Timing dialysis in critically ill ICU patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You are currently in an ICU (intensive care unit) in Stockholm
- You are receiving kidney support treatment planning (renal replacement therapy)
- You do not have a DNAR order (meaning you want full resuscitation if needed)
- You are not expected to die within 12 hours after starting dialysis

This study looks at how continuous renal replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) is used in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Participation will help doctors understand how to better support kidney function in critically ill people.
This study looks at how long patients with serious illness stay in the intensive care unit when they receive a type of kidney treatment called continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). It may help doctors understand the impact of this treatment on recovery time.
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.
This study compares different ways of doing dialysis in intensive care to see which works best for helping kidneys recover. It might help you if you are in the ICU with sudden kidney injury.
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.
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.
