Managing fluid removal in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are currently in an intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage, not chronic)
- Your doctor has prescribed continuous kidney replacement therapy (CRRT) to remove excess fluid from your body
- Your medical team believes you are stable enough to begin the fluid removal process
- You have not been on long-term dialysis or kidney replacement therapy before coming to the hospital

This study tests when and how much fluid should be removed from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need help getting rid of extra fluid. It uses medicines called diuretics or a machine that filters the blood (ultrafiltration) to find the best approach.
This study looks at how giving fluids to critically ill patients with new kidney injury affects their recovery. It may help doctors decide the right amount of fluid for people with certain health conditions.
This trial studies a medicine strategy to remove extra fluid from the body in ICU patients who have fluid overload. It aims to see whether controlled fluid removal is safer and better for recovery than usual care.
This trial tests whether a faster rate of fluid removal during dialysis can help hospitalized patients with end-stage kidney disease who have severe fluid buildup. It aims to reduce fluid congestion and improve outcomes.
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
This trial looks at whether starting dialysis-related care early, aimed at improving blood flow to tissues, can help people in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure. It may help reduce problems related to poor tissue circulation, but it is very specific about ICU illness and current treatments.
