If you’re recently hospitalized for a heart transplant, you may be eligible if specific kidney support needs and critical breathing/circulation devices aren’t already required.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06341062Recruiting
Ultrasound test for kidney injury in the ICU
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06372444Recruiting
Kidney injury in severe infections study
This study looks at how severe infections like sepsis can hurt the kidneys. By using special scans (PET-CT), researchers hope to better understand why this happens, which could lead to better treatments.
UppsalaAges 30 years+ - NCT06685367Recruiting
AI software for predicting acute kidney injury in ICU
This trial tests software that uses artificial intelligence to predict if a patient in the ICU might develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage). It aims to see if the software is cost-effective and could help doctors catch problems earlier.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT06857630Recruiting
Hemoglobin levels and kidney injury in emergency surgery
This trial looks at whether a patient's hemoglobin level (a measure of red blood cells) before emergency surgery can help predict the risk of acute kidney injury afterward. It aims to find if early detection can prevent kidney damage.
SamsunAges 18–80 - NCT07030166Recruiting
Predicting kidney injury risk after non-cardiac surgery
This trial uses machine learning to predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after non-cardiac surgery. If you are 18 or older and having this type of surgery, it may help understand your risk and guide care.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT07106151Recruiting
Recovering from kidney failure after dialysis in hospital
This study looks at how patients recover from acute kidney injury that needs dialysis after they leave the hospital. It aims to understand and improve care during the transition to outpatient dialysis.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07472426Recruiting
Creatine for brain and kidney health after exercise in heat
This study tests if taking creatine supplements can protect your brain and kidneys during intense exercise in hot conditions. You'll exercise and have your thinking and kidney function checked afterward.
Cedar Falls, IowaAges 18–45 - NCT04403633Recruiting
Mobile app study to help kids with acute kidney injury
This study looks at what helps and what gets in the way when using a mobile health app to improve care for children hospitalized with acute kidney injury. It may help by improving how families and teams use tools during a serious hospital condition.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 1–18 - NCT07459413Recruiting
Drinking vs. IV fluids to protect kidneys from contrast dye
This trial compares drinking fluids by mouth versus receiving fluids through an IV to prevent kidney injury from CT contrast dye. It may be a good option if you have mild to moderate kidney disease and need a contrast CT while in the emergency department.
Istanbul, GaziosmanpasaAges 18 years+ - NCT07445997Recruiting
HbA1c and kidney injury after heart bypass surgery
This study looks at whether blood sugar levels (HbA1c) before surgery are linked to kidney problems after coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how to reduce risks for people with diabetes or high blood sugar.
BursaAges 18 years+ - NCT04343417Enrolling by invitation
