Testing brain function outcomes after ICU kidney failure treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies how treating severe kidney injury in the ICU may affect patients’ brain and thinking function over time. It compares measurements of brain activity and function after starting kidney replacement therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be admitted to the Kingston Health Sciences ICU
- Have severe acute kidney injury that needs kidney replacement therapy (KRT)
- Start KRT within 12 hours using hemodialysis (iHD) or continuous kidney replacement (CKRT)
- Be able to complete brain-related tests like cerebral oximetry, Kinarm, and possibly MRI
- Not have certain brain conditions, test limitations, or a very short expected life span (<24 hours)

This trial tests a special device that filters parts of the blood to calm inflammation in people with severe acute kidney injury in the ICU. It may help improve recovery and reduce complications by “deactivating” certain immune cells.
This trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
This study looks at acute kidney injury in patients who are very sick in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney problems in these patients.
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 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 looks at how acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) affects how well patients can come off a breathing machine. It aims to help doctors better plan breathing trials for patients with kidney issues.
