Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intravenous 4% succinylated gelatine fluid at a dose of at least 500mL, to be delivered over less than 60 minutes, Exact dose will be determined by treating physician. The study fluid will also be used for any further fluid boluses required within the next 24-hour period, up to a maximum of 50mL/kg or 3000mL. Any fluid required for blood volume expansion beyond 24 hours is open-label; however, the use of gelatine will be not allowed for 7 days post-enrolment. Other crystalloid fluids or blood products may be used for purposes other than blood volume expansion, such as maintenance requirements or transfusion. Use of albumin solution is also permitted, if specifically indicated. Volume and type of all fluids delivered with 7 days of enrolment, or until ICU discharge, will be recorded.
Intervention code [1] 299088 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Intravenous compound sodium lactate at a dose of at least 500mL, to be delivered over less than 60 minutes, Exact dose will be determined by treating physician. The study fluid will also be used for any further fluid boluses required within the next 24-hour period, up to a maximum of 50mL/kg or 3000mL.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Numbered sealed envelope
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomised block design of 4 blocks per treatment arm (2x4, 2x6) generated by statistical package software (Stata, College Station, TX, USA).

Safety
Statistical methods / analysis
Change in biomarker concentration over time will be compared between the placebo and GELO groups using a linear treatment effects model with propensity scoring adjustment for APACHE II score and admission diagnosis group. For biomarkers with skewed distributions that are resistant to successful transformation, quantile regression will be employed to compare differences over time. Ordinal logistic regression methods will be used for testing differences in maximum AKI stage, and logistic regression for differences in binary clinical outcomes.
