First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique called VExUS can help doctors manage fluids better in ICU patients with acute kidney injury. About 100 adults in intensive care will be observed and some will have their treatment guided by VExUS. The goal is to see if this approach reduces deaths, the need for dialysis, and long-term kidney damage.
