Using pressure readings to predict kidney injury
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a certain pressure measurement can predict if you might develop a sudden kidney problem while in the ICU. It is an observational study, meaning no extra treatments are given, but the information may help doctors identify risks earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for less than 48 hours.
- You have a central venous catheter (a tube in a large vein) for pressure monitoring.
- You have a radial artery catheter (a small tube in your wrist) for blood pressure monitoring.
- You do not have acute kidney injury when you enter the ICU.
- You are not on dialysis, have not had a kidney transplant, are not pregnant, and do not need ECMO (a heart-lung support machine).

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 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 whether certain blood tests can help predict if a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) will develop acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function). It may help doctors detect kidney problems earlier and improve care for ICU patients.
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 study looks at whether a simple blood test (the ratio of platelets to albumin) can help predict if patients in the ICU will develop acute kidney injury (a sudden decrease in kidney function). If you are in the ICU, this test might help doctors detect kidney problems earlier and potentially improve care.
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.
