Renal Perfusion and the Development of AKI Following Traumatic Injury

Renal Perfusion and the Development of AKI Following Traumatic Injury - A Longitudinal Observational Cohort Study

Sponsor

King's College Hospital NHS Trust

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Apr 13, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

AKI - Acute Kidney Injury Traumatic Haemorrhagic Shock AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) Due to Trauma

Summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of traumatic haemorrhagic shock (THS) and together these conditions increase mortality risk. Although septic shock patients who develop severe AKI are known to develop hypoperfusion of the renal cortex, little is known regarding intra-renal perfusion changes in THS. The aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of THS on renal microcirculatory perfusion.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years
