Protein puzzle: can too much harm kidney recovery in the ICU?

NCT ID NCT07631221

First seen Jun 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looks at 344 critically ill adults with acute kidney injury to find the best protein dose. Researchers will compare patients who got standard protein (≤1.2 g/kg/day) with those who got higher amounts (>1.2 g/kg/day) on day 5 in the ICU. The goal is to see if higher protein helps or hurts kidney recovery within 30 days. No new treatments are given—data is pulled from medical records.
