Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 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+ - NCT07596043Recruiting
Higher protein for intensive care patients with kidney failure
This study compares giving a higher amount of protein to a standard amount in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure who need dialysis. The goal is to see if more protein helps recovery.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 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+ - NCT06472999Recruiting
Kidney protection in critically ill ICU patients
This trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT07549243Recruiting
Ear Nerve Stimulation to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to your ear can help protect your kidneys during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. Kidney damage after this type of surgery is common, and researchers want to see if this non-invasive stimulation can prevent it.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 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+ - NCT07464431RecruitingPhase 4
Sodium bicarbonate for metabolic acidosis and kidney injury
This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate helps critically ill patients who have both metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the blood) and acute kidney injury (sudden kidney trouble). It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes.
MünsterAges 18 years+ - NCT07447791Recruiting
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.
London, Greater LondonAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT04580680Recruiting
Testing a blood-filter treatment in critically ill ICU patients
This study looks at an add-on blood-filter treatment used in the ICU to help remove harmful substances like waste products, inflammation signals, or toxins from the blood. Results may help doctors understand whether this approach improves care and how it should be used.
FlorenceAges Any age - 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+ - NCT06547892RecruitingPhase 2
Vasopressin to prevent kidney injury in the ICU
This trial tests if a drug called vasopressin can help prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. It's for adults in the ICU who have a predicted risk score of 5 or higher based on their lab and health data.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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.
