Early albumin for kidney injury in cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a common fluid (albumin) early can help protect the kidneys in people with advanced liver disease who have a sudden kidney injury. It aims to see if this simple treatment can improve recovery and prevent the need for dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies two ways of giving albumin (a protein given through an IV) to people with cirrhosis who also have a sudden kidney injury from sepsis. The goal is to see which method—tailored to each patient or a fixed dose—is safer and works better for kidney recovery.
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a blood protein through an IV) can improve recovery after acute kidney injury in people who are in the ICU and need kidney support treatment. It mainly aims to help the kidneys bounce back better after this serious illness.
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
This study tests whether giving albumin (a protein in the blood) before heart surgery helps protect the kidneys of young children with low albumin levels. It may help reduce the risk of kidney injury after surgery.
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.
This study tests whether giving albumin (a protein) along with water pills helps reduce leg swelling in people with cirrhosis and ascites. It may be an option if your leg swelling hasn't improved with standard diuretics alone.
