NCT ID NCT05033652
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether quickly alerting a kidney specialist team when hospitalized patients show signs of severe kidney disease could improve survival. Over 1,100 patients in France were included. The team of a nephrologist and pharmacist would help manage care during the hospital stay and plan follow-up after discharge. The goal was to see if this approach reduces deaths one year later.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could reduce deaths and improve kidney care for hospitalized patients with severe kidney disease.
