Predicting low blood pressure during dialysis in the ICU
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special tool can predict and prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during dialysis in ICU patients with kidney problems. It might help make dialysis safer and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have sudden kidney injury or long-term kidney failure
- You are currently in a medical intensive care unit (ICU)
- You are scheduled for a type of dialysis called PIRRT (prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy)
- You have a small tube in an artery (called an arterial line) to monitor blood pressure continuously

This trial tests if a non-invasive finger sensor (PVI) can predict when blood pressure drops during dialysis. If successful, it could help prevent dangerous low blood pressure episodes.
This study uses an ultrasound of the heart to predict if a patient's blood pressure will drop dangerously when starting a type of kidney dialysis called continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF). The goal is to help doctors prepare and prevent complications.
This study looks at whether an ultrasound of the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) can help predict drops in blood pressure during dialysis. It may help doctors find people at risk for low blood pressure during treatment.
This study uses an ultrasound to check how much your main vein (inferior vena cava) collapses during dialysis. It aims to see if this measurement can help predict drops in blood pressure during treatment, so doctors can better manage your dialysis sessions.
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 study compares two types of dialysis fluid (citrate-based vs acetate-based) to see which better helps protect blood pressure during intermittent dialysis. It may help people in intensive care who are at risk of dialysis-related low blood pressure.
