ECMO kidney care: one line or two?

NCT ID NCT06038162

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at two methods for providing kidney dialysis to patients on ECMO (a heart-lung machine). One method uses a separate line for dialysis, while the other connects the dialysis machine directly into the ECMO circuit. The goal is to see if the direct connection works just as well, possibly reducing infections and bleeding. About 158 adults on ECMO who need kidney therapy will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If this trial succeeds, it could show that connecting kidney therapy directly into the ECMO circuit is just as effective as using a separate line, potentially reducing complications.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial focused on equipment performance, not a new drug or cure. The results may not change practice if the integrated method causes safety issues like air bubbles or clotting.
