AKI risk test for children in the ICU
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to find children in the pediatric ICU who are at risk for serious kidney injury early, so doctors can start treatment sooner. Your child's kidney stress markers will be checked from a blood or urine sample.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is currently admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
- Your child has a kidney risk score (Renal Angina Index) of 8 or higher.
- Your child's urine test shows a protein called NGAL at 150 ng/mL or more.
- Your child has not received dialysis (kidney replacement therapy) before coming to the PICU.

This study tests whether measuring a urine protein called NGAL can help doctors choose the right fluid amount and decide when to start a kidney-filtering treatment called CRRT in critically ill children with kidney injury. If it works, it may help treat kidney problems sooner and more safely.
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 tests whether a simple scoring tool can help doctors predict which ICU patients may develop kidney problems. It may help identify patients at risk early so they can receive closer monitoring.
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 whether a furosemide (a water pill) stress test can help doctors decide when to safely stop continuous kidney replacement therapy in ICU patients with severe acute kidney injury. It may allow you to come off the machine sooner if your kidneys respond well.
This study is testing a combination of methods, including a bedside ultrasound of your kidneys, to help diagnose acute kidney injury that happens as a complication of sepsis. The goal is to find out if this approach can detect kidney problems early so doctors can treat them sooner.
