Outpatient Recovery From Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis

Status:
Recruiting
Trial end date:

Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
All
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. 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.
