Prealbumin changes and recovery in ICU patients
This trial looks at how changes in prealbumin (a protein that shows your nutrition status) in the blood relate to how well patients recover in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand your prognosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) or a similar critical care unit.

This trial tests whether giving albumin (a blood protein through an IV) can improve recovery after acute kidney injury in people who are in the ICU and need kidney support treatment. It mainly aims to help the kidneys bounce back better after this serious illness.
This study looks at how nutrition relates to frailty in older adults staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help find better ways to support recovery.
This trial tests whether a high-protein diet or standard protein diet is better for critically ill patients who are at risk for refeeding syndrome (dangerous shifts in fluids and minerals when starting nutrition after starvation). The goal is to see which type of nutrition helps recovery.
This major trial tests multiple treatments at once for adults admitted to the ICU. If you are an ICU patient, you may be able to join and receive one of several possible treatments aimed at improving recovery.
This trial tests if giving human albumin (a protein fluid) can help treat septic shock in surgical intensive care patients. If you have severe infection and very low blood pressure after surgery, this treatment might improve recovery.
This study looks at how nutrition is given to adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand current practices and may help improve care for future patients.
