Intra-Renal Therapy of Diuretic Unresponsive Acute Kidney Injury

Summary

Randomized prospective trial of patients with diuretic unresponsive acute kidney injury where patients will receive standard supportive therapy with diuretics versus intra-renal delivery of the vasodilator fenoldopam mesylate. Patients with rising creatinine who fail to respond to bolus diuretics will be treated with a prolonged course of diuretics or undergo placement of a catheter within the renal arteries that allows for infusion of fenoldopam mesylate. The rational is that early delivery of a high dose vasodilator may reverse the decline of renal function in patients with severe acute kidney injury.
