Folate to improve survival after kidney injury from infection
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving folate (a B vitamin) to people who develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) from an infection can reduce the risk of dying within the next year. It aims to see if a simple, safe supplement can help kidneys recover and improve overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an active infection (like a fever or positive blood culture) and are being treated with antibiotics.
- You have been diagnosed with acute kidney injury (sudden decrease in kidney function) as a result of the infection.
- You are not currently taking folate supplements.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to give informed consent (or have someone who can do it for you).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether folic acid, a common vitamin, can help patients with acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) recover while they are in the hospital. It aims to see if folic acid is safe and feasible to use for this condition.
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 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 a drug called finerenone can help people recover from acute kidney injury (AKI), a sudden loss of kidney function. It might reduce further kidney damage and improve recovery.
This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
This trial tests a preventive antibiotic (a combination of two drugs) to see if it can reduce the chance of infections after leaving the hospital in people who had acute kidney injury (sudden kidney failure) during their stay. It is intended for people who are recovering and about to go home or to a rehabilitation facility.
