Kidney injury and weaning from a breathing machine
Part of Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) affects how well and how quickly people in the ICU can come off a breathing machine. If you are on a ventilator and your kidneys are being monitored, this trial may help doctors understand your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the ICU and on a breathing machine (ventilator) with a tube in your windpipe.
- You are expected to need the breathing machine for at least 24 hours.
- Your blood pressure is stable enough to try breathing on your own, even with low-dose blood pressure medicine.
- Your doctors can check your kidney function daily through blood tests and urine output.

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 looks at whether low blood creatinine levels can help predict which patients will need a breathing machine for a long time or have trouble coming off it. If you are under 18 and in a post-ICU care unit, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how continuous kidney support (a machine that helps filter waste when kidneys aren't working well) affects how long patients stay in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand if this treatment changes recovery time for critically ill patients.
This trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
This study looks at acute kidney injury in patients who are very sick in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney problems in these patients.
This study tracks how often kidney problems occur in ICU patients. By watching your kidney function during your stay, researchers hope to better understand and prevent kidney injury in critically ill people.
