Kidney treatment for patients on ECMO
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving kidney dialysis to patients who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It aims to find which method works better for filtering the blood.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are on a heart-lung bypass machine (called VA-ECMO) and need to start kidney dialysis (RRT).
- You are expected to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 24 hours.
- Doctors are able to place a new dialysis line (catheter) for the parallel connection method.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or under any legal restriction like guardianship.

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 tests whether starting kidney replacement therapy faster or at the usual time improves outcomes for people with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) and develop sudden kidney injury.
This study compares two methods for removing waste products from the blood in people who need dialysis. It aims to see whether one method works better or is safer during extra-renal (outside the body) blood purification.
This study tests a special filter (HA380 column) used during dialysis or ECMO to remove harmful substances from the blood. It is for critically ill patients with severe infection, injury, or breathing problems who also need kidney or lung support.
This study tests a new way to monitor patients while they receive continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) in the ICU. It aims to see if this monitoring can be done safely and smoothly, helping doctors track your treatment better.
This study looks at the health records of people who needed emergency dialysis or a similar blood-filtering treatment in the emergency department. It aims to understand their outcomes, which may help improve care for people with sudden kidney failure.
