with high RRI more than 0.7 and both with normal renal function on admission.

Read the detailed description

Patients who have criteria of sepsis, with normal renal function on admission will undergo Renal Doppler Ultrasound examination to measure Renal resistive index.

Patients will be divided into 2 groups:

  1. Group (A) patients with renal resistive index between 0.6 and 0.7 (normal RRI).
  2. Group (B) patients with renal resistive index more than 0.7 (high RRI).

    Measured: 1 day at admission

  2. APACHE IV score

    Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation scores. Score range (0 better - 286 worse)

    Measured: 1 day at admission

  3. SOFA score

    Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. Score Range (0 better - 24 worse)

    Measured: 1 day at admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury and Sepsis, run by Ain Shams 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 2 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

incidence of AKI (time frame: 1 day at admission). 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 20 Jul 2021.
