Kidney injury in severe infections study
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how severe infections like sepsis can hurt the kidneys. By using special scans (PET-CT), researchers hope to better understand why this happens, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 30 years old
- You have a serious infection (sepsis) that caused kidney damage (acute kidney injury, or AKI) within the last 24 hours
- You do not have advanced chronic kidney disease that requires dialysis or is stage 3a or worse
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can lie still for a PET-CT scan (no severe claustrophobia or unstable medical condition)

This study looks at substances related to inflammation to better understand sudden kidney problems in people who are very sick in the ICU. It may help improve how kidney injury is predicted and treated after severe illness or major events.
This study is testing a combination of methods, including a bedside ultrasound of your kidneys, to help diagnose acute kidney injury that happens as a complication of sepsis. The goal is to find out if this approach can detect kidney problems early so doctors can treat them sooner.
This study looks at how the immune system responds in patients who develop sepsis after surgery and how it relates to kidney injury. It aims to help improve care for conditions like this.
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan using a new tracer to measure kidney function and predict how much kidney function will remain after surgery to remove part of a kidney. It may help doctors better plan surgery and manage your care.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with contrast agent can help predict if you might develop acute kidney injury after a serious trauma. It focuses on patients in the ICU who have had a major injury and received blood products.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and other signs in your body affect liver and kidney damage in people with sepsis. It also compares findings to healthy volunteers to see what is different.
