Acute Kidney Injury
Major research domains include:
- Acute kidney injury
- Multi-organ failure and organ support
- Short and long-term outcomes of critical illness
Ongoing and recent projects:
- Skeletal Muscle Wasting and Renal Dysfunction After Critical Illness and Trauma - Outcomes Study (KRATOS). This study aims to determine changes in kidney function during and after critical illness, comparing conventional creatinine based methods with the gold standard to accurately establish the presence of new or worsened chronic kidney disease. Funding: Rosetrees Trust (PI: Haines)
- Persistent Critical Illness and Biochemical Signatures of Catabolism. To advance our understanding of prolonged critical care admissions and identify potential therapeutic windows. (PI: Wan)
- Acute Kidney Injury in hospital admissions: This project studies acute kidney injury across one of the largest NHS Trusts to predict patients at high risk for developing new or progressive CKD after an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI). (PI: Prowle)
The group has a portfolio of industry sponsored research and collaborations.
