Test filter lifespan during continuous kidney dialysis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the lifespan (how long they can be used) of dialysis filters can be optimized during continuous kidney dialysis for very sick adults. If successful, it may improve care and use of dialysis supplies for people with dialysis-dependent kidney injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You are very sick in the hospital and need continuous dialysis for sudden kidney injury (dialysis-dependent AKI)
- You are already receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)
- You can give written informed consent (or your legal representative can)
- Your kidney problem is not long-term chronic kidney failure with very low kidney function (eGFR under 30)
- You do not already have long-term/chronic dialysis dependence or a kidney transplant

This study is for adults who are starting continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) for kidney failure. It looks at how well the filter removes waste, and excludes people on ECMO.
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 compares two different timeframes for changing filters during a critical kidney support treatment (CRRT) used when kidneys suddenly fail in hospitalized patients. The goal is to understand which filter-change schedule works better and reduces complications.
This study tests different doses of a continuous blood-filtering treatment for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors find the best dose to improve outcomes.
This study compares different types of dialysis to see which removes waste products (uremic toxins) best from the blood. If you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months and use the same filter for a year, this trial may help find a better way to clean your blood.
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.
