Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Admitted to the ICU
  • Women with serum creatinine ≥ 100 µmol/L and men with serum creatinine ≥ 130 µmol/L
  • Severe acute kidney injury (AKI) defined either: A ≥ 2-fold increase in serum creatinine from a known pre-morbid baseline or during the current hospitalization OR achievement of a serum creatinine ≥ 354 µmol/L with evidence of a minimum increase of 27 µmol/L from pre-morbid baseline or during the current hospitalization OR Urine output \< 6.0 mL/kg over the preceding 12 hours OR initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) for severe AKI initiated less than 72 hours before recruitment.

Exclusion

  • Lack of commitment to provide RRT as part of limitation of ongoing life support. (Operational definition: Critical care team has deemed the patient not to be eligible for escalation of life support, including the initiation of RRT, or substitute decision makers have declined offer of same.)
  • Known pre-hospitalization advanced chronic kidney disease, defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 in a patient who is not on chronic RRT. (Operational definition: The coordinator will review all documented serum creatinine values within 365 days prior to the date of admission for the current hospitalization. The value closest to the admission date will be considered as the "baseline" and will be used to calculate the corresponding estimated glomerular filtration rate using an online calculator. A value of \< 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 derived from the CKD-EPI equation will be grounds for exclusion.
