All recruiting trials (12)
-
SP16 to help prevent kidney injury during cardiac surgery in people with CKD
Researchers are testing SP16 to see if it can prevent acute kidney injury in adults with chronic kidney disease who are having heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine.
-
Fluid balance guided by mVExUS in ICU patients on CRRT with acute kidney injury
This trial tests whether using modified venous excess ultrasound (mVExUS) to guide fluid removal in ICU patients on CRRT with AKI can achieve a better fluid balance in the first 72 hours compared with standard care.
-
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and super-resolution imaging to predict kidney function after nephrectomy
This project will test whether special ultrasound scans—contrast-enhanced ultrasound and super-resolution imaging—can help predict kidney function and the risk and recovery of acute kidney injury in adults having partial or radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer.
-
Outpatient recovery after acute kidney injury that required dialysis
This pilot will test whether measuring residual kidney function at hospital discharge and sharing that information with patients and their outpatient nephrologists, plus guidance on monitoring and considering twice-weekly dialysis, helps adults who had acute kidney injury and still need dialysis after leaving the hospi
-
Urine Output Monitoring to Guide Fluid and Diuretic Therapy in Cardiac ICU Patients
This observational study tests how continuous urine output data from the FIZE kUO device can help guide fluid therapy and diuretic use in adults after heart surgery.
-
Using methylprednisolone to prevent kidney injury during heart surgery
This study is testing if giving a single dose of methylprednisolone during heart surgery can help prevent kidney injury after the operation.
-
Investigating kidney blood flow changes after traumatic injury
This study looks at how blood flow to the kidneys changes in patients who have had serious injuries and are at risk for kidney problems after receiving blood products.
-
Evaluating citrate anticoagulation in kidney treatment for liver failure patients
This study is testing if using citrate anticoagulation during kidney treatment helps critically ill patients with liver failure and kidney injury recover better and live longer.
-
Kidney-surface versus limb NIRS monitoring to predict acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery with bypass
This study will try NIRS sensors placed over the kidneys versus on the limbs to see which better predicts acute kidney injury in adults having cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
-
Investigating vancomycin levels in patients on CRRT with oXiris membrane
This study tests how the antibiotic vancomycin works in patients receiving a special type of kidney treatment called CRRT with an oXiris membrane to see if it affects the drug levels in their blood.
-
Comparing two types of filters for treating kidney injury in pneumonia patients
This study is testing which of two filters, Oxiris or M100, works better and is safer for treating kidney injury in patients with pneumonia.
-
Assessing kidney injury mechanisms in sepsis patients using PET imaging
This study is testing how kidney injury happens in people with sepsis and acute kidney injury by using special imaging to look at blood flow and inflammation in their kidneys.
