Comparing low vs standard dialysis in ICU patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares a lower dose versus a standard dose of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI — sudden kidney failure). It aims to see if lower doses are safe and effective.
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 study looks at the best timing for starting kidney support treatment (dialysis) in very sick people in the ICU. It may help improve outcomes by comparing different start times.
This trial compares the usual dose of continuous dialysis with a lower dose to see if a lower dose is just as safe and effective for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure.
This study tests different doses of a continuous blood-filtering treatment for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors find the best dose to improve outcomes.
This study compares two intensities (low vs. medium) of continuous dialysis for people with sudden kidney failure in the ICU. It aims to find which level of treatment works best for critically ill patients.
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
