Finding the right dialysis dose for ICU patients with kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You have sudden kidney failure that needs a type of dialysis called continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
- You are on blood pressure support medicines (like norepinephrine) at a dose higher than 0.1 mcg per kg per minute.
- You or your family can give written permission to join the study.
- This study is not for people who already have severe long-term kidney disease (eGFR below 30) before this illness, or who need plasma exchange or MARS therapy.

This study looks at how continuous renal replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) is used in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Participation will help doctors understand how to better support kidney function in critically ill people.
This study looks at whether using the arm access (fistula or graft) that you already have for dialysis is safe and effective during continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) in the ICU. It aims to see if this approach can work well for people who need dialysis while on a breathing machine.
This study looks at how dialysis (renal replacement therapy) is used for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) with severe acute kidney injury in Latin America. Your participation can help improve care for people with kidney problems.
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 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 compares two different doses of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT, a type of dialysis) for patients in the intensive care unit with acute kidney injury. It aims to find out if a lower dose is as safe and effective as the standard dose.
