Protein Amount in Nutrition for Critically Ill Kidney Patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether different amounts of protein in tube feeding or IV nutrition affect kidney recovery in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with kidney injury. The goal is to find the best protein level to help kidneys heal while patients are critically ill.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and admitted to an ICU
- You receive all nutrition through a tube into your stomach or through an IV line (not eating regular food)
- You have acute kidney injury or worsening kidney disease, shown by a recent change in kidney function blood tests
- You do not have severe liver disease or end-stage kidney disease requiring dialysis at hospital admission
- You do not have a history of kidney transplant
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or less

This study tests different amounts of protein given through a feeding tube to patients on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers want to see if the right amount of protein helps critically ill patients recover better.
This study tests whether giving extra protein through a feeding tube can help ICU patients maintain muscle strength. It may be an option for people who are expected to stay in the ICU for at least a week and need a breathing machine.
This study tests whether giving a different protein through tube feeding can help critically ill adults in the ICU. You may be eligible if you are already receiving nutrition through a stomach or gut tube and are on a breathing machine.
This trial tests whether a high-protein diet or standard protein diet is better for critically ill patients who are at risk for refeeding syndrome (dangerous shifts in fluids and minerals when starting nutrition after starvation). The goal is to see which type of nutrition helps recovery.
This study looks at whether giving protein continuously or all at once is better for children in intensive care. The goal is to find the most effective way to support recovery.
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a blood protein through an IV) can improve recovery after acute kidney injury in people who are in the ICU and need kidney support treatment. It mainly aims to help the kidneys bounce back better after this serious illness.
