NCT ID NCT03263325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a substance called UDP-glucose in urine can help doctors find kidney injury earlier in children after heart surgery. Current tests often miss early signs, delaying treatment. About 305 children under 8 years old having heart surgery will provide urine samples to see if this new marker works better.
