Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fluid overload and congestion are common features in patients with heart failure and are associated with negative clinical outcomes. Therapies for these conditions are diuretic-centered but frequently fail to achieve patient-adequate hydration status, prompting the use of extracorporeal ultrafiltration. Artificial Diuresis 1 (AD1) is a miniaturized, portable, and wearable system designed to deliver isolated ultrafiltration with the finest degree of simplicity and practicality. METHODS/DESIGN Single-center, crossover, randomized, open-label pilot study to investigate the safety and the efficacy (concerning ultrafiltration accuracy) of extracorporeal ultrafiltration with the device AD1 in comparison to isolated ultrafiltration with a traditional machine (PrisMaX). Patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5D (on hemodialysis) or intensive care patients presenting acute kidney injury stage 3D (requiring hemodialysis) will carry out a single session of isolated ultrafiltration with each of the machines. The safety primary outcomes will be the occurrence of adverse events. The efficacy primary outcome will be the accuracy of ultrafiltration rate (delivered/prescribed) on each of the devices. CONCLUSION AD1 is a novel miniaturized device for extracorporeal ultrafiltration. This study will be the first-in-human use of AD1 in patients with fluid overload.
