ICU dialysis study seeks sweet spot for fluid removal
NCT ID NCT06071026
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 39 intensive care patients with acute kidney failure who needed dialysis to remove excess fluid. Researchers tested three different fluid removal rates (1, 2, and 3 ml per kg per hour) to see which caused the fewest drops in blood pressure while still effectively removing fluid. The goal was to find the safest rate to prevent dangerous instability during treatment.
