Stomach bleeding linked to kidney damage: new study to track who is at risk
NCT ID NCT07636083
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 200 adults hospitalized with upper gastrointestinal bleeding to see how many develop acute kidney injury. Researchers will also look for factors that make kidney damage more likely, such as the cause of bleeding. No new treatments are being tested—patients receive standard care.
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 study could help doctors identify which patients with upper GI bleeding are at highest risk for kidney injury, allowing earlier monitoring and prevention.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't test any new therapy. Results may not apply to hospitals outside of Egypt or to patients with different health profiles.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients aged 18 years or older * Patients presenting with clinical features suggestive of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), including hematemesis, coffee-ground vomiting, or melena * Diagnosis of UGIB confirmed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy or strong clinical evidence when endoscopy is not immediately available * Patients admitted to Sohag University Hospitals (medical wards or intensive care unit) * Availability of renal function data, including at least one serum creatinine measurement at admission and serial measurements during hospitalization * Availability of baseline renal function (previous serum creatinine within 3-12 months) or estimable baseline during hospitalization Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on chronic dialysis * Patients with a history of renal transplantation * Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease stage 5 (eGFR \<15 mL/min/1.73 m²) not on dialysis * Patients with lower gastrointestinal bleeding * Patients with incomplete or missing essential renal function data * Patients discharged or deceased within 24 hours of hospital admission * Pregnant patients * Patients with acute kidney injury at presentation due to causes other than UGIB
