Kidney injury in critically ill patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 follows adults who stay in the ICU for more than 24 hours to see how an episode of acute kidney failure affects kidney health over the long term. Your participation helps researchers understand which ICU patients may need closer kidney monitoring later.
This research study is collecting information about people with moderate to severe acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) who are treated in specialized kidney hospital units. The goal is to better understand how patients recover and what happens to their kidney function 3 months after admission.
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 looks at how fluid levels affect kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors find the best way to manage fluids for people whose kidneys get injured during their ICU stay.
This study looks at people with acute (sudden) kidney injury, based on changes in a blood test called creatinine. By tracking these patterns during hospitalization, it may help improve how acute kidney injury is identified and managed.
