Summary
This study compares two blood thinners used during continuous dialysis in adults with sepsis and acute kidney injury. About 1,162 participants will receive either nafamostat mesylate or standard citrate anticoagulation. The main goal is to see which approach reduces death, ongoing dialysis need, or persistent kidney problems within 30 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nafamostat mesylate
- What this could lead to
- If nafamostat works better than citrate, it could reduce death, kidney failure, or the need for ongoing dialysis in sepsis patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 4 trial, but results may not apply to all patients. Nafamostat could cause bleeding or other side effects, and the benefit over citrate is unproven.
