NCT ID NCT02050269

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a dye called iohexol can be used to measure kidney function in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with unstable kidneys. About 100 adults with acute circulatory failure took part. The goal was to see if tracking how fast the body clears the dye gives a reliable estimate of kidney function, which could help doctors detect kidney injury earlier.
