This study helps improve care for people with moderate to severe acute kidney injury when they leave the hospital. It tests a program to make sure patients get the right follow-up once they go home.
Mankato, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06937307RecruitingPhase 2
Droxidopa for low blood pressure in cirrhosis with kidney injury
This trial tests a medication called droxidopa to see if it can raise blood pressure in people with cirrhosis who also have acute kidney injury. If you have low blood pressure and are in the hospital with these conditions, this study may help improve your kidney function.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT06229990RecruitingPhase 4
Using furosemide stress test to stop kidney replacement therapy
This study tests whether a furosemide (a water pill) stress test can help doctors decide when to safely stop continuous kidney replacement therapy in ICU patients with severe acute kidney injury. It may allow you to come off the machine sooner if your kidneys respond well.
Chiang MaiAges 20 years+ - NCT03054142Recruiting
Study tracking kidney injury using blood creatinine changes
This study looks at people with acute (sudden) kidney injury, based on changes in a blood test called creatinine. By tracking these patterns during hospitalization, it may help improve how acute kidney injury is identified and managed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06954740RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell treatment for acute kidney injury
This study tests a special type of stem cell treatment called mesenchymal stromal cells (Amimestrocel) for patients with acute kidney injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can help kidneys recover better than standard care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT05084196RecruitingPhase 3
Melatonin to help prevent kidney damage from vancomycin
This Phase 3 study tests whether melatonin can help protect the kidneys in people who are starting or continuing vancomycin, an antibiotic that can sometimes affect kidney function. If you qualify, you would take melatonin as an added prevention step while you’re on vancomycin.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT05659589Recruiting
Using a kidney toxin level to predict heart effects in AKI
This study looks at whether measuring indoxyl sulfate, a substance that can build up when kidneys are injured, can help predict how blood vessels and the heart are affected during acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk of heart-related problems while AKI is happening.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05694624Recruiting
Study of sepsis-related kidney injury monitoring
This trial looks at acute kidney injury that can happen during sepsis (a serious body-wide infection or suspected infection). It may help improve how doctors detect and manage kidney problems early, especially in intensive care or around major surgery.
Tromsø, TromsAges 18–100 - NCT05758077Recruiting
SeLective blood-filter trial for acute kidney injury in ICU
This trial tests a special device that filters parts of the blood to calm inflammation in people with severe acute kidney injury in the ICU. It may help improve recovery and reduce complications by “deactivating” certain immune cells.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06349577Recruiting
Bypass machine settings to protect kidneys during heart surgery
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT06471621Recruiting
Personalized care to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
