Patient Type
Renal
INTERVENTION Type
Nonpharmacologic
GROUP A
Dialysis with protocolized fluid balance targets
GROUP B
Usual care
INCLUSION CRITERIA
· Age ≥ 18 admitted to the ICU
·Decision to initiate KRT (Kidney Replacement Therapy) within 12 hours or KRT in progress for less than 48 hours
· Acute kidney injury during current hospitalization defined as any of the following:
o Increase in serum creatinine by 27 μmol/L or more within 48 hours,
o Or an increase in serum creatinine to 1.5 times baseline or more
within the last 7 days,
o Or a urine output less than 0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours.
INCLUSION TIME LIMIT
48h post initiation of dialysis
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
· Lack of commitment to maintain kidney support at the time of screening, or probable
transition to comfort care within 48 hours according to the treating physician
· Probable discharge from the ICU within the next 48 hours according to treating
physician
· Severe burn injury (>10% body surface area)
· Severe abnormalities of serum sodium (>155 or < 120 mmol/L)
· Important ongoing fluid losses are present and are expected to require continued
maintenance IV fluids during the next 48 hours
