Brief Summary

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

The Hamburg Acute Renal Injury Study (HARIS) is a prospective observational cohort study aimed at investigating the mechanisms, risk factors, and clinical determinants of acute kidney injury (AKI) trajectories and consequences.

Detailed Description

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

The Hamburg Acute Renal Injury Study (HARIS) is a prospective observational cohort study that includes hospitalized adults (≥18 years) at the time of acute kidney injury (AKI). Potential participants are identified during hospital care, and a structured IT-supported clinical screening system helps detect AKI cases in real time. In parallel, a control group of hospitalized adults with acute illness who have not developed AKI is enrolled to enable comparative analyses of specific risk factors, pathophysiology, and outcomes. All participants undergo a standardized clinical assessment of kidney function, comorbidities, hemodynamic status, medication exposure, procedures, and laboratory parameters. The study includes serial collection of clinical data and biosamples (blood and urine) at study inclusion, during hospitalization, and at 3-month after discharge. All biospecimens are processed within a harmonized pipeline and stored in the Hamburg and European Renal Omics-Biobank (HERO). Beyond the identification of clinical determinants of AKI trajectories, the central objective of HARIS is to identify biological pathways of sustained kidney injury and repair, improve risk stratification, evaluated prognostic biomarkers, and support the development of precision medicine approaches in post AKI care. Long-term outcomes including progressive chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events, hospital readmissions, and mortality are collected through annual structured follow-ups. No experimental interventions are performed and all clinical management follows standard of care.

Study Groups

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

AKI group

Group consists of adult hospitalized individuals, who meet the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI). Participants will be prospectively followed for clinical course, kidney function, biomarker analysis, and outcomes. No experimental interventions are performed. All care follows standard clinical practice.

No interventions assigned to this group

Control group

Group consists of adult hospitalized individuals with an acute illness, who have not developed acute kidney injury (AKI). Participants will be prospectively followed for clinical course, kidney function, biomarker analysis, and outcomes. No experimental interventions are performed. All care follows standard clinical practice.

No interventions assigned to this group
