CSA-AKI is a huge burden to patients and the entire healthcare system
CSA-AKI is associated with reduced blood flow and oxygen deprivation that comes with cardiac surgery. While cardiac surgery has over a 95% success rate, collateral damage to the kidneys is observed in one third of procedures.

Current standard of care involves manually logging urine output
The standard of care has limited efficacy in preventing CS-AKI as current protocols involve passive monitoring of urine output in collection bags, then compensating with IV fluids. This process is labor-intensive and it frequently allows for intervention only after the damage is done. Industry guidelines to improve AKI outcomes, such as KDIGO, have shown insufficient results: a mere 10% improvement.
The system uniquely responds to minute fluctuations in urine production and output, automatically adjusting the administration of IV fluids in milliliter increments. The patient remains hemodynamically stable, preventing both over- and under-hydration. The device is comprised of a Console and a Single Use Set for infusion and urine collection. Its straightforward interface allows seamless integration into the clinical workflow after brief training.
AKI is defined by CMS as a“Hospital Harm” that requires monitoring and reporting, starting 2025
RenalPro closes the loop in renal care by automatically balancing the fluids into and out of the kidneys
RenalPro Therapy is groundbreaking because it autonomously bundles fluid management and therapeutic systems that elegantly integrate into the clinical workflow.
The system is unique in its ability to respond to minute fluctuations in the production and output of urine, automatically adjusting the administration of IV fluids in milliliter increments. The patient is kept hemodynamically stable, preventing over- or under-hydration.
