Summary

This trial tests a method to manage fluid levels in critically ill patients with severe kidney issues. The goal is to prevent and treat fluid buildup by removing excess fluid, potentially improving patient outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 in the ICU with acute kidney injury (AKI) who meet specific criteria related to changes in serum creatinine or urine output. They must be starting kidney replacement therapy soon or have started it within the last 48 hours. People can't join if they're not expected to receive full support, might leave ICU soon, have severe burns, extreme sodium levels, ongoing fluid loss, or if their care team thinks the trial isn't right for them.
What is being tested?
The study tests a protocol-based fluid management strategy against usual care in critically ill patients on kidney replacement therapy. The goal is to manage fluids more actively to prevent and treat fluid buildup by aiming for neutral or negative daily fluid balance.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include complications from imbalanced fluid levels such as dehydration or overhydration which could affect blood pressure, heart function, and electrolyte balance.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) include fluid resuscitation, diuretics, and renal replacement therapy (RRT). Fluid resuscitation aims to restore adequate blood flow to the kidneys by administering intravenous fluids, which helps to prevent further kidney damage. Diuretics are used to increase urine output and reduce fluid overload, which can alleviate pressure on the kidneys. Renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis, removes waste products and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are unable to do so. Regulation of fluid balance is crucial in AKI management because both fluid overload and dehydration can exacerbate kidney injury. Maintaining a neutral or negative fluid balance, as studied in fluid management protocols, helps to optimize kidney function and improve patient outcomes.
