Recruiting studies
- NCT06014801RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing low vs. medium continuous dialysis for kidney injury in the ICU

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+ - NCT07158554Recruiting
Emergency department test for muscle damage after a fall
This study looks at patients who come to the emergency department after a fall and have a specific type of muscle injury. Researchers want to learn more about how to quickly identify this injury so doctors can offer the best care.
Westcliff-on-Sea, EssexAges 60 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06987604Enrolling by invitation
Dialysis intensity for high ammonia in liver failure
This trial tests if a higher intensity of continuous dialysis (CRRT) better lowers ammonia levels in patients with liver failure. It aims to find the best approach to reduce brain complications from high ammonia.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06446739Recruiting
Low-dose vs standard-dose kidney therapy for ICU patients
This study compares two different doses of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT, a type of dialysis) for patients in the intensive care unit with acute kidney injury. It aims to find out if a lower dose is as safe and effective as the standard dose.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 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+ - NCT06671535Recruiting
Dialysis filter for itching in hemodialysis patients
This study tests a special type of dialysis filter (made of PMMA) to see if it can reduce severe itching and improve quality of life for people on long-term dialysis. If you have bothersome itching that standard treatment hasn't helped, this trial might be an option for you.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06925776Recruiting
Community health workers for kidney disease patients
This trial tests whether a community health worker can help patients with advanced kidney disease get better care and education about home dialysis. The goal is to improve patient involvement and make it easier to navigate social needs.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06174610Recruiting
Kidney ultrasound for ICU patients on dialysis
This study looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
Opole, Opole VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06397456Recruiting
Kidney education program for Black patients in the hospital
This study tests whether a special education and referral program helps Black patients with advanced kidney disease learn about their treatment options before they need dialysis or a transplant. If you join, you will get extra support while you're in the hospital.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07718464Recruiting
AKI risk test for children in the ICU
This study tests a new way to find children in the pediatric ICU who are at risk for serious kidney injury early, so doctors can start treatment sooner. Your child's kidney stress markers will be checked from a blood or urine sample.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT03329313RecruitingPhase 2
Adjusting dialysis salt levels for ICU kidney injury
This study tests whether using a specific salt (sodium) level in the dialysis fluid affects outcomes for adults in the ICU with sudden kidney failure. It may help your care team optimize dialysis settings during acute kidney injury.
Montpellier, MontpellierAges 18–80 - NCT05399537RecruitingPhase 3
Testing citrate fluid safety during kidney filtration (CRRT)
This Phase 3 study checks whether Prismocitrate 18 is safe for adults who need a kidney filtration treatment called CRRT. It is mainly for people who cannot safely use heparin (a common blood thinner) due to bleeding risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06659835Recruiting
Amino acid loss during kidney dialysis in the ICU
This study looks at how many amino acids (building blocks of protein) are lost during continuous kidney dialysis in patients in the intensive care unit after surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to support nutrition in these patients.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT03541785Enrolling by invitation
Using NGAL to guide fluids and start kidney-filtering in children
This study tests whether measuring a urine protein called NGAL can help doctors choose the right fluid amount and decide when to start a kidney-filtering treatment called CRRT in critically ill children with kidney injury. If it works, it may help treat kidney problems sooner and more safely.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–25 years - NCT06369064Recruiting
Comparing dialysis methods for kidney injury in the ICU
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.

- Are there clinical trials for kidney replacement therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 49 recruiting kidney replacement therapy 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 replacement therapy 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 replacement therapy 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.
