Comparing two types of kidney treatments for patients with sepsis-related kidney injury

Efficacy of Convection-based Hemodiafiltration Compare With Diffusion-based Hemodialysis in Sepsis-associated Acute Kidney Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Not applicable Interventional Ramathibodi Hospital · NCT06227104

This study is testing whether a new kidney treatment using convection-based hemodiafiltration works better than traditional hemodialysis for patients with kidney injury caused by sepsis.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of convection-based hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) compared to diffusion-based hemodialysis (SLED) in patients suffering from sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) who require kidney replacement therapy. The study will involve a stratified randomized controlled design, where patients will be allocated to either treatment group based on their hemodynamic stability. Key outcomes will include the percentage reduction in C-reactive protein (CRP), 30-day mortality rates, renal recovery, and length of hospital stay. The trial will take place at Ramathibodi Hospital and Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute in Thailand.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury requiring kidney replacement therapy.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, have end-stage kidney disease, or are receiving high doses of vasopressors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment options and outcomes for patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on hemodialysis methods, this specific comparison of convection-based versus diffusion-based treatments in sepsis-associated AKI is relatively novel.
