Drug cuts bleeding risk in kidney stone surgery
NCT ID NCT07582341
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving tranexamic acid, a drug that helps blood clot, through a vein and in surgical fluid can reduce bleeding during kidney stone removal. 90 adults with large kidney stones were randomly assigned to receive the drug or a placebo. The goal was to see if it lowers blood loss, improves the surgeon's view, and reduces the need for blood transfusions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
tranexamic acid
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make kidney stone surgery safer by reducing blood loss and the need for blood transfusions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with 90 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and tranexamic acid can rarely cause allergic reactions or blood clots.
