This prospective observational study will include critically ill patients with hemodynamic compromise. It will compare passive leg raising and a mini volume challenge (MVC) carried out on every patient sequentially. The endogenous release of stress hormones will also be assayed in order to investigate their modifying effect on the hemodynamic reaction of the participants. The effect of fluid resuscitation on renal perfusion will also be assessed and the data compared with the release of cystatin C.
