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.
Who can take part
- You are in the Medical ICU or Cardiothoracic ICU at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
- You are receiving either CVVHD or CVVH, which are two common types of continuous kidney treatment.
- Your dialysis catheter is placed in a vein in your neck (not your leg).
- You or a family member can give permission for you to be in the study.

This study looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
This study compares different ways of doing dialysis in intensive care to see which works best for helping kidneys recover. It might help you if you are in the ICU with sudden kidney injury.
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 study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
