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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study compares two blood-thinning medications used during continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury: one uses citrate (a chemical that prevents clotting) and the other uses heparin (a standard blood thinner). By looking at how well these treatments work, the study aims to find the safest and most effective way to keep the dialysis filter working.
This study compares two ways of changing the filter in the dialysis machine for people with severe acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit. It looks at whether changing the filter more often (standard) is better or worse than leaving it in longer (shorter filter lifespan).
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 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.
