Summary

This study is looking for new markers in blood and urine that could predict kidney injury after heart surgery in high-risk patients. Researchers will follow about 1,500 adults undergoing open-heart surgery and check for kidney problems within a week. The goal is to find better ways to identify who is at risk, so doctors can act sooner.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors identify patients at high risk for kidney injury after heart surgery earlier, potentially leading to better preventive care.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. The biomarkers may not prove accurate enough to change clinical practice, and results may not apply to all patients.
