Can a steak dinner reveal how well your kidneys really work?
NCT ID NCT07335614
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether eating a high-protein meal changes kidney function in a way that can be measured by a skin sensor. Researchers will give 25 adults an injection of a fluorescent dye and track how quickly it clears from the body before and after the meal. The goal is to see if this simple test can reliably measure kidney reserve, which is the kidney's ability to boost its filtering rate when needed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Lumitrace (Relmapirazin) injection and high-protein meal
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simpler, non-invasive way to measure kidney reserve, helping doctors better assess kidney health and function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The protein meal may not reliably change kidney function as expected.
