Comparison Between Right and Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction as a Risk Factors for Aki in Critical Care Patients
Egypt80 participantsStarted 2018-01-01
Plain-language summary
The cardio renal syndrome generally focuses on left ventricular function, and the importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of renal function is described less frequently. Although the risk of AKI is similar for patients with isolated LVD and isolated RVD, the severity of AKI and the associated risk of hospital mortality is highest among those with isolated RVD.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study is looking at whether right or left ventricular dysfunction is a bigger risk factor for acute kidney injury in the ICU — does my specific heart function pattern make me a good candidate to discuss this study with my care team?
2Since the trial is observational and focused on tracking AKI over the first 7 days in the ICU, would participating change anything about my actual treatment, or would I just be monitored more closely than usual?
3The recruitment status for this trial is listed as unknown — can you find out whether this study is still actively enrolling patients or if it has wrapped up?
4Given that this study is looking at ventricular dysfunction as a risk factor for AKI, what is my current risk of developing acute kidney injury based on my heart function, and how is my care team already monitoring for that?
5Are there standard ICU monitoring protocols for kidney injury related to heart dysfunction that I would receive regardless of this trial, and how would participating in this study differ from that standard care?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
