Timing of kidney dialysis in ICU: could earlier start save days?
NCT ID NCT07586059
First seen Jun 18, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at over 500,000 critically ill adults in Swedish ICUs to see if starting continuous kidney dialysis (CRRT) earlier affects how long they stay in the ICU. About 5% of these patients receive CRRT. Researchers will compare early versus late initiation of dialysis and track ICU length of stay, as well as survival up to one year. The goal is to find the best timing for this common ICU treatment.
