Could permanent dialysis access replace catheters in ICU kidney therapy?
NCT ID NCT07447128
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using a patient's permanent dialysis access (a fistula or graft) instead of a temporary catheter is safe and effective for delivering continuous kidney replacement therapy in the ICU. Researchers will enroll 50 adults with end-stage kidney disease who are in the ICU and need this therapy. The goal is to develop a standard procedure and see if the access stays usable without complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Cannulation of permanent dialysis access (arteriovenous fistula or graft) for continuous renal replacement therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a safer, standard way to deliver continuous kidney therapy in the ICU, reducing infections and blood vessel damage from repeated catheter use.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure requires highly trained staff and may not be practical in all ICU settings.
