Optimizing fluid balance with bioelectrical impedance during dialysis in ICU
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a method to better manage fluid levels in critically ill patients who are receiving a type of dialysis (CVVH) for kidney failure. It uses a device (bioelectrical impedance) to measure fluid in the body, which may help doctors give the right amount of fluids more safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have extra fluid in your body (fluid overload of more than 5%)
- You are in the intensive care unit receiving a special type of dialysis called continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH)
- Your blood pressure has been stable for at least 4 hours with medication (norepinephrine)
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device

This study tests a new way to manage fluid buildup in patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It uses a simple, non-invasive tool (‘bioimpedance’) to help doctors better balance your fluids, which could help you feel better and recover faster.
This study uses a special device to measure fluid levels in the body during dialysis. It may help doctors better understand and manage fluid balance for people on hemodialysis.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during hemodialysis and how much fluid is removed, to see what approach works best for controlling blood pressure. It may help dialysis patients whose blood pressure is often high before or after 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 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 uses a special monitor (called ANI) to check how well your nervous system is working while you are on continuous kidney dialysis in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand your body's response to fluid removal.
