Official title

The Biosonographic Index - A Novel Index for the Early Detection of Acute Kidney Injury After Vascular Surgery - an Exploratory Study.

Overview

In this exploratory study we explore the use of Shear Wave Elastography to differentiate between Acute Kidney Injury after vascular surgery and among the healthy population.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic test Shear Wave Elastography
    Advanced ultrasound technique

Primary outcome measures

  • Diagnostic factor of Shear Wave Elastography [Time frame: From the time of Informed Consent being given to 96 hours after consent being given]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • No history of diabetes or hypertension
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate > 60 ml/min/m\^2
  • Structurally normal kidney on renal ultrasound
  • BMI < 27 kg/m\^2

Exclusion criteria

  • Prisoners directly admitted from a correctional facility
  • Children < 19 years or under 50 kg body weight if age is unknown
  • Patients with end stage renal disease or preexisting glomerular filtration rate less than or equal to 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 or need for dialysis
  • Patients with end stage heart disease on the cardiac transplant list
  • Patients undergoing procedures without vascular surgery
  • All transplant patients
  • Patients on ventricular assist devices
  • Patients undergoing emergency procedures
  • Patients with body mass index > 27kg/m\^2
  • Any condition that would impede visualization of the kidneys by ultrasound
