Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to explore the feasibility and safety of urine alkalinisation in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Severe acute kidney injury appears to a major part of the SARS-CoV-2 syndrome. Preventing early acute kidney injury may reduce severe AKI as the disease progresses. Urine alkalinisation to prevent binding of SARS-COV-2 to renal tubular epithelial cells is a novel concept that could be used to design other therapies to reduce viral binding. Showing feasibility with this safe and available strategy could be the first step toward other related efforts.

Sodium bicarbonate

Intravenous sodium bicarbonate infusion

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sodium Bicarbonate 150Meq/L/D5W Inj

Intervention Type DRUG

Urine alkalinisation will be performed to achieve urine pH 7.5-8.5. Urine alkalinisation will be continued for up to 10 days or until patient is discharged or until primary endpoint is reached. Urine pH will be measured at point of care by dipstick.

Standard care
