Recruiting studies
- NCT04279457RecruitingPhase 4
Test whether special dye helps protect kidney function during heart procedures
This trial studies whether a device called Dye-Vert Plus can lower the risk of kidney injury from contrast dye during heart catheter procedures (CAG and/or PCI). It focuses on people at higher kidney risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
Charleston, West VirginiaAges 18–90 - NCT04669548Recruiting
Accuryn monitoring study for people having heart surgery

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06180551Recruiting
Early kidney injury detection study in the ICU
This study tests a new way to diagnose acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) early in intensive care patients. It may help doctors catch kidney problems sooner and improve care.

Kidney risk after low-blood-pressure anesthesia for jaw surgery
This study looks at factors that may increase the risk of kidney injury during jaw surgery when a special low-blood-pressure anesthesia technique is used. It helps doctors understand who is more likely to have complications.
Kaohsiung City, Sanmin DistAges 18–65 - NCT07811570Recruiting
Finding early signs of kidney damage after heart surgery
This study looks for early signs in your blood or urine that can predict if you might develop kidney damage after heart or blood vessel surgery. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can protect their kidneys.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07811544Enrolling by invitation
Immune system study for sepsis-related kidney injury after surgery
This study looks at how the immune system responds in patients who develop sepsis after surgery and how it relates to kidney injury. It aims to help improve care for conditions like this.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07807410Recruiting
Special dialysis filter for septic shock with kidney failure
This study tests whether using a special filter (oXiris) during dialysis can better remove harmful toxins from the blood in people with septic shock and kidney failure, potentially helping them recover faster.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07749417Recruiting
Detecting kidney injury early after heart procedures
This study tests a new light-based method to check kidney function right after heart surgery or imaging tests that use contrast dye. It aims to catch kidney damage early, so doctors can treat it sooner.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06570187RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine for kidney protection in sepsis
This trial tests if dexmedetomidine, a sedative, can help protect the kidneys of critically ill patients with sepsis who develop acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube or mask within 48 hours of kidney injury.
CairoAges 18–90 - NCT07718464Recruiting
AKI risk test for children in the ICU
This study tests a new way to find children in the pediatric ICU who are at risk for serious kidney injury early, so doctors can start treatment sooner. Your child's kidney stress markers will be checked from a blood or urine sample.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT07685587Recruiting
Comparing two types of ureteral access sheaths for kidney stone surgery
This trial compares two methods used during surgery to treat kidney stones. It looks at whether one type of tube (a fan-shaped access sheath) causes less kidney injury after surgery than the standard tube. This could help patients have a safer recovery.
TekirdağAges 18 years+ - NCT05346393Recruiting
TIPS procedure for kidney failure in people with cirrhosis
This trial studies whether a liver procedure called TIPS can help people with cirrhosis who develop sudden kidney failure (HRS-AKI). It aims to improve kidney function and overall outcomes, but participation depends on several safety checks.
AachenAges 18–80 - NCT07638306Recruiting
Neck Vein Ultrasound and Kidney Function After Abdominal Surgery
This study uses ultrasound to look at a vein in your neck before and after major abdominal surgery to understand how surgery affects your kidneys. Researchers hope this simple imaging technique might help predict and prevent kidney problems after surgery.
Târgu Mureş, Mureș CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07635160Recruiting
Kidney Blood Flow Monitoring During Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery
This research study tests two imaging methods—ultrasound and a special light-based scanner—to monitor how well your kidneys receive blood during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal is to understand kidney function better during this type of operation.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT05344573Recruiting
Testing better blood-flow rhythms during heart bypass surgery
This trial studies ways to control the “pulsatility” (how the blood pressure pulses during circulation) while you are on a heart-lung bypass machine. It may help improve safety and heart function during planned heart surgery.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 50–70 - NCT07627880Recruiting
Kidney Stone Blockage: Best Drainage Method Before Removal
This study compares two ways to drain urine when a kidney stone completely blocks the ureter (the tube from kidney to bladder) in patients with only one working kidney. After your kidney recovers, doctors will remove the stone using a minimally invasive camera procedure.
Banī Suwayf, Beni Suweif GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06021288Recruiting
Standard vs. lower dose dialysis for kidney failure in intensive care
This trial compares the usual dose of continuous dialysis with a lower dose to see if a lower dose is just as safe and effective for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT00948116Recruiting
Blood and urine tests to predict kidney injury in diabetes
This study checks whether a set of blood and urine tests can predict “acute kidney injury” (a sudden worsening of kidney function) earlier in people with diabetes who are undergoing a heart procedure. If the tests work, they may help doctors spot kidney trouble sooner and protect your kidneys.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06714214Recruiting
Predicting when you can stop kidney dialysis
This trial studies whether a blood test called delta C-cistatin can help doctors predict when patients can safely stop continuous kidney dialysis after acute kidney injury.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05830669Recruiting
Remote preconditioning therapy for newly sick sepsis patients
This trial studies whether a “remote preconditioning” treatment given during early sepsis can help protect the kidneys and improve outcomes. It is for adults in the ICU very soon after sepsis begins.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT07514650Recruiting
Citrate Blood Thinner Safety in Critical Kidney Care
This study tests whether a specific blood-thinning method using citrate works safely and effectively in critically ill patients whose kidneys have suddenly stopped working and need a special filtering machine. Researchers want to confirm that this approach prevents dangerous blood clots while keeping patients safe.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06543940Recruiting
Vancomycin in CRRT with oXiris filter study
This study looks at how the antibiotic vancomycin behaves in the blood of patients who are on a special type of kidney support (CRRT) using the oXiris filter. It aims to help doctors dose vancomycin more accurately for patients in the ICU.
Bangkok, PayathiAges 18 years+ - NCT06341933Recruiting
Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.

Comparing low vs standard dialysis in ICU patients
This trial compares a lower dose versus a standard dose of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI — sudden kidney failure). It aims to see if lower doses are safe and effective.

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.
