Mechanisms of Acute Kidney Injury in Severe Infections
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
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.
Eligibility
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
