Predicting kidney injury in acute heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain proteins in the urine (albumin) can help predict if a person with acute heart failure will develop sudden kidney injury while in the ICU. It aims to find early warning signs to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU) for acute heart failure.
- You do NOT have known chronic kidney disease before this ICU stay.
- You do NOT have a severe urinary tract infection.

This study looks at what factors might predict acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) in people who come to the emergency room with acute decompensated heart failure (a sudden worsening of heart failure). The goal is to help doctors identify who is at highest risk so they can take steps to protect the kidneys.
This study looks at whether certain blood test results (triglyceride and glucose) can help predict acute kidney injury in ICU patients. It aims to find early warning signs so doctors can act sooner.
This study is testing new ways to predict kidney problems after heart surgery. Researchers will look at special markers in the blood or urine to see if they can better identify patients whose kidneys may not recover well.
This study uses a simple ultrasound test (kidney artery scan) to see if it can predict kidney problems early in people who are very ill. It may help doctors protect your kidneys during your hospital stay.
This study measures a protein called uromodulin in the blood of patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) to see if it can help predict outcomes. It aims to find a better way to assess kidney damage early.
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.
