Comprehensive Acute Kidney Injury Survivor Care: Protocol for the Randomized Acute Kidney Injury in Care Transitions Pilot Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Innovative care models are needed to address gaps in kidney care follow-up among acute kidney injury (AKI) survivors. We developed the multidisciplinary AKI in Care Transitions (ACT) program, which embeds post-AKI care in patients' primary care clinic.

Objective

The objective of this randomized pilot trial is to test the feasibility and acceptability of the ACT program and study protocol, including recruitment and retention, procedures, and outcome measures.

Methods

The study will be conducted at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, a tertiary care center with a local primary care practice. Individuals who are included have stage 3 AKI during their hospitalization, do not require dialysis at discharge, have a local primary care provider, and are discharged
