Monitoring during continuous kidney replacement therapy in the ICU
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor patients while they receive continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) in the ICU. It aims to see if this monitoring can be done safely and smoothly, helping doctors track your treatment better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different doses of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT, a type of dialysis) for patients in the intensive care unit with acute kidney injury. It aims to find out if a lower dose is as safe and effective as the standard dose.
This trial looks at nutrient losses in ICU patients who have been on continuous kidney replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) for a long time. It aims to understand what deficiencies might develop and how to prevent them.
