Immune Evaluation for Postoperative Sepsis-AKI

This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study plans to enroll over 800 patients with postoperative sepsis from the ICUs of two tertiary hospitals in Beijing. The study will establish a clinical database and biobank for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), characterize clinical and immune phenotypes, and develop an immune evaluation system. Using multi-omics and single-cell sequencing, we aim to identify novel immune biomarker panels and explore early warning and risk-stratification strategies based on immune profiling.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with active malignancy undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeted therapy; patients with immune diseases receiving immunosuppressive or targeted agents; or patients who developed neutropenia/lymphopenia prior to sepsis onset due to hematologic disorders or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy;

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of AKI within 7 days after ICU admission

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Day 7 after enrollment

    AKI incidence is calculated as the number of patients who develop AKI divided by the total number of enrolled patients. AKI will be diagnosed and staged according to KDIGO 2012 criteria, based on serum creatinine and urine output measurements.

Secondary outcomes

  1. 28-Day All-Cause Mortality After Enrollment

    Time frame: From Day 1 through Day 28 after enrollment

    All-cause mortality within 28 days after enrollment, calculated as the number of patients who die during Days 1-28 divided by the total number of enrolled patients. Vital status will be ascertained through medical records or follow-up telephone calls.
