Recruiting studies
- NCT06615102RecruitingPhase 3
Testing if angiotensin II prevents kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called angiotensin II during heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It is for adults having certain types of heart surgery who have a higher risk of kidney problems.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06696235RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing fast vs standard kidney therapy for heart shock patients on ECMO
This trial tests whether starting kidney replacement therapy faster or at the usual time improves outcomes for people with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) and develop sudden kidney injury.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05805709Recruiting
COPE-AKI: A care plan for people hospitalized with serious AKI
This trial tests a patient-centered plan for how care is organized and communicated for people hospitalized with serious, persistent kidney injury (AKI). The goal is to improve the experience and possibly outcomes by making care more consistent and easier to follow.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07685587Recruiting
Comparing two types of ureteral access sheaths for kidney stone surgery
This trial compares two methods used during surgery to treat kidney stones. It looks at whether one type of tube (a fan-shaped access sheath) causes less kidney injury after surgery than the standard tube. This could help patients have a safer recovery.

BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06714409Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided fluid removal in hospitalized heart failure
This study tests whether using ultrasound-guided treatment to reduce fluid buildup in the body can help people hospitalized for worsening heart failure feel better faster. It's for adults admitted with heart failure and high BNP levels.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06753409Recruiting
Brain monitoring during anesthesia for major abdominal surgery
This study tests whether using a special brain wave monitor during anesthesia can improve recovery for people having major abdominal surgery lasting more than two hours.
AsyutAges 18–70 - NCT06835816Recruiting
Amino acid supplements during dialysis
This trial tests whether adding amino acid supplements during dialysis helps people with kidney failure. It may be an option if your doctor decides you need these supplements.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06889974Recruiting
Timing of kidney treatment in tumor lysis syndrome
This study looks at when to start kidney dialysis for patients in the ICU who develop tumor lysis syndrome (a rapid breakdown of cancer cells after chemotherapy that can harm the kidneys). It aims to find the best timing for this treatment.
AngersAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06921603Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diuretics for heart failure
This trial tests whether using a bedside ultrasound to guide diuretic treatment improves outcomes in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help find the right dose of IV diuretics faster.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07013175Recruiting
Wise Choices in the Intensive Care Unit
This study looks at how decisions are made in the ICU. It may help improve care for adult patients in Swedish intensive care units.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07017933Recruiting
Kidney support device for heart surgery patients
This trial tests a new device that helps support kidney function during heart surgery. It is for people with mild to moderate kidney problems who are having bypass or valve surgery.
Weston, FloridaAges 22–85 - NCT07084129RecruitingPhase 1
Vancomycin and kidney injury study for children with sepsis
This trial tests a different way of giving vancomycin to children with sepsis to reduce the risk of kidney injury. It compares standard dosing to an approach that adjusts dose based on how the kidneys are working.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 month–17 years - NCT07222722Recruiting
Brain oxygen monitoring for preterm babies and kidney health
This trial uses a special monitor to check oxygen levels in the brain of very premature babies. It aims to see if low oxygen affects kidney health.
New York, New YorkAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07229040RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney protection during heated chemotherapy surgery for ovarian cancer
This trial tests two drugs (cilastatin and thiosulfate) to see which one better protects the kidneys during surgery that uses heated cisplatin chemotherapy directly in the abdomen. It is for women with advanced ovarian cancer whose disease is mostly in the belly.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–75 - NCT07273838RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor for acute heart and kidney failure
This study tests whether a medicine called an SGLT2 inhibitor (which lowers blood sugar and helps the kidneys) can improve outcomes for people with acute heart failure and kidney problems. Participation involves taking the study drug or a placebo for a short time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT07326215Recruiting
A study of a device that removes carbon dioxide from the blood
This trial tests a device called PrismaLung+ that helps remove extra carbon dioxide from the blood of patients on breathing machines. It may help people whose lungs are struggling despite gentle ventilation settings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT00948116Recruiting
Blood and urine tests to predict kidney injury in diabetes
This study checks whether a set of blood and urine tests can predict “acute kidney injury” (a sudden worsening of kidney function) earlier in people with diabetes who are undergoing a heart procedure. If the tests work, they may help doctors spot kidney trouble sooner and protect your kidneys.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07418242Recruiting
New markers for kidney risk after heart surgery
This study looks at whether certain blood or urine markers can predict kidney problems in people having high-risk heart surgery. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can take steps to protect your kidneys.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 201 recruiting kidney injury 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 kidney injury 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 kidney injury 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.
