BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06696235RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing fast vs standard kidney therapy for heart shock patients on ECMO
This trial tests whether starting kidney replacement therapy faster or at the usual time improves outcomes for people with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) and develop sudden kidney injury.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT03629977Recruiting
Timing dialysis in critically ill ICU patients
This study looks at the best timing for starting kidney support treatment (dialysis) in very sick people in the ICU. It may help improve outcomes by comparing different start times.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06440759Recruiting
Filter Comparison for Septic Shock with Kidney Failure
This study compares two types of filters used during continuous kidney replacement therapy in patients with septic shock and severe acute kidney injury. The goal is to see which filter works better and is safer.
Kubang Kerian, KelantanAges 18 years+ - NCT06446739Recruiting
Low-dose vs standard-dose kidney therapy for ICU patients
This study compares two different doses of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT, a type of dialysis) for patients in the intensive care unit with acute kidney injury. It aims to find out if a lower dose is as safe and effective as the standard dose.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05988658Recruiting
Using scores and biomarkers to predict kidney injury in hospital patients
This study uses a risk score and blood tests to predict which hospitalized patients might develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage). If you are at high risk, researchers will follow you closely to see if early detection can help prevent serious kidney problems.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04144894Recruiting
Kidney ultrasound and health measurements for people without diabetes or high blood pressure
This trial looks at how well a “kidney ultrasound index” (a measurement from an ultrasound and health factors) can reflect kidney health. It may help researchers better understand which people are most likely to stay healthy and who may be at risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 19 years+ - NCT06369064Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods for kidney injury in the ICU
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
NîmesAges 18 years+ - NCT03329313RecruitingPhase 2
Adjusting dialysis salt levels for ICU kidney injury
This study tests whether using a specific salt (sodium) level in the dialysis fluid affects outcomes for adults in the ICU with sudden kidney failure. It may help your care team optimize dialysis settings during acute kidney injury.
Montpellier, MontpellierAges 18–80 - NCT06179771Recruiting
Filter during dialysis or ECMO for severe illness
This study tests a special filter (HA380 column) used during dialysis or ECMO to remove harmful substances from the blood. It is for critically ill patients with severe infection, injury, or breathing problems who also need kidney or lung support.
Leicester, LeicestershireAges 18–65 - NCT06150742Recruiting
Nafamostat for dialysis patients who can't use heparin
This trial tests a new medicine called nafamostat to prevent blood clots during continuous dialysis (CRRT), for people who are at high risk of bleeding or can't take heparin.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06038162Recruiting
Kidney treatment for patients on ECMO
This study compares two ways of giving kidney dialysis to patients who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It aims to find which method works better for filtering the blood.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05906758RecruitingPhase 3
Test ultra-low contrast heart imaging in kidney injury
This trial tests whether using a much smaller amount of contrast dye for an invasive heart scan is safer for people with acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help reduce further kidney stress while still allowing doctors to look at coronary (heart) arteries.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18–100 - NCT05836922Recruiting
Checking kidney oxygen after lung transplant to predict kidney injury
This pilot study looks at whether a painless skin sensor can measure kidney oxygen levels after lung transplant surgery. The goal is to predict and possibly prevent postoperative kidney failure by identifying risk early.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05805709Recruiting
COPE-AKI: A care plan for people hospitalized with serious AKI
This trial tests a patient-centered plan for how care is organized and communicated for people hospitalized with serious, persistent kidney injury (AKI). The goal is to improve the experience and possibly outcomes by making care more consistent and easier to follow.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04936607Recruiting
Protecting kidney health after heart angiograms or stents
This study looks at ways to improve kidney outcomes after a coronary angiogram and/or stent procedure. If you’re having one of these heart procedures and your kidneys aren’t already severely affected, the study may help reduce the risk of kidney worsening around the time of the procedure.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04982419RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Remote arm treatment to protect heart and kidneys in heart failure
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05399537RecruitingPhase 3
Testing citrate fluid safety during kidney filtration (CRRT)
This Phase 3 study checks whether Prismocitrate 18 is safe for adults who need a kidney filtration treatment called CRRT. It is mainly for people who cannot safely use heparin (a common blood thinner) due to bleeding risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03541785Enrolling by invitation
Using NGAL to guide fluids and start kidney-filtering in children
This study tests whether measuring a urine protein called NGAL can help doctors choose the right fluid amount and decide when to start a kidney-filtering treatment called CRRT in critically ill children with kidney injury. If it works, it may help treat kidney problems sooner and more safely.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–25 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.
