New dialysis technique may help critically ill patients stay stable
NCT ID NCT07529990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 120 critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and shock who needed dialysis. Researchers compared a special method called sodium profiling dialysis to standard dialysis to see if it helped keep blood pressure stable and reduced fluid buildup in the lungs. The goal was to find a safer way to perform dialysis in very sick patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * • Adult Patients (18 years or older) who are admitted in ICU. * AKI (either de novo or superimposed on CKD) as defined by (KDIGO 2023) criteria: an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) by ≥0.3 mg/dL within 48 hours, an increase in SCr to ≥1.5 times baseline within the prior 7 days, or a urine output of \<0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours. * Hemodynamic instability and they need vasopressor to maintain their mean blood pressure above 65 mmHg for ≥1-2 h before initiation of HD. * Indicated for intermittent acute hemodialysis (IHD) per treating team (e.g., refractory hyperkalemia, severe acidosis, uremic complications, or fluid overload). Exclusion Criteria: * • Patients with hemodynamic instability who are not responsive to vasopressors and not candidate for intermittent hemodialysis. * ESRD on regular HD. * Patient judged unsafe for IHD as Severe uncontrolled arrhythmia, active myocardial ischemia active intracranial pathology at risk from osmotic/sodium shifts. * Severe dysnatremia: serum Na ≤125 or ≥150 mmol/L.
