New blood test may spot kidney danger in liver patients

NCT ID NCT07452484

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a simple blood test called the Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII) can help diagnose and predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in people with liver cirrhosis. AKI is a common and serious complication in cirrhosis, but current tests are often unreliable. The study will follow 100 hospitalized cirrhosis patients, measuring SII over time to see if it detects kidney problems earlier and helps tell apart different causes. If it works, this cheap and widely available test could improve care for a high-risk group.

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 provide a simple, cheap blood test to detect kidney injury earlier in cirrhosis patients, improving treatment timing.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) that has not yet started. The SII test may not prove reliable enough for routine use.
