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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Disqualifiers

Known severe chronic kidney disease (CKD≥ stage 4) or undergoing hemodialysis treatment

Kidney transplantation or renal malignancy

Terminal stage of malignant tumor

Pregnancy

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.
