Phase 2

Conditions
Acute Kidney Injury
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05933642
Lead Sponsor
University of Malaya
Brief Summary

The goal of this RCT is to compare the effectiveness of aminophylline and furosemide combination vs furosemide alone in producing effective diuresis in critically ill adults in ICU. ICU patients with the need of improved diuresis will be recruited and given either infusion of aminophylline and furosemide combination or furosemide alone, and their hourly urine output will be monitored to compare their effectiveness.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of patients with effective diuresis at 6 hours post intervention6 hours post intervention

whether effective diuresis is achieved at 6 hours post intervention. Effective diuresis is defined as urine output \>0.5ml/kg/hour based on patient's actual body weight

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Mean duration of infusion to achieve effective diuresis post interventionUp to 6 hours post interventions

Time in hours taken for infusion to achieve effective diuresis post intervention. Effective diuresis is defined as urine output \>0.5ml/kg/hour based on patient's actual body weight
