Simple blood test may predict infection after kidney stone surgery
NCT ID NCT04669886
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a blood test that measures endotoxin levels can predict the risk of infection after a type of kidney stone surgery called percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Researchers will enroll 150 adults scheduled for this surgery and measure their endotoxin levels before and after the procedure. The goal is to see if higher levels are linked to complications like fever or systemic inflammation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test that helps doctors identify patients at high risk for infection after kidney stone surgery, allowing for earlier treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The blood test may not accurately predict infections, and results may not apply to all patients.
