New wearable device could revolutionize kidney monitoring in ICUs

NCT ID NCT07643467

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

Summary

This study will test a new wearable device that measures kidney function in real time, compared to the standard 8-hour urine collection method. Researchers will give 200 critically ill patients two dyes (relmapirazin and iohexol) and use a skin sensor to track how quickly their kidneys clear them. The goal is to see if this faster, less cumbersome method is accurate enough for routine hospital use.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Relmapirazin (Lumitrace) and iohexol

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a faster, more accurate way to measure kidney function in hospitalized patients, helping doctors dose medications more precisely.

What could go wrong

This is an early comparison study, not a treatment trial. The device may not prove more accurate than existing methods, and results may not apply to all patients.
