ORKID: Outpatient Recovery From Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
There are currently no therapies to improve the chances of recovering enough kidney function to come off of dialysis after severe acute kidney injury. It is not known if current routine outpatient dialysis treatments are optimized to maximize the chances of recovery. The purpose of this pilot study is to see if we can feasibly and safely provide several changes to the way that dialysis is provided in outpatient dialysis centers which may improve the chances of recovery.

During the 90-day study period, participants will be prescribed outpatient hemodialysis with cooled dialysate (35-36°C), high sodium dialysate (145 mmol/L), a high ultrafiltration hold threshold (systolic blood pressure > 110 mmHg; ultrafiltration hold threshold will not be applied in participants with baseline systolic blood pressure < 120 mmHg), and high dose diuretics (160 mg oral furosemide twice daily) to be taken every day at home will also be prescribed. Dialysis will be weaned according to an active weaning protocol.
Drug: Furosemide
160 mg oral furosemide twice daily to be taken every day at home

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The proportion of patients who received the dialysate temperature, dialysate sodium concentration, diuretic dose, and ultrafiltration hold threshold that was ordered at least once in the first two weeks of treatment. [First two weeks of study intervention]
Feasibility
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The proportion of enrolled patients completing the 90-day study still continuing each intervention. [Study day 90]
Tolerability
- Incidence of adverse events; both serious and non-serious adverse events will be monitored including electrolyte abnormalities, emergent dialysis treatments, and hospitalizations. [Study day 90]
Safety
- Time to renal recovery [Study day 90]
Days after study enrollment before renal recovery, defined as being alive and off dialysis for 14 consecutive days.
- Proportion of dialysis sessions complicated by intradialytic hypotension [Study day 90]
Defined as nadir systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg.
- Number of participants enrolled per month [Total study duration, anticipated 1 year]
Recruitment rate
- Ratio of the number of participants who meet inclusion criteria to the number of participants enrolled [Total study duration, anticipated 1 year]
Screening-to-recruitment ratio
- Modified dialysis symptom index score [Study day 0, 7, 14, 28, and 90]
- Kidney disease quality of life-36 score [Study day 0, 7, 14, 28, and 90]
