NCT ID NCT07291778
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will test whether using a special ultrasound technique called VeXUS to guide fluid treatment can help protect kidney function in 100 ICU patients with acute kidney injury. Researchers will compare outcomes like survival, need for dialysis, and lasting kidney damage. The goal is to see if this approach improves care for critically ill adults.
