Amino acid loss during kidney dialysis in the ICU
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how many amino acids (building blocks of protein) are lost during continuous kidney dialysis in patients in the intensive care unit after surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to support nutrition in these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old
- You are in the ICU after surgery
- You are receiving nutrition through a feeding tube or IV
- You may be on continuous kidney dialysis, or not on any dialysis
- You do not have serious liver disease or acute liver failure

This trial looks at nutrient losses in ICU patients who have been on continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) for a long time. It aims to understand what deficiencies might develop and how to prevent them.
This study tests different doses of a continuous blood-filtering treatment for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors find the best dose to improve outcomes.
This trial looks at different types of continuous kidney dialysis (CRRT) to see which best helps kidney recovery in ICU patients with sudden kidney injury. It also studies how the dose and timing of dialysis affect long-term kidney function.
This trial looks at how a type of continuous kidney dialysis, called CRRT, works in very sick patients in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors learn more about how to best care for people who need this treatment.
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 two intensities (low vs. medium) of continuous dialysis for people with sudden kidney failure in the ICU. It aims to find which level of treatment works best for critically ill patients.
