Bladder pressure changes during dialysis in intensive care patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial aims to see how special dialysis treatment (called CRRT) changes the pressure inside your belly, which might help doctors make better treatment decisions. If you are in the intensive care unit and need this treatment, your participation could improve care for future patients with similar needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently admitted to the intensive care unit.
- You are scheduled to receive continuous renal replacement therapy (dialysis that runs continuously).
- You must have a Foley catheter (a tube that drains urine) in place to measure the pressure inside your belly.
- You are not pregnant and have no open abdomen, bladder surgery history, pelvic injury, or other conditions that might affect pressure readings.

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 study looks at how long patients with serious illness stay in the intensive care unit when they receive a type of kidney treatment called continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). It may help doctors understand the impact of this treatment on recovery time.
This study looks at how to safely remove excess fluid from patients in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure and are on a special blood-filtering machine (CRRT). Researchers want to understand which patients have trouble tolerating fluid removal and how to prevent complications.
This study uses ultrasound imaging of the heart to predict which patients may have sudden drops in blood pressure when starting a type of dialysis called CVVHDF. The goal is to help doctors better manage patients during this procedure, which may reduce complications.
This trial compares the usual dose of continuous dialysis with a lower dose to see if a lower dose is just as safe and effective for critically ill patients with sudden kidney failure.
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.
