In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Acute kidney injury is a well-recognized complication in critically ill patients. Up to date there is no clinically established method to reduce the incidence or the severity of acute kidney injury. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) will be induced by three cycles of upper limb ischemia. The aim of the study is to reduce the incidence of AKI by implementing remote ischemic preconditioning (identified by the urinary biomarkers tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7(IGFBP7)
