Using renal resistive index to predict acute kidney injury in high-risk patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of measuring renal resistive index (RRI) via bedside Doppler ultrasound in identifying acute kidney injury (AKI) among high-risk patients in a surgical intensive care unit. It compares RRI with traditional renal biomarkers and assessments such as urine output and serum creatinine levels. The goal is to enhance early detection of AKI, which is crucial for improving patient outcomes in critically ill individuals. The study is conducted at Aswan University Hospital, focusing on patients with conditions like severe pre-eclampsia, polytrauma, and sepsis.
