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 study looks at two different levels of dosing for continuous dialysis (CRRT) in patients with severe acute kidney injury in the ICU. It aims to find out which dose might be better for recovery.
This study compares giving a higher amount of protein to a standard amount in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure who need dialysis. The goal is to see if more protein helps recovery.
This study looks at whether long-term dialysis in the ICU causes low levels of important minerals and vitamins in the blood. If you're in the ICU and have been on dialysis for a while, this trial might help doctors understand and treat these deficiencies.
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 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.
