Folate to reduce death risk after infection-related kidney injury
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving folate (a vitamin) to people who develop acute kidney injury from an infection can lower the risk of dying in the following year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have an infection (like a fever or positive blood culture)
- You have acute kidney injury caused by the infection (based on blood tests or urine output)
- You can give informed consent (or have someone who can)
- Your kidney injury is not due to other causes like certain medications or a blockage

This trial tests whether folic acid can help adults with acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) who are in the hospital. If you have this condition and are not already taking folic acid, you may be able to join.
This study looks at people with acute (sudden) kidney injury, based on changes in a blood test called creatinine. By tracking these patterns during hospitalization, it may help improve how acute kidney injury is identified and managed.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether folic acid can lessen mucositis (painful mouth sores) caused by certain kidney cancer medicines. You would either take folic acid or an inactive pill, and the study looks for improvement in these side effects.
This trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
This trial tests whether finerenone (a medicine that helps protect the kidneys) can improve recovery from acute kidney injury (sudden kidney failure) in hospitalized patients. Participation involves taking the study drug or a placebo while in the hospital.
This trial tests if taking a common antibiotic (TMP/SMX) after a kidney injury can help prevent infections after you leave the hospital. It might be an option if you had acute kidney injury during your hospital stay and are being discharged to recover at home or a rehabilitation facility.
