Can fluid tracking prevent kidney damage in the ICU?
NCT ID NCT07338734
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 120 critically ill adults in the ICU to see if the amount of fluid they receive in the first 48 hours is linked to developing acute kidney injury (AKI). Researchers will track fluids hourly and check kidney function for up to 7 days. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors manage fluids better and reduce AKI risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward better fluid management strategies to lower the risk of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks for links, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all ICU patients.
