Using furosemide stress test to stop kidney replacement therapy
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a furosemide (a water pill) stress test can help doctors decide when to safely stop continuous kidney replacement therapy in ICU patients with severe acute kidney injury. It may allow you to come off the machine sooner if your kidneys respond well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You have severe acute kidney injury (stage 3) with very low urine output (less than 400 ml per day).
- You have been on continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) in the ICU for at least 48 hours.
- You are not on any blood pressure support medications like norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, or dobutamine.
- Your blood work shows certain levels are too high or too low (like BUN, potassium, pH, or bicarbonate) that would make this trial unsafe.

This study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
This study tests a new way to find children in the pediatric ICU who are at risk for serious kidney injury early, so doctors can start treatment sooner. Your child's kidney stress markers will be checked from a blood or urine sample.
This trial studies whether a blood test called delta C-cistatin can help doctors predict when patients can safely stop continuous kidney dialysis after acute kidney injury.
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 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 study tests whether the water pill furosemide can help remove certain toxins from the blood in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 3-5) who are starting this medicine as part of their regular care.
