What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying patients with acute kidney injury who require dialysis and continue this treatment after leaving the hospital. The study aims to see if providing additional information about the patient's remaining kidney function at discharge to both the patient and their kidney doctor helps in managing recovery and dialysis schedules. The study is a randomized trial sponsored by the University of California, San Francisco, focusing on the feasibility and effects of sharing this recovery information. The study has two groups: one receives detailed information about kidney function measured by a timed urine collection before hospital discharge, including urine volume and clearance rates, along with guidance on dialysis monitoring and possible twice-weekly dialysis schedules. The other group undergoes the same urine testing, but the results and recommendations are not shared with the patient or nephrologist; instead, the nephrologist is only notified that the patient is being followed for recovery. The study lasts for about 60 days after discharge. Participants will complete a urine collection within seven days before leaving the hospital. Researchers will track how many complete this test and successfully receive the information. During the 60-day follow-up, they will monitor dialysis frequency changes, recovery from dialysis dependence, urine collections after discharge, and any adverse events. This will help assess how well the information-sharing approach works and its impact on patient recovery and dialysis treatment.

Your Study Journey
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Up to 7 days before hospital discharge
Participants receive timed urine collection near hospital discharge to assess kidney function. Results are either transmitted to the nephrologist and patient with monitoring recommendations or not transmitted, depending on the group assignment.
1 visit at hospital discharge
Duration - 60 days
Participants are followed for 60 days after hospital discharge to monitor kidney recovery, dialysis schedules, and adverse events.
Follow-up assessments over 60 days
