This study looks at new markers in blood or urine to help predict kidney injury after surgery to remove a kidney. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your remaining kidney after surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07273838RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor for acute heart and kidney failure
This study tests whether a medicine called an SGLT2 inhibitor (which lowers blood sugar and helps the kidneys) can improve outcomes for people with acute heart failure and kidney problems. Participation involves taking the study drug or a placebo for a short time.

Evaluation of patients with liver disease
This research study evaluates people with liver disease or at risk for liver disease, and compares them with healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand liver disease and improve how doctors diagnose and treat it.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT06712654RecruitingPhase 2
Testing AP306 for high phosphate in dialysis patients
This trial tests a new medication called AP306 for people on hemodialysis who have high blood phosphate. It aims to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and helps lower phosphate levels.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07631221Recruiting
Protein Amount in Nutrition for Critically Ill Kidney Patients
This study tests whether different amounts of protein in tube feeding or IV nutrition affect kidney recovery in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with kidney injury. The goal is to find the best protein level to help kidneys heal while patients are critically ill.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT06243068Enrolling by invitation
Supporting decisions about kidney care without dialysis
This study helps people with advanced chronic kidney disease explore their care options, including the choice to manage without dialysis. It provides support and information to help you and your family make a decision that fits your values.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT05715814RecruitingPhase 3
Test diabetes-pill type medicine on kidney dialysis safety
This Phase 3 trial studies the safety of an SGLT2 inhibitor (a diabetes medication that can affect kidney fluid handling) in people on peritoneal dialysis. The goal is to see how the treatment works in your type of dialysis and whether it causes any problems.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07203287RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing muscle relaxants in kidney disease patients during surgery
This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06585722Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict kidney injury in ICU patients
This study uses a special ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins (called venous congestion) and see if it is linked to kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors understand how to prevent kidney problems during critical illness.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07026539RecruitingPhase 4
Finerenone for heart and kidney health in type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether adding finerenone to your current diabetes medications can better protect your heart and kidneys. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who already take an SGLT2 inhibitor and an ACE inhibitor or ARB.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT07230847Recruiting
Healing of drug-coated vs. standard stents in high-bleeding-risk patients
This trial compares two types of stents (a drug-coated stent and a standard drug-eluting stent) in people with acute coronary syndrome who also have a high risk of bleeding. It uses a special camera to look at how the artery heals one month after the stent is placed.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute kidney disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 319 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.
