First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether continuous blood purification (a slow, steady filtering of the blood) works better than standard non-continuous methods for children with severe sepsis. Researchers will track survival rates and kidney function in 90 children aged 29 days to 18 years. The goal is to find out if the continuous approach improves outcomes and when it should be started.
