About this trial

The Hamburg Acute Kidney Injury Study (HAKIS) is a prospective observational cohort study aimed at investigating the mechanisms, risk factors, and clinical determinants of acute kidney injury (AKI) trajectories and consequences.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Hospitalized individuals with acute kidney injury (AKI), defined by the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria or hospitalized individuals with acute illness who have not developed AKI (control group)

Age ≥ 18 years at time of enrollment

Written informed consent provided by the participant or, in participants lacking decision-making capacity, by a legal representative or healthcare proxy, where available. Participants lacking decision-making capacity without an available legal representative or healthcare proxy may be enrolled if participation is not contrary to their presumed wishes, in accordance with the ethics committee-approved consent procedure. Written informed consent is subsequently sought from the participant upon regaining decision-making capacity or from a legal representative, as applicable.

Disqualifiers

None

Trial population

Hospitalized individuals with acute kidney injury (AKI) or at risk for AKI will be identified during routine medical care and invited for study participation. Routine clinical identification of AKI includes an IT-based screening system.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Kidney Function Recovery after AKI

Improvement of kidney function after acute kidney injury, defined by partial or complete return of the kidney function toward baseline values

Time frame
assessed at discharge, 3-months after discharge, and annual follow-up
2

Persistent Kidney Function Decline

Sustained impairment of kidney function following acute kidney injury, characterized by incomplete recovery and persistently reduced kidney function over follow-up.

Time frame
assessed at discharge, 3-months after discharge, and annual follow-up
3

Development or Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease

New onset or worsening of chronic kidney disease during follow-up, assessed based on changes in kidney function over time.

Time frame
assessed at 3-months after discharge, and annual follow-up
4

End-stage kidney disease (ESKD)

Occurrence of ESKD, characterized by the initiation of maintenance kidney replacement therapy, kidney transplantation or a persistent eGFR \< 15 ml/min/1.73m2

Time frame
assessed at discharge, 3-months after discharge, and annual follow-up

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of vascular diseases

Occurrence of vascular disease, including coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, or cerebrovascular disease after AKI

Time frame
assessed at discharge, 3 months after discharge, and annual follow-up
2

Incidence of Dementia

New diagnosis of dementia occurring during follow-up after AKI

Time frame
assessed at discharge, 3 months after discharge, and annual follow-up
3

Incidence of Cancer

New diagnosis of malignant disease occurring during follow-up after AKI

Time frame
assessed at discharge, 3 months after discharge, and annual follow-up
4

Incidence of Infections

New diagnosis of infections occurring during follow-up after AKI

Time frame
assessed at discharge, 3 months after discharge, and annual follow-up
