This trial tests whether a supplement made from green propolis (a natural bee product) and royal jelly can help people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if the supplement can improve kidney health and blood pressure control.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–75 - NCT04404114Recruiting
Shear wave ultrasound to tell acute from chronic kidney disease
This study checks whether a special ultrasound can help tell whether kidney problems started suddenly (acute) or have been present longer (chronic). It may help doctors choose the right next steps faster in the emergency room.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05870007Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Atorvastatin and alkalizing treatment for autosomal dominant PKD
This Phase 2 study tests whether atorvastatin plus an “alkalizing” treatment (sodium bicarbonate) can slow or improve disease effects in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It specifically targets metabolic acidosis (when the body becomes “too acidic”), which may worsen kidney health.
New Taipei CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05728216Recruiting
Using a special eye-scan to study kidney biopsy samples
This study tests whether a noninvasive “eye-scan” during a kidney biopsy can help doctors tell the difference between acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. If it works, it may improve how kidney problems are diagnosed in routine practice.
Chalon-sur-Saône, Saône-et-LoireAges 18 years+ - NCT05318196Recruiting
Predict kidney disease risk and progression from patient data
This trial looks at ways to predict how kidney disease may develop, change, or cause complications using information from patients. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk and tailor care earlier.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT05161078Enrolling by invitation
Studies CARPEDIEM care for newborns and babies in participating hospitals
This trial looks at how to improve outcomes for newborns and infants who receive CARPEDIEM as part of routine hospital care. It aims to see whether an interdisciplinary team approach can make treatment safer and more effective.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04343417Enrolling by invitation
Kidney biopsy study that stores samples for research
This study collects and stores kidney biopsy samples (and related information) to help researchers understand kidney diseases. You may be able to join if you are already scheduled for a kidney biopsy and can consent.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–99 - NCT05266092Recruiting
Study kidney disease immune system activity in dialysis patients
This study looks at how the body’s defense systems (immune system and related signals) behave in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand what is driving inflammation and related complications in dialysis patients.
OdenseAges 18 years+ - NCT03054142Recruiting
Study tracking kidney injury using blood creatinine changes
This study looks at people with acute (sudden) kidney injury, based on changes in a blood test called creatinine. By tracking these patterns during hospitalization, it may help improve how acute kidney injury is identified and managed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT05071131Recruiting
Inulin supplement to improve gut health in kidney disease
This trial studies whether taking inulin—a dietary fiber—can improve gut bacteria and the gut barrier in people with end-stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. It may help reduce gut-related problems that can affect overall health in kidney disease.
BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT06501222Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for kidney protection in CKD
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIC) can help protect the kidneys of people with chronic kidney disease. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to one arm using a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's own protective response.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07753993RecruitingPhase 3
Study of elecoglipron for chronic kidney disease
This trial tests an investigational medicine called elecoglipron for people with chronic kidney disease. It aims to see if it can improve kidney health compared to a placebo (inactive pill) and may be an option for those already on standard blood pressure and kidney protective medications.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07734636RecruitingPhase 4
Restarting blood pressure meds after kidney injury
This study tests whether safely restarting a common blood pressure or kidney medicine (an ACE inhibitor or ARB) after a kidney injury can help protect your kidneys and heart. It might be a good option if your kidney function is improving and you aren't on dialysis.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07729683Recruiting
Testing wakame seaweed for kidney disease patients
This study tests whether eating a daily dose of wakame seaweed can lower certain waste products (AGEs) in your blood that build up with kidney disease. It's for people with moderate chronic kidney disease who are already on standard protective medications.
La RochelleAges 18–90 - NCT07625553RecruitingPhase 2
Relaxin Agonist to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
This study tests whether a drug called R2R01 can help protect your kidneys during major heart surgery. Heart surgery can sometimes damage the kidneys, and this trial is looking to see if this new medication reduces that risk.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07613593Recruiting
Digital kidney disease care platform evaluation study
This study evaluates whether MyRenalCare, a digital platform that helps patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) monitor and manage their condition, improves health outcomes and patient experience. Researchers will compare people using the platform with those receiving standard care, and interview patients and staff about their experiences.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT03711617Recruiting
Study of waste products and outcomes in chronic kidney disease
This study looks at “uremic toxins,” which are waste products that build up when kidney function is reduced, and how they relate to health outcomes in people with chronic kidney disease. The results may help doctors better understand what to monitor and target to improve care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06472999Recruiting
Kidney protection in critically ill ICU patients
This trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT07464431RecruitingPhase 4
Sodium bicarbonate for metabolic acidosis and kidney injury
This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate helps critically ill patients who have both metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the blood) and acute kidney injury (sudden kidney trouble). It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 305 recruiting acute kidney disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute kidney disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute kidney disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
