What this trial studies

This prospective observational study aims to assess the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). It will include all adult patients who stay in the ICU for 48 hours or more, collecting data on demographics, length of stay, reasons for ICU admission, and other relevant health factors. The study will be conducted at the Health Science University Haseki Research and Training Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, following ethical guidelines and obtaining informed consent from participants or their families.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adult patients admitted to the ICU for 48 hours or more.

Not a fit: Patients with end-stage renal disease, existing AKI at ICU admission, or a history of renal transplantation will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve understanding of AKI in ICU patients, potentially leading to better prevention and management strategies.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored AKI in ICU settings, indicating that this area of research is significant and has shown promising results in understanding risk factors and outcomes.
