Computer alert aims to catch kidney danger early

NCT ID NCT03590028

First seen May 17, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a real-time computer alert that predicts acute kidney injury (AKI) can help doctors step in early to prevent or reduce kidney damage. About 180 hospitalized adults at risk for AKI will be randomly assigned to either standard care or early kidney specialist care triggered by the alert. The main goal is to see if the early intervention leads to smaller increases in a key kidney function marker called creatinine.
