Kidney function in brain injury patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial measures how quickly the kidneys clear drugs in patients with serious brain conditions like stroke or meningitis. It may help doctors adjust medicine doses for better treatment.

This trial looks at improving outcomes for people who have a potentially life-threatening neurologic illness and are admitted to a Neuro ICU soon after injury. If you qualify, you may receive care strategies being tested to improve recovery and survival.
This study uses special monitors to watch brain activity and other vital signs in adults admitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit (NSICU). The goal is to learn more about how the brain is doing and could help doctors provide better care.
This trial tests a new monitor that tracks blood flow in patients with severe traumatic brain injury or bleeding in the brain. The device may help doctors better manage care for these critically ill patients.
This study monitors the amount of certain antibiotics in the blood of patients with acute brain injury in the intensive care unit. It aims to make sure the antibiotics are at the right level to fight infection, especially in patients whose kidneys are clearing drugs faster than normal.
This trial studies how treating severe kidney injury in the ICU may affect patients’ brain and thinking function over time. It compares measurements of brain activity and function after starting kidney replacement therapy.
This study tests a special brain-monitoring system in the ICU for people with severe brain injuries. It aims to give doctors early warnings about changes in the brain and help predict recovery, which may improve treatment and outcomes.
