Ultrasound-Guided Fluid Management in Acute Kidney Injury Dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and admitted to the ICU.
- You have acute kidney injury (sudden loss of kidney function).
- You are receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) for one of these reasons: very high potassium, very low pH or bicarbonate, severe breathing problems with fluid overload, or kidney failure lasting more than 72 hours.
- You do not have end-stage kidney disease, a kidney transplant, or other conditions that would interfere with the ultrasound test (like liver cirrhosis, severe heart valve problems, or a large belly fluid buildup).
- You are not pregnant, do not have severe heart rhythm problems, and are not on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO).

This study tests if using a special ultrasound (Doppler) to check blood flow in the kidneys can help predict and manage sudden kidney damage in patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a safer way to monitor kidney health without invasive tests.
This study looks at how fluid levels affect kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors find the best way to manage fluids for people whose kidneys get injured during their ICU stay.
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 tests whether using ultrasound and microbubbles can help remove clots from dialysis filters, making them last longer during continuous kidney treatment in the ICU.
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 compares a prescription-based approach to managing fluids versus the usual method in intensive care patients who need kidney replacement therapy (dialysis). The goal is to see if the prescription approach improves outcomes.
