Outpatient Recovery From Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis
A Phase 4 study testing ORKID Bundled Intervention and Furosemide in people with Acute Kidney Injury and Dialysis Hypotension, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
There are currently no therapies to improve the chances of recovering enough kidney function to come off of dialysis after severe acute kidney injury. It is not known if current routine outpatient dialysis treatments are optimized to maximize the chances of recovery. Read more about this study

About this study
There are currently no therapies to improve the chances of recovering enough kidney function to come off of dialysis after severe acute kidney injury. It is not known if current routine outpatient dialysis treatments are optimized to maximize the chances of recovery. The purpose of this pilot study is to see if we can feasibly and safely provide several changes to the way that dialysis is provided in outpatient dialysis centers which may improve the chances of recovery.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ORKID Bundled InterventionOther
During the 90-day study period, participants will be prescribed outpatient hemodialysis with cooled dialysate (35-36°C), high sodium dialysate (145 mmol/L), a high ultrafiltration hold threshold (systolic blood pressure > 110 mmHg; ultrafiltration hold threshold will not be applied in participants with baseline systolic blood pressure < 120 mmHg), and high dose diuretics (160 mg oral furosemide twice daily) to be taken every day at home will also be prescribed. Dialysis will be weaned according to an active weaning protocol.
FurosemideDrug
160 mg oral furosemide twice daily to be taken every day at home

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing ORKID Bundled Intervention and Furosemide in people with Acute Kidney Injury and Dialysis Hypotension, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 May 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The Proportion of Patients Who Received the Dialysate Temperature, Dialysate Sodium Concentration, Diuretic Dose, and Ultrafiltration Hold Threshold That Was Ordered at Least Once in the First Two Weeks of Treatment. (time frame: First two weeks of study intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
