Simple urine test may predict kidney recovery after acute failure
NCT ID NCT02889575
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 287 patients with acute kidney injury caused by tubular necrosis. Researchers measured two substances in urine (PIIINP and NGAL) to see if they could predict whether kidney function would return or if chronic kidney disease would develop. The goal is to find a simple test that helps doctors make better treatment decisions.
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 a simple urine test that helps doctors predict which patients will recover kidney function and which will develop long-term kidney failure.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The biomarkers may not prove accurate enough for routine use, and results may not apply to all kidney injury patients.
