A wearable sensor might spot kidney danger before it strikes
NCT ID NCT07749417
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a new monitoring device can predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in adults undergoing heart surgery or procedures using contrast dye. The device measures kidney function in real time through the skin after a fluorescent tracer is injected. Researchers will track these measurements to see if they can warn of AKI earlier than standard blood tests. The goal is to improve early detection and potentially prevent serious kidney damage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- transcutaneous fluorescence glomerular filtration rate (GFR) monitoring
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a real-time early warning system that flags kidney injury hours before current tests, allowing faster treatment and potentially preventing severe kidney damage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a treatment. The monitoring method may not prove accurate enough in practice, and results may not apply to all patients or hospital settings.
