Can vein pressure predict kidney injury in the ICU?
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks whether the pressure difference between your veins and heart can predict if you will develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) while in the intensive care unit. It uses data from tubes already placed in your body for routine care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for less than 2 days (48 hours)
- You have a central line (a tube in a large vein near your heart) to measure pressure
- You have an arterial line (a tube in a wrist artery) to monitor blood pressure
- You did not have acute kidney injury when you first came to the ICU

This study tests whether a special ultrasound with contrast agent can help predict if you might develop acute kidney injury after a serious trauma. It focuses on patients in the ICU who have had a major injury and received blood products.
This study uses a special ultrasound to check for fluid buildup in the veins (called venous congestion) and see if it is linked to kidney injury in ICU patients. It may help doctors understand how to prevent kidney problems during critical illness.
This study tracks how often kidney problems occur in ICU patients. By watching your kidney function during your stay, researchers hope to better understand and prevent kidney injury in critically ill people.
This trial tests if a special tool can predict and prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during dialysis in ICU patients with kidney problems. It might help make dialysis safer and more comfortable.
This trial tests if a drug called vasopressin can help prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. It's for adults in the ICU who have a predicted risk score of 5 or higher based on their lab and health data.
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.
