Urine biomarkers may spot kidney damage before standard tests do
NCT ID NCT07704242
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks at whether two urine markers, NGAL and KIM-1, can detect early kidney injury in women undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. The surgery involves gas inflation and a head-down position that can stress the kidneys. Researchers will compare these markers in patients positioned at 30° versus 45° head-down tilt to see if they reveal damage before standard blood tests do.
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 catch kidney damage earlier during laparoscopic surgeries, potentially preventing serious injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, so results may not apply to all patients or surgeries. The biomarkers may not prove reliable enough for routine use.
