New wearable patch could track kidney health in real time
NCT ID NCT07632469
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a wearable device that continuously measures kidney function in ICU patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). The device uses a fluorescent tracer and a chest patch to track GFR in real time. Researchers will compare its accuracy to standard lab tests in 50 adults. If it works, it could offer a simpler, non-invasive way to monitor kidney health in critically ill patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transdermal GFR monitoring device (with Lumitrace fluorescent tracer)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a non-invasive, continuous way to monitor kidney function in critically ill patients, potentially improving AKI management.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (50 participants) focused on accuracy, not treatment. The device may not prove reliable enough for routine use, and results may not apply to all AKI patients.
