-
Coordinated Communication, Education, and Care Transitions After Acute Kidney Injury (CONNECT-AKI)
This study tests whether a discharge summary template and a chat-based education program help adults with AKI understand their condition and follow up after leaving the hospital.
-
Hamburg Acute Renal Injury (HARIS) cohort
This project will follow adults hospitalized with AKI and a group of similar hospitalized patients without AKI to test which clinical factors and blood or urine markers predict recovery and longer-term kidney and cardiovascular problems.
-
Monitoring kidney oxygen with NIRS in babies born before 30 weeks
This will test whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can track kidney oxygen levels in babies born before 30 weeks to spot patterns linked to acute kidney injury.
-
AST-120 (Kremezin) for kidney protection and slowing decline after acute kidney disease
This study will test whether adding AST-120 (Kremezin) to standard care lowers protein-bound uremic toxins and helps slow kidney decline in adults recovering from acute kidney disease.
-
Comparing two medications to prevent kidney injury after major surgery
This study is testing which medication, norepinephrine or phenylephrine, works better to prevent kidney injury in adults having major surgery.
-
Evaluating the safety of Prismocitrate 18 for patients on continuous renal replacement therapy
This study is testing if a new solution called Prismocitrate 18 is safe for patients on a special type of kidney treatment to help prevent blood clots during their therapy.
