Predicting kidney injury in intensive care patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain blood tests can help predict if a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) will develop acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function). It may help doctors detect kidney problems earlier and improve care for ICU patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) within the last 24 hours.
- You need to have blood test results for triglyceride and glucose levels.
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You cannot have advanced liver disease or chronic kidney disease (even if you are on dialysis).

This study tests whether a simple scoring tool can help doctors predict which ICU patients may develop kidney problems. It may help identify patients at risk early so they can receive closer monitoring.
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.
This study looks at how urine output after being in the intensive care unit (ICU) can help detect early kidney problems. It may help doctors better monitor and protect kidney function in critically ill patients.
This study looks at people with acute (sudden) kidney injury, based on changes in a blood test called creatinine. By tracking these patterns during hospitalization, it may help improve how acute kidney injury is identified and managed.
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 tests a urine test that may help find kidney injury early in adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). The test could help doctors act sooner to protect your kidneys.
