AFTER AKI Trial Summary

This trial is testing if structured post-discharge care can improve outcomes for people who have developed acute kidney injury while in the hospital.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who survived a hospital stay with acute kidney injury and don't have arranged follow-up care with a kidney specialist. They must have had their blood creatinine levels double during the hospital stay, not be on chronic dialysis from before, expect to live more than 6 months, and have a primary care physician.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing two types of post-hospital care for acute kidney injury survivors: one group will receive risk-guided follow-up while the other will get usual care. It's a practical study involving random assignment of participants at two hospitals in Alberta.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial compares different follow-up care methods rather than medications or procedures, it does not directly involve side effects like drug trials do. However, there may be indirect effects based on the quality and type of aftercare received.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Risk guided follow-upExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participant will be stratified for risk of CKD in three groups: Low (<1% risk of CKD), medium (1-10 % risk of CKD) and high (≥10 % risk of CKD). Specific follow-up will be guided by risk status
