Could less dialysis be better? new trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06446739
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a lower dose of continuous dialysis (CRRT) is safe and works as well as the standard dose for critically ill patients with acute kidney failure in the ICU. About 100 adults who need dialysis will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard dose or a lower dose. The goal is to see if the lower dose can reduce costs and side effects while still providing good care.
