Clinical Trial: Effect of High Versus Standard Protein Intake in Critically Ill Patients With Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

U.S., May 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07596043) titled 'Effect of High Versus Standard Protein Intake in Critically Ill Patients With Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy' on May 05.

Brief Summary: During critical illness, patients experience a hypercatabolic state. This hypercatabolic state causes muscle wasting in patients, resulting in intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICU-AW). ICU-AW is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) weaning, extubating failure and extended length of stay. Previously recognized risk factors for ICU-AW include shock, sepsis, multiple organ failure, hyperglycemia, and prolonged exposure to corticosteroids, sedati...
