Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Positron emission tomography (PET)

Positron emission tomography (PET): Assessment of blood flow with marked water and assessment of neutrophil presence with neutrophil elastase tracer + CT

Study summary

Renal perfusion and neutrophil-mediated inflammation will be assessed in the kidney in sepsis patients with acute kidney injury using positron emission tomography. For marked water will be used for renal perfusion and a newly developed PET tracer molecule (11C-GW457427) with specific binding to neutrophil elastase which provides a measure of the amount of infiltrating neutrophils in the renal parenchyma for inflammation. The study is performed in a PET-CT camera where anatomical imaging takes place at the same time as the PET examinations.

Accepted
Inclusion Criteria: Patients with sepsis and AKI * \> 30 years * At least AKI stage 1 according to KDIGO where the last plasma creatinine is measured within 24 hours of the examination Healthy volunteers * \> 30 years * No previously known kidney disease * Normal plasma creatinine value Exclusion Criteria: * Chronic renal failure (CKD stage \>3a) or dialysis * Instability in vital functions that makes PET-CT examination unsuitable * Claustrophobia or other reasons that make the patient unable to lie still during the examination. * Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Renal perfusion in patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) measured by 15O-labeled water in dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) — PET performed within 10 days of AKI
    vs controls
  • Presence of neutrophil elastase in the kidneys in patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) by 11C-GW457427 measured with dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) — PET performed within days of AKI
    vs controls
