Translational Research Investigating Biomarkers and Endpoints for Acute Kidney Injury (TRIBE-AKI) Consortium.

• All are referred to follow this consortium for studies which are published in last 2 years. The cohort of children prospectively enrolled from 3 pediatric sites: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Montreal Children’s Hospital, and Yale New-Haven Children’s Hospital as part of the consortium investigating new biomarkers in AKI is known as the Translational Research Investigating Biomarker Endpoints in Acute Kidney Injury (TRIBE-AKI).

Look out for the ASSESS-AKI Study Results

• The Assessment, Serial Evaluation, and Subsequent Sequelae of Acute Kidney Injury (ASSESS-AKI) Study was established to examine how a hospitalized episode of AKI independently affects the risk of chronic kidney disease development and progression, cardiovascular events, death, and other important patient-centered outcomes. This prospective study will enroll a cohort of 1100 adult participants with a broad range of AKI and matched hospitalized participants without AKI at three Clinical Research Centers, as well as 100 children undergoing cardiac surgery at three Clinical Research Centers.
