Understanding kidney injury risk factors in hospitalized children
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks for warning signs that help doctors predict which children in intensive care might develop acute kidney injury (sudden loss of kidney function). By identifying these risk factors early, doctors may be able to help prevent or manage kidney problems better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 1 month and 18 years old
- Child is admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Assiut University Children Hospital
- Child has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury using standard medical criteria (KDIGO)
- Child does not have chronic kidney disease (long-term kidney problems)
- Child was not born with kidney abnormalities or structural problems

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.
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 looks back at adults who visited certain hospitals in South Korea to understand what leads to acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) and how it affects recovery. It compares people who had this condition with similar people who did not, to identify risk factors.
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 newborns who develop acute kidney injury in the neonatal intensive care unit. It aims to understand how common it is and what biomarkers might help diagnose it early.
This trial looks at how often children develop kidney problems after major surgery that isn't on the heart or kidneys. The goal is to learn more about these injuries and how to prevent them.
