Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
Acute kidney injury, where the kidneys suddenly become unable to function properly, is a serious complication that can occur during hip fracture surgery in the elderly. This could be due to a number of factors, and this study aims to see whether it may be due to poor fluid intake by the patient (preoperative dehydration) and the choice of infusion fluid (crystalloid or hyperoncotic colloid) used during the operation.
Who can participate?
Adults aged between 70-90 years with a hip fracture and scheduled for surgery.
What does the study involve?
Each patient is randomly chosen to receive either crystalloid or hyperoncotic colloid at the start of the operation. Urine and blood samples will also be taken three times during the course of the day of the surgery.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
All patients will benefit from having their blood circulation monitored using a non-invasive apparatus called the Nexfin. Hyperoncotic colloid can cause fluid to collect in the lungs of susceptible patients, but this is minimized by giving only a small amount of the fluid and also by doing so at the point when the anaesthesia is given; this causes the blood vessels to widen (vasodilation)
Where is the study run from?

| Scientific title | Kidney injury during hip fracture surgery: a randomized study between crystalloid and colloid fluid and the influence of preoperative dehydration |
| Study acronym | KIHF |
| Study objectives | Kidney injury that develops during acute hip fracture surgery can be related to preoperative dehydration and/or to the use of albumin 20% for plasma volume support |
| Ethics approval(s) | Regional Ethics Committee of Stockholm, 02/04/2014, ref. 2014/497-31/4 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Hip fracture surgery |
| Intervention | Patients are randomized to receive either 100 ml of Ringer´s acetate solution or 100 ml of 20% albumin during the induction of anaesthesia. Blood and urine sampling is performed on three occasions on the day of surgery. |
| Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Changes in urine markers of kidney injury (NGAL, microglobulin, albumin, creatinine and erythrocytes). Urine sampled at baseline and 4 hours after surgery has ended |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
1. The effect of albumin and crystalloid fluid on the colloid osmotic pressure, measured at baseline, the beginning of the surgery, and 4 hours after the surgery |
| Completion date | 30/09/2015 |
| Reason abandoned (if study stopped) | Lack of staff/facilities/resources |
