Comparing two kidney function tests in acute kidney injury
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of measuring kidney function in ICU patients with a sudden kidney injury. The results will help doctors know which method is better for adjusting treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 72 hours or less.
- You must have been diagnosed with acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function).
- Your age must be between 18 and 85 years.
- You must be able to give blood and urine samples and be monitored.
- You cannot have advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or worse) before this.
- You cannot have no urine output, recent contrast dye exposure, or a kidney transplant.

This study looks at whether a special way of measuring kidney function during your emergency CT scan can help predict if the contrast dye might harm your kidneys. If you are having an emergency CT with contrast, this study could help doctors watch for kidney problems early.
This study looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
This study tests a new light-based method to check kidney function right after heart surgery or imaging tests that use contrast dye. It aims to catch kidney damage early, so doctors can treat it sooner.
This study tests a urine test that may help find kidney injury early in adults in the intensive care unit (ICU). The test could help doctors act sooner to protect your kidneys.
This study compares two ways of changing the filter in the dialysis machine for people with severe acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit. It looks at whether changing the filter more often (standard) is better or worse than leaving it in longer (shorter filter lifespan).
This study compares different ways of doing dialysis in intensive care to see which works best for helping kidneys recover. It might help you if you are in the ICU with sudden kidney injury.
