Research is integral to improving outcomes in PrAKI

Have a look at the research we have going on now, and what we have planned for the future

We are always looking for collaborators and sponsors so please reach out

Global PrAKI Survey -

Global PrAKI Survey -

OPEN NOW

This is a global service evaluation aiming to understand the barriers to diagnosis and management of Pregnancy associated Acute Kidney Injury (PrAKI).

The survey is being supported by Action on Preeclampsia International. The International Society of Nephrology is committed to improving the kidney health of pregnant women and strongly supports this initiative.

The survey is open to anyone who provides health care to people who are pregnant, given birth or recently had a baby.

 It will take 10-15 minutes to complete.

The survey is available in 20 languages.

 

A black and white QR code with a circular logo in the center reading 'Global Praki Consortium' and a stylized kidney illustration, with orange text below saying 'SCAN ME' and an arrow pointing to the QR code.

PHOTO REQUEST -

A request for photographs


We are developing a smart phone tool that will calculate the volume of urine in any container just by taking a photograph of the urine. To do this we need to know what containers people are using to measure urine in.

Please can you send us photographs of the containers you commonly use to measure urine volume in. If you are not able to measure urine volume because you don’t have an appropriate container. Please share photographs of any containers you do have access to that you could collect urine in.

Please ensure there is no identifying information or any people in the photographs.

Please send photographs to this whatsapp group

AIMS

Primary:

Establish point incidence of PrAKI in different settings around the world

Secondary:

In different countries and settings:

  • Facilitate creatinine, blood pressure and urine output measurement using point-of-care devices

  • Record risk-factors, aetiologies, diagnosis, management and outcomes of PrAKI

DATA COLLECTION

  • Sites identified through Global Survey

  • 2–4-week data collection period Oct - Nov 2025

  • Data recorded on CDC Epi Info eCRF

DEVICES

Devices have been gifted by Eaglenos and Novabio to facilitate point-of-care creatinine testing in facilities without lab capacity for creatinine testing.

This will enable a true global snapshot.
