Heart, kidney, and metabolic health assessment study
This trial offers a health assessment and empowerment program for adults who have heart, kidney, or metabolic conditions like diabetes or heart disease. It aims to help you better manage your health.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07549243Enrolling by invitation
Ear Nerve Stimulation to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to your ear can help protect your kidneys during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. Kidney damage after this type of surgery is common, and researchers want to see if this non-invasive stimulation can prevent it.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07490808Recruiting
Hydration to protect kidneys after atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial tests if giving extra fluids before, during, and after a new type of heart procedure (pulsed field ablation) can prevent kidney injury. If you have atrial fibrillation and are scheduled for this ablation, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07258875Recruiting
Using ultrasound to guide fluids during lung surgery
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06916585RecruitingPhase 2
Testing AS1501 for acute-on-chronic liver failure
This trial tests a new drug called AS1501 for people with acute-on-chronic liver failure (a sudden worsening of chronic liver disease). It aims to see if the drug can help improve liver function and reduce the need for a liver transplant. You may be eligible if you are in the early or middle stage of this condition and have a specific blood marker (high TRAIL level).
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07099885Recruiting
Urine test to guide water pill treatment for heart failure
This study tests a simple urine test to help doctors choose the best dose of water pills (diuretics) for people hospitalized with heart failure and leg swelling. The goal is to relieve congestion faster and more safely.
Wroclaw, DolnosląskieAges 18 years+ - NCT05597540RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter antibiotics for kidney transplant kidney infections
This study compares giving antibiotics for 7 days versus 14 days to treat acute kidney infections (pyelonephritis) in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see if the shorter course works just as well and is safer or easier to complete.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT04705766Recruiting
Study kidney injury after recent COVID infection
This study looks at how COVID can affect the kidneys soon after infection. You may be able to participate if you recently tested positive for COVID and have not had kidney replacement treatments.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05397392Recruiting
Diagnosis and treatment plan for heart–kidney problems
This study looks at the best way to diagnose and treat different types of heart-and-kidney problems that happen together. It may help you (or your caregiver) get the right classification and treatment approach based on how your heart and kidneys are affected.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT05696652Recruiting
Exercise training study for people with heart failure

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute kidney failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 125 recruiting acute kidney failure 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 failure 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 failure 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.
