First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study reviews medical records from over 50,000 critically ill patients to see if starting dialysis earlier helps them live longer. Researchers will compare patients who started dialysis early versus late, looking at survival up to 90 days and beyond. The goal is to find the best timing for this treatment in intensive care.
