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 trial looks at different types of continuous kidney dialysis (CRRT) to see which best helps kidney recovery in ICU patients with sudden kidney injury. It also studies how the dose and timing of dialysis affect long-term kidney function.
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 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 trial looks at how a type of continuous kidney dialysis, called CRRT, works in very sick patients in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors learn more about how to best care for people who need this treatment.
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.
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.
