NCT ID NCT05036616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 adults on heart-lung support (ECMO) who also needed kidney dialysis (CRRT). Researchers compared two methods of connecting the machines to see which made the dialysis circuit last longer. The goal was to find a better approach for managing these complex treatments together.

Refractory hyperkalemia, defined as serum potassium (K⁺) \> 6.2 mEq/L or presence of electrocardiographic changes 4. Anuria or oliguria, defined as urine output \< 0.5 mL/kg/hr for 6-12 hours 5. Elevated BUN \>100 mg/dL or presence of uremic symptoms Increased intracranial pressure Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnancy 2. Heparin contraindication 3. Chronic kidney disease with CRRT 4. AKI with Glomerulonephritis, Interstitial nephritis, Vassculitis or Urinary tract obstruction
