Brief Summary

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

The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial comparing a standardized dialysis strategy versus usual care (dialysis prescription ordered by each patient's primary nephrologist) in patients with AKI-receiving dialysis.

Standardized Dialysis and Structured Discontinuation (S2D2)

Prescription to minimize dialysis-induced ischemia and standardize dialysis discontinuation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Standardized Dialysis and Structured Discontinuation (S2D2)

Intervention Type OTHER

Prescription to minimize dialysis-induced ischemia

* Cool dialysate (35.0◦C)
* Dialysate sodium of 145mmol/L
* Dialysate calcium of 1.5mmol/L
* Maximum ultrafiltration rate of 10mL/kg/hour (if no weight, maximum is 500mL/hour)

* Note: If dialysis machines cannot get to the specified values, values closest to these are acceptable.

Structured dialysis discontinuation (all criteria met)

* Most recent pre-dialysis potassium \<6mmo/L and bicarbonate \>12mmol/L
* Most recent urine volume ≥1L/day OR last ultrafiltration on dialysis \<1L/session
* If available, timed urine collection with result for mean creatinine and/or urea clearance \>12mL/min

Usual Care

Dialysis prescription ordered by their primary nephrologist/intensivist.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Usual Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Dialysis prescription ordered by their clinical team. Decisions on dialysis discontinuation will be left to individual clinicians and will not be guided by a standard protocol.
