Doctors question daily ritual for kidney tube patients
NCT ID NCT06987877
Summary
This study aims to find out if patients with a kidney drainage tube (nephrostomy) need to flush it daily with salt water to prevent clogs. Researchers will randomly assign 20 participants to either continue their normal flushing routine or to stop flushing for about three months. The goal is to gather evidence on whether this common practice actually helps prevent tube blockages or if it might be unnecessary.
