Common antibiotic may shield kidney patients from dangerous Post-Hospital infections

NCT ID NCT07224997

Summary

This study is testing whether a common antibiotic (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, also known as Bactrim) can prevent infections in adults who are leaving the hospital after experiencing acute kidney injury. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to take either the antibiotic or a placebo pill every other day for 90 days after going home. Researchers will track them for 6 months to see if the antibiotic reduces infections, hospital readmissions, and other health problems.
