Recruiting studies
- NCT06543940Recruiting
Vancomycin in CRRT with oXiris filter study

Ultrasound test for kidney risk in ARDS patients
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the veins (VExUS) can help predict kidney injury in people with severe breathing problems who are on a breathing machine and receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
Créteil, Val de MarneAges 18–100 - NCT04033224Recruiting
Blood-filter treatments for ICU patients with kidney and organ failure
This trial tests a specific type of blood-filter treatment in critically ill ICU patients who have acute kidney injury and/or failure of other organs. It aims to see whether these filters can improve care by supporting kidney function and/or calming harmful inflammation.
Empoli, FirenzeAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07294859Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict kidney function after kidney removal
This trial uses special ultrasound techniques to predict how well your remaining kidney will work after surgery to remove part or all of one kidney. It may help doctors understand your recovery and tailor follow-up care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06908746Recruiting
Citrate Anticoagulation in Dialysis for Liver and Kidney Failure
This trial looks at whether a blood thinner called citrate is safe and effective in patients who have both kidney and liver failure while on continuous dialysis in the ICU. It may help guide treatment for people with serious organ problems.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 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+ - NCT06917859RecruitingPhase 1
Steroid to protect kidneys during heart surgery
This trial is testing whether a single dose of the steroid methylprednisolone, given before heart surgery, can protect your kidneys from damage during the operation. If you qualify, you'll receive the drug or a placebo, and your kidney function will be monitored closely.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 18–65 - NCT07203131Recruiting
NAD+ metabolism and kidney risk in intensive care
This trial tests whether changes in NAD+ (a natural molecule in your cells) affect kidney health during intensive care. It aims to predict and prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk.
TrappesAges 18 years+ - NCT07197957Recruiting
Using a blood test to detect kidney injury from contrast dye
This study tests if a simple blood test (cystatin) can detect kidney damage earlier in people with chronic kidney disease who receive contrast dye for imaging. It could help doctors act faster to protect kidneys.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07030179Recruiting
Frailty, kidney injury, and blood pressure in non-cardiac surgery
This study looks at whether a patient's level of frailty (overall weakness and health before surgery) affects their risk of acute kidney injury after non-cardiac surgery, and whether blood pressure changes during surgery play a role in that link.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05855954Recruiting
Early kidney protection during heart surgery
This trial looks at whether a specific heart-surgery technique (called CLCVP) can help protect kidney function soon after surgery. It is mainly for adults with otherwise normal kidney tests before certain types of heart operations.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07022314Recruiting
Monitoring urine output in cardiac ICU patients
This trial tests a new device that tracks urine output after heart surgery to see how the body responds to fluids and diuretics. It may help doctors manage your recovery more closely.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT06802224RecruitingPhase 4
Medication to prevent kidney injury after major surgery
This study compares two medications given during surgery to see which one better protects the kidneys after the procedure. If you are having major non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and you need medication to support your blood pressure, this trial may be a good fit.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06705855Recruiting
Predicting kidney injury after heart surgery using skin sensors
This study tests whether a special light-based monitor on your skin (near your kidney and arm) can predict kidney injury after heart surgery. It aims to help doctors protect your kidneys during and after the procedure.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06620523RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury after heart bypass surgery
This trial tests whether combining two natural supplements (CoQ10 and glutathione) can protect your kidneys during heart bypass surgery. It may help prevent acute kidney injury, a common complication after these procedures.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–70 - 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.

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.
