Biomarkers in acute kidney injury settings to predict interventions and outcomes: the MARKISIO study

Crit CarePublished Ancillary study of the AKIKI2 randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Neither routine nor novel biomarkers demonstrated conclusive predictive accuracy for the need for RRT in severe AKI patients.

Study context

Population
Severe acute kidney injury (AKI) (stage 3) patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and/or vasopressors
Participants
256 participants
Comparison
Routine and novel serum and urinary biomarkers for predicting renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation criteria
Primary endpoint
Onset of precise criteria for RRT initiation
Follow-up
Within 72 h after severe AKI
Methodological detailsprognostic biomarker study, Blood and urine samples collected within 12 h after severe AKI when feasible
  • Prognostic biomarker study
  • Blood and urine samples collected within 12 h after severe AKI when feasible
