Acute Kidney Injury, Sepsis
Conditions
Brief summary
This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study plans to enroll over 800 patients with postoperative sepsis from the ICUs of two tertiary hospitals in Beijing. The study will establish a clinical database and biobank for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), characterize clinical and immune phenotypes, and develop an immune evaluation system. Using multi-omics and single-cell sequencing, we aim to identify novel immune biomarker panels and explore early warning and risk-stratification strategies based on immune profiling.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of AKI within 7 days after ICU admission | From Day 1 to Day 7 after enrollment | AKI incidence is calculated as the number of patients who develop AKI divided by the total number of enrolled patients. AKI will be diagnosed and staged according to KDIGO 2012 criteria, based on serum creatinine and urine output measurements. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 28-Day All-Cause Mortality After Enrollment | From Day 1 through Day 28 after enrollment | All-cause mortality within 28 days after enrollment, calculated as the number of patients who die during Days 1-28 divided by the total number of enrolled patients. Vital status will be ascertained through medical records or follow-up telephone calls. |
