Baby blood test may predict surgical recovery
NCT ID NCT06731855
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study measures two natural amino acids, arginine and ADMA, in newborns who had abdominal surgery within their first 5 days of life. Researchers want to see if the balance of these substances can help predict how quickly a baby recovers and whether complications arise. No extra blood draws are needed—only leftover samples from routine tests are used. The goal is to gather information that could lead to future treatments to improve recovery.
