U.S., March 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06889116) titled 'VExUS Score and AKI in Critically Ill Adult patients-a Prospective Observational Study.' on March 15.
Brief Summary: Introduction Renal perfusion is dependent on the renal perfusion pressure across the renal capillaries. Venous congestion due to excess fluid therapy can drastically reduce the renal perfusion pressure in spite of a normal mean arterial pressure. Increasing cumulative fluid balance during the ICU stay has been found to be associated with negative outcomes including acute kidney injury (AKI) and hospital mortality. Venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) to assess the Doppler studies of renal, hepatic and portal veins along ...
