This study looks at whether blood sugar levels (HbA1c) before surgery are linked to kidney problems after coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how to reduce risks for people with diabetes or high blood sugar.
BursaAges 18 years+ - NCT06341062Recruiting
Ultrasound test for kidney injury in the ICU
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05325099RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Azacitidine to help prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This early-phase study tests whether azacitidine (a medication that changes how cells read genes) can lower the risk of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery, especially in people already at risk along the chronic kidney disease (CKD) pathway. It aims to protect kidney function during the vulnerable period after surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07368712Recruiting
Study of kidney function in healthy people and those with kidney issues
This study looks at how the kidneys work in both healthy people and those with reduced kidney function. Researchers want to understand kidney health better to help people in the future.
BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT07351149Recruiting
Study on kidney injury after major surgery in children
This trial looks at how often children develop kidney problems after major surgery that isn't on the heart or kidneys. The goal is to learn more about these injuries and how to prevent them.
Perth, Western AustraliaAges birth–16 years - NCT07346118Recruiting
Guided fluid management in severe kidney failure using ultrasound
This study tests a new way to manage fluids in patients with acute kidney injury who are receiving a type of dialysis called continuous renal replacement therapy. The method uses ultrasound to check blood flow in the veins and kidneys to guide fluid decisions, which may help recovery.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07338669Recruiting
Hamburg study on acute kidney injury in hospitalized adults
This study follows hospitalized adults with or without acute kidney injury to learn more about the condition. You may join if you are 18 or older and can give consent.
HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07326215Recruiting
A study of a device that removes carbon dioxide from the blood
This trial tests a device called PrismaLung+ that helps remove extra carbon dioxide from the blood of patients on breathing machines. It may help people whose lungs are struggling despite gentle ventilation settings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04750616RecruitingPhase 2
NAD+ for heart injury prevention around non-emergency surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding NAD+ can reduce heart muscle injury around scheduled heart surgery. It may help protect the heart (and possibly kidneys) in people considered higher risk for complications.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05694624Recruiting
Study of sepsis-related kidney injury monitoring
This trial looks at acute kidney injury that can happen during sepsis (a serious body-wide infection or suspected infection). It may help improve how doctors detect and manage kidney problems early, especially in intensive care or around major surgery.
Tromsø, TromsAges 18–100 - NCT07262320Recruiting
Kidney treatment in Latin American ICUs
This study looks at how dialysis (renal replacement therapy) is used for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) with severe acute kidney injury in Latin America. Your participation can help improve care for people with kidney problems.
CochabambaAges 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+ - NCT06898944Recruiting
Acute Kidney Injury: Risk Factors and Outlook
This study looks back at adults who visited certain hospitals in South Korea to understand what leads to acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) and how it affects recovery. It compares people who had this condition with similar people who did not, to identify risk factors.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT06291714Recruiting
Non-invasive blood pressure prediction during major surgery
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to predict drops in blood pressure during major hip, knee, pelvis, or spine surgery. The goal is to help doctors prevent low blood pressure, which can lead to complications.
GiessenAges 45 years+ - NCT07231939Recruiting
Testing diabetes drugs to protect kidneys after heart procedures
This study is testing whether a class of diabetes medicines called SGLT2 inhibitors (specifically empagliflozin or dapagliflozin) can prevent kidney injury after heart procedures that use contrast dye.
BydgoszczAges 18 years+ - NCT07232277Recruiting
Vein congestion and kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial looks at how fluid buildup in veins might relate to kidney injury after planned heart surgery. It aims to find ways to prevent kidney damage. Participants must be having planned (non-emergency) heart surgery, be 18 or older, and have healthy kidneys and overall health.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07236463RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Iron chelator in dialysis fluid for sepsis-related kidney injury
This trial tests if adding an iron chelator (MEX-CD1) to the dialysis fluid can help remove harmful iron from the blood in patients with sepsis-related acute kidney injury who need continuous dialysis. It may reduce damage to the kidneys and other organs.
Nîmes, GardAges 18 years+ - NCT07215702RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a drug for kidney injury from sepsis in the ICU

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute kidney injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 197 recruiting acute kidney injury 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 injury 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 injury 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.
