NCT ID NCT04608149
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows about 36 children weighing 2.5-10 kg who have acute kidney injury or fluid overload and are treated with the Carpediem continuous renal replacement therapy system. Researchers will track survival, kidney recovery, and hospital stay lengths to see how well the device works in real-world intensive care settings.
