Recruiting studies
- 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.

Genetics and kidney disease progression study
This study looks at how genetics affect the progression of kidney diseases. Joining may help researchers understand your condition better and find better treatments.
MilanAges 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06804200Recruiting
Predicting acute kidney injury in children in the ICU
This study is testing a way to predict acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) in children admitted to intensive care. It looks at early signs to help doctors act sooner, which might prevent further kidney issues.
Rochester, New YorkAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT06805409Recruiting
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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT07569588Recruiting
Understanding kidney injury recovery after hospitalization
This study helps doctors better assess how well kidneys recover after acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function during hospitalization). You may be asked to participate in interviews, workshops, or have some medical measurements taken to help improve patient care.
Derby, DerbyshireAges 18–85 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for aki?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 47 recruiting aki 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 aki 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 aki 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.
