Analyzing kidney injury risk in septic shock patients

Does the Urine Concentration of TIMP2*IGFBP7 Can Distinguish Patients Who Will Present Transient or Persistent Acute Kidney Injury During Septic Shock? A Retrospective Analysis. BIOCHECK

Observational Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens · NCT03472079

This study looks at patients in intensive care with septic shock to see if certain urine markers can help predict the risk of kidney injury and how likely it is to get better.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients with septic shock in intensive care units who are at high risk for developing acute kidney injury (AKI). The researchers will analyze data from patients admitted between January 2014 and January 2017, specifically looking at urine concentrations of TIMP2*IGFBP7 to assess the likelihood of AKI reversibility. By determining a threshold for these biomarkers, the study aims to differentiate between transient and severe kidney injuries, potentially guiding early interventions. The study is retrospective and will utilize existing patient data to draw conclusions about kidney function recovery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and over who have been diagnosed with septic shock and acute kidney injury within a specific timeframe.

Not a fit: Patients requiring immediate renal replacement therapy or those with chronic renal failure may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early interventions for patients with septic shock, potentially reducing mortality associated with acute kidney injury.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using TIMP2*IGFBP7 for early AKI detection is promising, it is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
