New ultrasound method aims to improve fluid balance in kidney patients on dialysis
NCT ID NCT07346118
First seen Jan 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests whether using a special ultrasound technique (mVExUS) to guide how much fluid is removed during dialysis can improve outcomes for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. 126 ICU adults will be randomly assigned to either ultrasound-guided or standard fluid management. The main goal is to see if the ultrasound approach leads to a better fluid balance over 72 hours and fewer complications like low blood pressure.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ultrasound-guided fluid management (mVExUS protocol)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more precise way to manage fluid levels in critically ill patients with kidney injury, potentially reducing complications and improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (126 participants) testing a procedural change, not a new drug. The ultrasound method may not prove better than standard care, and results may not apply to all ICU patients.
