NCT ID NCT06772025
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is observing 200 adults scheduled for heart surgery to understand why some develop acute kidney injury afterward. Researchers will collect blood and urine samples before and after surgery to measure biomarkers linked to kidney damage. No experimental treatments are given—participants receive standard care. The goal is to uncover mechanisms that could lead to future prevention strategies.
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 study could help identify early warning signs and potential targets for future treatments to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no treatment being tested, so it will not directly help participants. Results may not lead to new therapies for years, if at all.
