Simple urine test may spot kidney risk in spina bifida

NCT ID NCT06041334

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

Summary

This study is testing whether certain substances in urine (called biomarkers) can predict kidney damage in people with spina bifida. Researchers will measure these biomarkers in 50 patients and compare them to a standard risk score. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to monitor kidney health, but this is an observational study, not a treatment.

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 to predict kidney damage risk in spina bifida patients, helping doctors intervene earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The biomarkers may not reliably predict kidney damage, and results may not apply to all patients.
