NCT ID NCT04962412
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at over 3,000 heart surgery patients who developed acute kidney injury. Researchers tested new biomarkers to see if they could predict which patients would get worse. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and improve care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better tools for doctors to predict which patients will have worsening kidney problems after heart surgery, allowing earlier treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This was an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it does not test any new therapy. The biomarkers may not prove accurate enough for routine use.
