Can inflammatory clues predict kidney damage in ICU patients?
NCT ID NCT03720860
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is looking at 100 intensive care patients to see if certain inflammatory markers in urine, blood, and sputum can help predict acute kidney injury. The researchers are comparing patients with sepsis, those recovering from major surgery, and non-inflamed individuals. The goal is to better understand how inflammation may lead to kidney damage.
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 for acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It aims to understand the disease, not test a treatment.
