Kidney injury and coming off a ventilator
Part of Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) affects how well patients can come off a breathing machine. It aims to help doctors better plan breathing trials for patients with kidney issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) on a breathing machine (ventilator) and expected to stay on it for at least 24 hours.
- Your blood pressure is stable enough to try a first breathing test.
- You do not have severe kidney failure that already requires regular dialysis.
- You do not have a tracheostomy (breathing tube through the neck) before this ICU stay.
- You are not receiving comfort care only (meaning no further treatments planned).

This study looks at how different breathing machine settings affect the heart, lungs, and kidneys in critically ill patients. Researchers will adjust ventilator pressure to find the safest level for your kidneys.
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 trial tests if a drug called vasopressin can help prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. It's for adults in the ICU who have a predicted risk score of 5 or higher based on their lab and health data.
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 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.
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.
