Early kidney injury test for ICU patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years or older.
- You are in the ICU or about to be admitted.
- You have a urine sample taken within 24 hours of ICU admission.
- You have at least one of these: need for blood pressure medicine, breathing support, high oxygen needs, high lactate level, or a history of organ or bone marrow transplant.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in prison.
- You have not had kidney replacement therapy (dialysis) in the first 24 hours of ICU stay.
- You do not have an active urinary tract infection, advanced chronic kidney disease, or certain kidney or bladder cancers.
- You have not had certain urologic procedures (like stent placement or kidney biopsy) in the last 30 days, or a kidney removal in the last 3 months.

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
