Pressure inside the belly during PD for polycystic kidney disease
This study looks at factors that affect the pressure inside the belly (intraperitoneal pressure) in people with polycystic kidney disease who are on peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to better understand how PD works for these patients and help guide their care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06786416Recruiting
Monitoring to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial is testing a new monitoring system that tracks blood flow and other vital signs during heart surgery to help prevent kidney damage afterward.
San Donato Milanese, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07394959Recruiting
Guided hydration to protect kidneys in elderly heart patients
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart procedures to prevent kidney injury. It uses a special vest that measures lung fluid to guide how much hydration you get.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT05638269Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria in people with serious long-term illness
This study looks at the types of gut bacteria in people living in certain parts of China who have serious long-term (chronic) illnesses. The goal is to better understand how gut bacteria differ and may help doctors in the future tailor care.
Chaoyang, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT01644903Recruiting
Checking biomarkers after a liver transplant
This study follows people who are getting a liver transplant (including repeat transplants) to monitor changes in their body using test results. It may help doctors understand how patients are doing after transplant and improve care over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07572669RecruitingPhase 2
Moxibustion for Steroid-Resistant Graft-Versus-Host Disease
This trial tests whether moxibustion—a traditional Chinese medicine technique using heat from burning mugwort—can help treat acute graft-versus-host disease (a complication after bone marrow transplant) that hasn't responded to steroid drugs. If you've had a stem cell transplant and developed this condition that won't go away with standard treatment, this study may be for you.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 14–65 - NCT05283512Recruiting
IV versus drink fluids to protect kidneys after CT scan
This study compares giving fluids through a vein versus drinking fluids to lower the risk of sudden kidney injury after a CT scan with contrast dye. It focuses on adults with very poor kidney function who are scheduled for an elective CT scan.
Odense C, FynAges 18 years+ - NCT07181174Enrolling by invitation
Early prediction of kidney injury after hemorrhagic stroke
This study looks for early signs of kidney injury in people who have had a spontaneous hemorrhagic stroke. It aims to detect kidney problems quickly so they can be treated sooner.
AswānAges 18 years+ - NCT06251713Recruiting
Fluid removal guided by VeXUS score after heart surgery
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
Bron, BronAges 18–85 - NCT06656988RecruitingPhase 3
Saving kidney function during leg artery treatment with carbon dioxide
This trial tests if using carbon dioxide gas instead of standard dye during a leg artery procedure can protect the kidneys. It is for people with blocked leg arteries who also have reduced kidney function.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT07052513RecruitingPhase 2

Study of eloralintide in people with and without kidney problems
This trial tests how the body handles eloralintide in people with different levels of kidney function, including those on dialysis. It may help determine if the drug is safe and effective for patients with kidney issues.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 320 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.
