This is especially true in patients with AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT), also known as dialysis. An understudied mechanism by which AKI-RRT may contribute to poor clinical outcomes, both in the hospital and after discharge, is through its impact on muscle mass and muscle function. AKI of any severity is known to alter tissue utilization of amino acids, and preliminary data suggest that RRT in the ICU may exacerbate muscle dysfunction through the removal of large quantities of amino acids from the patient's plasma. This study will determine whether patients with AKI-RRT have greater lean muscle loss over 1 week than historical critically ill controls, whether patients with AKI-RRT have diminished recovery of muscle mass and function at 1-3 months following discharge compared to controls, and whether changes in plasma levels of amino acids during hospitalization correlate with loss of muscle function or lack of recovery."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '89 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'The study population will be composed of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy in an ICU setting.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* \\>18 years old\n* AKI requiring CRRT, with enrollment within 48 hours of CRRT initiation\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* ICU admission for \\>7 days\n* RRT of any kind at any time prior to ICU admission\n* Chronic kidney disease (CKD) with estimated glomerular filtration rate \\<20 mL/min/1.73 m2 as calculated by the 2021 CKD-EPI equation\n* underlying muscle disorders or muscle atrophy such as quadriplegia or hemiplegia, stroke with residual motor deficits, end-stage liver disease, active alcohol use disorder, active malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancer) within 1 year, burns, or other baseline neuromuscular disease\n* pregnancy\n* concomitant use of other extracorporeal support devices such as ventricular assist devices or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation\n* anticipated inability to engage in weight-bearing testing after discharge (e.g., trauma or orthopedic surgery)\n* subjects will be ineligible for outpatient testing if they remain on RRT in the week prior to the research appointment'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05287204', 'briefTitle': 'Critical Illness Myopathy and Trajectory of Recovery in AKI Requiring CRRT', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Iowa'}, 'officialTitle': 'Critical Illness Myopathy and Trajectory of Recovery in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Requiring Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT): A Prospective Observational Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '202002328'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'AKI-RRT', 'description': 'Adults admitted to the ICU with AKI requiring CRRT with study enrollment within 48 hours of CRRT initiation.', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: Musculoskeletal ultrasound', 'Diagnostic Test: Assessments of muscle strength and physical function', 'Diagnostic Test: Metabolomics']}, {'label': 'Historical Controls', 'description': 'The controls for the ICU phase will be 41 critically ill adults without AKI-RRT in whom similar measurements of muscle size, quality, and function were collected in a recent prior study \\[PubMed ID: 33148301\\].
