Summary

This study tests whether giving extra caffeine to very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) can improve kidney oxygen levels and reduce kidney injury. About 114 babies already receiving standard caffeine will get either an extra dose or a placebo. Researchers will monitor kidney and brain oxygen for safety and track outcomes until the baby leaves the NICU.
