Early dialysis for kidney support in cardiogenic shock
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether starting dialysis earlier in the intensive care unit helps people with cardiogenic shock (when the heart cannot pump enough blood) who also have too much fluid in their body. It aims to see if early kidney support improves recovery compared to waiting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and are in the intensive care unit.
- You have been diagnosed with a severe form of cardiogenic shock (the heart is not pumping enough).
- Your body has extra fluid (fluid overload) that may be measured or cause symptoms.
- Your care team has not yet decided about dialysis, and you have not had dialysis in the last 30 days.
- You do not have severe kidney failure already, and you have not had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital.

This trial tests whether starting kidney replacement therapy faster or at the usual time improves outcomes for people with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) and develop sudden kidney injury.
This study compares two ways of giving kidney dialysis to patients who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It aims to find which method works better for filtering the blood.
This study looks at how dialysis (renal replacement therapy) is used for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) with severe acute kidney injury in Latin America. Your participation can help improve care for people with kidney problems.
This study tests whether using a specific salt (sodium) level in the dialysis fluid affects outcomes for adults in the ICU with sudden kidney failure. It may help your care team optimize dialysis settings during acute kidney injury.
This trial looks at whether starting dialysis-related care early, aimed at improving blood flow to tissues, can help people in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure. It may help reduce problems related to poor tissue circulation, but it is very specific about ICU illness and current treatments.
This study looks at the best timing for starting kidney support treatment (dialysis) in very sick people in the ICU. It may help improve outcomes by comparing different start times.
