New blood test could spot hidden belly infections faster

NCT ID NCT07579312

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

Summary

This study is testing a new blood test that looks at RNA (genetic material) to quickly tell if a person with belly pain has an infection inside the abdomen, like appendicitis or diverticulitis. About 1,000 adults and children over age 7 with abdominal pain will give a blood sample, and the test results will be compared to standard methods like CT scans. The goal is to see if this simple blood test can accurately diagnose infections and reduce the need for more invasive or costly imaging.
