Acute Kidney Injury Biomarkers: Diagnosis and Application in Pre-operative Period of Liver Transplantation

Conditions
Acute Kidney Injury
Registration Number
NCT02095431
Lead Sponsor
University of Sao Paulo
Brief Summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI), is a common complication of patients undergoing liver transplantation. Timing and definition of AKI, usually based on serum creatinine, have been inaccurate and inconsistent.

We hypothesized that the pattern of novel biomakers elevation could be a prognostic tool to provide information on the risk of progression of AKI, the need for RRT and mortality.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Development of Acute Kidney Injury based on novel biomarkerswithin 7 days

Compare the timing for diagnosis of AKI comparing novel biomarkers and serum creatinine defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes. In addition, we aim to evaluate if the pattern of elevation of the novel biomarkers provide information on progression and severity of AKI.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Short and long term renal outcomes1 year

renal function and need for RRT

Association of urine chemistry and microscopy to predict acute kidney injurywithin 7 days of liver transplantation

Association of urine chemistry and microscopy with novel biomarkers to predict AKI diagnosis and progression
