Timing of shock wave therapy may spare kidneys from hidden harm
NCT ID NCT07341269
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study involved 50 adults with kidney stones who received shock wave therapy (ESWL) to break up stones. Researchers wanted to see if waiting longer between treatment sessions caused less kidney damage. They measured two proteins in urine (NGAL and KIM-1) that signal kidney injury. The goal was to find the safest time gap between sessions.
