This study tests whether giving albumin (a protein in the blood) before heart surgery helps protect the kidneys of young children with low albumin levels. It may help reduce the risk of kidney injury after surgery.
Seoul, SeoulAges Up to 7 years - NCT07182422RecruitingPhase 4
AST-120 for kidney protection after acute kidney injury
This trial tests if the drug AST-120 (Kremezin) can help protect your kidneys and slow down further kidney decline after a recent acute kidney injury. It is for people who had a moderate to severe kidney injury during a hospital stay and now have mild to moderate chronic kidney damage.
TaoyuanAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07164833RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a drug to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This study tests a new medicine, BX-001N, to see if it can prevent kidney damage during and after heart surgery for aortic disease. It is for people with moderate kidney problems who are having planned surgery that stops the heart briefly.
DaeguAges 19–90 - NCT04705896RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin for kidney recovery after ICU kidney injury
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a blood protein through an IV) can improve recovery after acute kidney injury in people who are in the ICU and need kidney support treatment. It mainly aims to help the kidneys bounce back better after this serious illness.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07106151Recruiting
Recovering from kidney failure after dialysis in hospital
This study looks at how patients recover from acute kidney injury that needs dialysis after they leave the hospital. It aims to understand and improve care during the transition to outpatient dialysis.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706258RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury after heart surgery with a stomach acid drug
This trial tests whether giving a common stomach acid medication (a proton pump inhibitor) before, during, and after heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury. If you are at moderate to high risk for kidney problems after surgery, this study may be a good fit.
Houston, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT06972082Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided treatment for kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial tests whether using ultrasound guidance (VEXUS) can help prevent or treat acute kidney injury after heart surgery. If you develop kidney problems in the first two days after your operation, you may be able to join.
Athens, KallitheaAges 18 years+ - NCT07088874Recruiting
New markers for kidney injury after nephrectomy
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+ - NCT06349577Recruiting
Bypass machine settings to protect kidneys during heart surgery
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT07073508Recruiting
Ultrasound of kidney arteries in ICU patients with kidney injury
This study uses an ultrasound test to check the blood flow to your kidneys soon after you enter the ICU. It aims to see if this test can help doctors better understand and treat acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT05659589Recruiting
Using a kidney toxin level to predict heart effects in AKI
This study looks at whether measuring indoxyl sulfate, a substance that can build up when kidneys are injured, can help predict how blood vessels and the heart are affected during acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk of heart-related problems while AKI is happening.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07037485Recruiting
Predicting kidney injury after open heart surgery
This trial tests if kidney ultrasound and urine oxygen levels can predict acute kidney injury after open heart surgery. It aims to help doctors catch kidney problems early.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 21 years+ - NCT07030166Recruiting
Predicting kidney injury risk after non-cardiac surgery
This trial uses machine learning to predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after non-cardiac surgery. If you are 18 or older and having this type of surgery, it may help understand your risk and guide care.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT07016074RecruitingPhase 2
Nitrate to prevent kidney injury from contrast dye
This trial tests whether a simple inorganic nitrate pill can protect your kidneys from damage caused by contrast dye used in heart catheterization or CT scans. It is for people whose kidneys are already somewhat weak, making them at higher risk for this type of injury.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05149196Recruiting
Goal-directed fluid and blood pressure plan after kidney surgery
This trial tests a carefully tailored plan for managing blood pressure and fluid during and after kidney removal surgery, to help reduce kidney injury after surgery. It may be especially helpful if you’re having one kidney removed for cancer and your baseline heart/kidney risk is not too high.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06954129RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two antibiotic combos for infection and kidney safety
This trial compares two common antibiotic combinations to see which one is less likely to cause kidney injury in hospitalized patients. You may be eligible if you need treatment with vancomycin plus either piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06954740RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell treatment for acute kidney injury
This study tests a special type of stem cell treatment called mesenchymal stromal cells (Amimestrocel) for patients with acute kidney injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can help kidneys recover better than standard care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06937307RecruitingPhase 2
Droxidopa for low blood pressure in cirrhosis with kidney injury
This trial tests a medication called droxidopa to see if it can raise blood pressure in people with cirrhosis who also have acute kidney injury. If you have low blood pressure and are in the hospital with these conditions, this study may help improve your kidney function.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT06921603Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diuretics for heart failure
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06886464RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury from strong medications with cilastatin
This study tests whether a medicine called cilastatin can prevent kidney damage caused by certain strong medications. If you are receiving one of these medications and are at risk for kidney injury, this trial may offer protection.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06857630Recruiting
Hemoglobin levels and kidney injury in emergency surgery
This trial looks at whether a patient's hemoglobin level (a measure of red blood cells) before emergency surgery can help predict the risk of acute kidney injury afterward. It aims to find if early detection can prevent kidney damage.

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.
