About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to quantitatively assess the renal microcirculation changes by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and to obtain systemic hemodynamic information by ultrasound Doppler at the same time, to analyze the relationship between renal microcirculation changes and systemic hemodynamic changes, and to explore the diagnostic value of CEUS in critically ill acute kidney injury.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age>18 years old
First admission to ICU < 24h after admission and expected ICU stay ≥48 hours
Acute kidney injury risk factors (KDIGO 2012)
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound

Trial population
Through literature review, the latest meta-analysis results showed that the area under the curve of CEUS parameters for diagnosing AKI was 0.84 and the width of the confidence interval was 0.22. When α=0.05, the sample size N=54 was obtained by PASS software. Considering the 10% shedding rate, 60 patients were expected to be enrolled in this study.
