Ultrasound-guided fluid removal for kidney recovery in heart-kidney syndrome
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if using ultrasound scans to guide fluid removal helps protect kidney function in people with cardiorenal syndrome type 1, where heart failure suddenly worsens kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (worsening kidney function due to acute heart failure).
- You have symptoms like shortness of breath, swelling, low oxygen, or fluid buildup seen on ultrasound.
- You have a lung ultrasound score higher than 15.
- You do not have advanced kidney disease, a kidney transplant, or need emergency dialysis.
- You are not on a machine that helps your heart and lungs (ECMO).

This study tests whether using ultrasound-guided treatment to reduce fluid buildup in the body can help people hospitalized for worsening heart failure feel better faster. It's for adults admitted with heart failure and high BNP levels.
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
This study uses ultrasound to help doctors decide how much fluid to give patients after heart surgery. It aims to improve recovery by checking if patients need more fluids.
This study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart surgery with the goal of protecting your kidneys. It uses a special device to guide fluid levels and checks early signs of kidney injury.
This trial studies a treatment that removes extra fluid through a catheter placed in the abdomen (peritoneal ultrafiltration) for people with “cardio-renal syndrome” (heart and kidney problems together). It may help those who stay congested despite high-dose water pills (diuretics) and have certain heart circulation and fluid signs.
