Recruiting studies
- NCT07643597Recruiting
Managing fluid removal in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury
This study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
SalvadorAges 18 years+ - NCT04180397RecruitingPhase 4
Removing extra fluid in critically ill ICU patients with overload
This trial studies a medicine strategy to remove extra fluid from the body in ICU patients who have fluid overload. It aims to see whether controlled fluid removal is safer and better for recovery than usual care.
SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT07070973Recruiting
Managing blood flow during ovarian cancer surgery
This study tests a proactive approach to monitoring and managing blood flow during surgery for ovarian cancer, including a heated chemotherapy bath (HIPEC). It aims to improve recovery by keeping your blood pressure and circulation stable.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06539026Recruiting
Fluid therapy guided by vein ultrasound in preeclampsia
This trial is testing a way to give fluids before C-section to women with severe preeclampsia. It uses an ultrasound measure of the big vein in your belly (the inferior vena cava) to help decide how much fluid is safe, which may reduce complications.
Cairo, EgyptAges Any age - NCT05817539Recruiting
Early circulation-focused care during kidney dialysis in ICU
This trial looks at whether starting dialysis-related care early, aimed at improving blood flow to tissues, can help people in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure. It may help reduce problems related to poor tissue circulation, but it is very specific about ICU illness and current treatments.
AjaccioAges 18 years+ - NCT07626151Recruiting
Fluid Management During Robotic Prostate Surgery
This trial compares two approaches to giving IV fluids during robotic prostate removal surgery. Researchers will use a heart-monitoring device to guide one approach and want to see which method works better for patient recovery.
CairoAges 40–80 - NCT07705269Recruiting
High-rate fluid removal for fluid overload in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a faster rate of fluid removal during dialysis can help hospitalized patients with end-stage kidney disease who have severe fluid buildup. It aims to reduce fluid congestion and improve outcomes.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT07275658Recruiting
Timing and dose of fluid removal in ICU patients
This study tests when and how much fluid should be removed from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need help getting rid of extra fluid. It uses medicines called diuretics or a machine that filters the blood (ultrafiltration) to find the best approach.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05188092Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide fluid removal in ICU patients
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06697470Recruiting
Ultrasound and fluid monitoring in the ICU
This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
Boussu, HainautAges 18 years+ - NCT06572995Recruiting
Fluid monitoring during septic shock recovery
This study is for adults in the intensive care unit with septic shock (a severe infection that drops blood pressure). It looks at how well your body holds fluid and whether treatment can be safely reduced.
BrestAges 18–99 - NCT05797649Recruiting
Test a pleural fluid blood marker to tell heart failure vs others
This study checks whether a substance called NT-proBNP in pleural fluid can better identify if fluid around the lung is caused by heart failure. If you fit, the results may help doctors choose faster, more accurate diagnosis for your pleural effusion.
Hong Kong, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT07178470Recruiting
Checking fluid status in home dialysis patients
This study looks at better ways to check for fluid overload in people doing dialysis at home. Your doctor will use a simple breathing scale, a physical exam, and a small bedside ultrasound to see which method matches your actual fluid status.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT06360380Recruiting
Wearable device for fluid removal in heart failure
This trial tests a wearable device that removes extra fluid from your body without using the kidneys. It may help people with heart failure who still have fluid buildup despite taking high doses of water pills.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 21–79 - NCT06585722Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict kidney injury in ICU patients
This study uses a special ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins (called venous congestion) and see if it is linked to kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors understand how to prevent kidney problems during critical illness.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06153888Recruiting
Heart strain during dialysis: a study on fluid removal
This study looks at how quickly fluid is removed during dialysis affects the heart. It may help find safer ways to manage fluid removal for people on hemodialysis.
UmeåAges 18 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+ - NCT05505500Recruiting
Parent and patient interviews for childhood kidney swelling
This study uses interviews to understand how swelling from nephrotic syndrome affects daily life for children and their caregivers. It may help researchers design better care by capturing the patient and parent perspective.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 2 years+ - NCT06174272Recruiting
Better care after hospital for liver swelling
This trial tests a program to help people with cirrhosis and severe fluid swelling get better care after leaving the hospital. It focuses on guiding you through treatment with water pills and managing fluid buildup at home.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07417969Recruiting
Albumin with furosemide for fluid overload in ICU
This study tests whether giving a medicine called albumin together with a water pill (furosemide) helps ICU patients who have too much fluid in their body and are making very little urine. The goal is to see if this combination can improve urine output and protect kidney function.
Querétaro City, QuerétaroAges 18–100 - NCT07484009Recruiting
ReDS-guided fluid removal for heart failure patients
This trial tests if using a wearable monitor (ReDS) to guide fluid removal helps people hospitalized for heart failure. The goal is to find the right amount of fluid to remove so patients feel better and stay out of the hospital.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06823115Enrolling by invitation
Worldwide study of kidney injury in newborns
This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–2 weeks - NCT06799910Recruiting
Optimizing fluid balance with bioelectrical impedance during dialysis in ICU
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fluid overload?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 23 recruiting fluid overload 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 fluid overload 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 fluid overload 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.
