Kidney protection in critically ill ICU patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have moderate or severe acute kidney injury (AKI) – stage 2 or 3.
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) or receiving medicines to keep your blood pressure up (vasopressors).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have end-stage chronic kidney disease or require regular dialysis.
- You do not have a history of kidney transplant or permanent kidney artery blockage.

This study looks at acute kidney injury in patients who are very sick in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney problems in these patients.
This study tests whether a simple scoring tool can help doctors predict which ICU patients may develop kidney problems. It may help identify patients at risk early so they can receive closer monitoring.
This trial studies how treating severe kidney injury in the ICU may affect patients’ brain and thinking function over time. It compares measurements of brain activity and function after starting kidney replacement therapy.
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.
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.
This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
