Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to quantitatively assess renal microcirculation changes by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and to obtain systemic hemodynamic information by ultrasound Doppler at the same time, to analyze the relationship between renal microcirculation changes and systemic hemodynamic changes, and to explore its predictive value in renal function recovery in patients with critical acute kidney injury. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. To explore the quantitative parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound which can reflect the changes of renal microcirculation.
2. To explore the relationship between renal microcirculation and systemic hemodynamics.
3. To explore the value of renal microflow changes quantitatively evaluated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound in predicting renal function recovery.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients recovering before hospital discharge

Recovery is defined as a return to normal serum creatinine and urine volume or more than 50% improvement in serum creatinine and/or urine volume from baseline

No interventions assigned to this group

Patients not recovering before hospital discharge

Non-recovery is defined as no significant improvement or further increase in serum creatinine and/or urine volume, the need for dialysis, or death.
