Effects of Increasing Mean Arterial Pressure on Renal Function in Patients With Shock and With Elevated Central Venous Pressure (MAPAKI)

March 31, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Angers

Effects of Increasing Mean Arterial Pressure on Renal Function in Patients With Shock and With Elevated Central Venous Pressure : a Pilot Study for the Individualization of Mean Arterial Pressure

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a higher mean arterial pressure on renal function for patients with shock and elevated central venous pressure.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Current recommandation for mean arterial pressure (MAP) target is 65 mmHg for septic shock, but optimal target to prevent acute renal failure (ARF) remains unknown.

High central venous pressure (CVP) can lead to acute renal failure through venous congestion , and is associated with acute renal failure in intensive care unit.

A decrease of renal perfusion pressure, defined by MAP - CVP, has been shown to be associated with risk of acute renal failure.

The main objective of this trial is to evaluate if an optimisation of renal perfusion pressure, by a higher MAP when CVP is high (≥ 12 cmH2O), can improve renal function.

In this interventional monocenter trial, each patient will be evaluated during 2 consecutive periods of 6 hours, with a temporary MAP target

  • Target at 65-70mmHg during 6 hours
  • Target at 80-85mmHg during 6 hours

Patients will be randomized into two groups to define the order of targets. There will be a stratification on previous arterial hypertension. Renal function will be measured at the end of each period.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes of creatinine clearance
Time Frame: At 6 hours and at 12 hours

Creatinine clearance is calculated with the formula UV/P as follow :
