Guided fluid management in severe kidney failure using ultrasound
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to manage fluids in patients with acute kidney injury who are receiving a type of dialysis called continuous renal replacement therapy. The method uses ultrasound to check blood flow in the veins and kidneys to guide fluid decisions, which may help recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You must have acute kidney injury, a sudden loss of kidney function
- You must be receiving continuous renal replacement therapy, a type of dialysis used in the hospital
- You must not have been on chronic dialysis before this kidney injury and must not have a kidney transplant
- You must be healthy enough for the study (life expectancy of at least 90 days and not pregnant)

This study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow in the kidneys and other organs to find out why acute kidney injury happens. By checking this early in the ICU stay, doctors hope to improve treatment and recovery.
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
This study tests if using ultrasound with tiny bubbles during a type of kidney dialysis (CRRT) helps keep the dialysis filter from clogging, so it can be used for a longer time. It might mean fewer filter changes and a smoother treatment for you.
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
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 whether a special ultrasound of the veins (VExUS) can help predict kidney injury in people with severe breathing problems who are on a breathing machine and receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
