Low-dose vs standard-dose kidney therapy for ICU patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares a lower dose versus a standard dose of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI — sudden kidney failure). It aims to see if lower doses are safe and effective.
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 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 different ways of doing dialysis in intensive care to see which works best for helping kidneys recover. It might help you if you are in the ICU with sudden kidney injury.
This study looks at how continuous renal replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) is used in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Participation will help doctors understand how to better support kidney function in critically ill people.
This study looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
