Could a simple dialysis change save ICU patients from fluid overload?
NCT ID NCT03329313
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two sodium levels (140 vs 145 mmol/l) in the dialysis fluid given to ICU patients with acute kidney injury. The goal is to see if the lower sodium level reduces dangerous fluid buildup while still keeping blood pressure stable during treatment. About 158 adults will take part, and their fluid balance and dialysis tolerance will be closely monitored.
