Comparing two dialysis methods for severe kidney injury in ICU
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to filter blood (intermittent hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy) for patients in the intensive care unit with severe acute kidney injury. It aims to find which method works better for critically ill patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) or receiving strong medicines to support blood pressure (catecholamines).
- Your hospital has both dialysis machines available (IHD and CRRT).
- You have severe kidney problems causing dangerous high potassium, acid buildup, or fluid in the lungs, OR you are at the most severe stage of kidney injury with very high urea or no urine for more than 3 days.
- You have health insurance (social security) and agree to participate (or a family member agrees for you).

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 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 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 compares two different doses of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT, a type of dialysis) for patients in the intensive care unit with acute kidney injury. It aims to find out if a lower dose is as safe and effective as the standard dose.
This trial compares the usual dose of continuous dialysis with a lower dose to see if a lower dose is just as safe and effective for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure.
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.
