Intravenous Administration of Vitamin B Complex Improves Renal Recovery in Patients With AKI

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2021-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Animal and human studies have shown that the administration of vitamin B3 (niacin) improves renal ischemia; helping to recover from acute kidney injury (AKI) more effectively; Therefore, its use in patients with AKI could improve short-term outcomes: accelerating the recovery of renal function, reducing the days of hospital stay and costs; as well as reducing the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or progression of CKD after an episode of AKI.

Our main objective is to determine the usefulness of the administration of vitamin B complex as a treatment for established acute kidney injury and its effect on short and long-term outcomes.
