Does High-dose Vitamin B3 Supplementation Prevent Major Adverse Kidney Events During Septic Shock?

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Sepsis is the most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients and is associated with a high mortality rate. Currently there is no available specific treatment to prevent or treat AKI in this setting. Many experimental and clinical data suggest that Nicotinamide, a safe and inexpensive vitamin, could be effective to prevent major adverse kidney events during septic shock. The main objective of the study is to show the superiority of Nicotinamide supplementation compared to the placebo group, in patients with septic shock admitted to intensive care. A 15% reduction in the incidence of major renal adverse events at day 30 is expected in the "Nicotinamide" group.
