Ultrasound bubbles to keep kidney dialysis filters working longer
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using ultrasound and microbubbles can help remove clots from dialysis filters, making them last longer during continuous kidney treatment in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the ICU with acute or chronic kidney failure and need continuous dialysis.
- You are expected to have at least two dialysis sessions.
- You or your family member can give permission for the study.
- You do not have a severe bleeding disorder or very low platelet count.
- You do not have any reason that would make blood thinners unsafe.

This study compares two ways to manage fluid balance in ICU patients with acute kidney injury who are on continuous dialysis. One method uses a special ultrasound test to guide fluid removal, while the other uses standard care. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better.
This study looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
This study tests different doses of a continuous blood-filtering treatment for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors find the best dose to improve outcomes.
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 looks at using a blood thinner called citrate during continuous kidney dialysis (renal replacement therapy) in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. It aims to see if this approach is safe and workable for patients whose bodies may not process citrate normally.
This trial compares two different timeframes for changing filters during a critical kidney support treatment (CRRT) used when kidneys suddenly fail in hospitalized patients. The goal is to understand which filter-change schedule works better and reduces complications.
