Dialysis with citrate for kidney failure in the ICU
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special blood-filtering treatment for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) with acute kidney injury. It uses a medicine called citrate to prevent blood clotting during dialysis, which may be safer for patients whose liver cannot process citrate normally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU and need kidney dialysis (renal replacement therapy).
- You have signs that your body cannot process citrate well, such as high lactate levels, low blood sugar requiring IV dextrose, or severe liver problems.
- You have developed citrate toxicity during previous dialysis with citrate, meaning your body is not clearing it properly.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a known allergy to citrate compounds.
- You are willing to give informed consent.

This study tests whether a specific blood-thinning method using citrate works safely and effectively in critically ill patients whose kidneys have suddenly stopped working and need a special filtering machine. Researchers want to confirm that this approach prevents dangerous blood clots while keeping patients safe.
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 study compares two ways to prevent blood clots during kidney dialysis in people with sepsis-related kidney failure. The goal is to see which method is safer and works better to keep the dialysis filter working properly.
This study compares different ways of doing dialysis in intensive care to see which works best for helping kidneys recover. It might help you if you are in the ICU with sudden kidney injury.
This study looks at how continuous renal replacement therapy (a type of dialysis) is used in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Participation will help doctors understand how to better support kidney function in critically ill people.
This trial tests a special device that filters parts of the blood to calm inflammation in people with severe acute kidney injury in the ICU. It may help improve recovery and reduce complications by “deactivating” certain immune cells.
