Ultrasound-guided belly catheter placement for urgent dialysis in children
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at placing a dialysis catheter (a soft tube) into the belly using ultrasound guidance to start dialysis quickly. It may help children with sudden kidney failure who need urgent treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or younger.
- You have been diagnosed with acute kidney injury (sudden kidney failure).
- You need dialysis right away and peritoneal dialysis (using the belly lining) is an option.
- You have not had major abdominal surgery recently, and you do not have a diaphragmatic hernia or a VP shunt (a tube in the brain).
- You do not have an untreated belly infection or a severe bleeding disorder that would make the procedure risky.
- Your parent or legal guardian must give written permission.

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 looks at how kidney ultrasound can help monitor critically ill patients who need continuous dialysis for acute kidney injury. The results may help doctors better manage treatment.
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 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 tests a special urinary catheter that measures pressure in your belly during heart surgery. The goal is to see if it helps protect your kidneys by tracking blood flow to them.
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.
