New study aims to stop bleeding in kidney stone surgery

NCT ID NCT07668817

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether using a hemostatic agent (a substance that stops bleeding) during kidney stone surgery can reduce blood loss compared to standard care. About 92 adults with kidney stones will be randomly assigned to receive either a hemostatic agent or no agent during their procedure. The main goal is to see if hemoglobin levels (a measure of red blood cells) drop less after surgery with the agent.
