New care plan aims to keep kidney patients out of the hospital
NCT ID NCT07670520
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a personalized care plan at hospital discharge helps people who survived acute kidney injury recover better. Depending on their risk level, patients get education, a primary care visit, or specialist monitoring. The goal is to see if this approach increases the number of days patients are alive and out of the hospital.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- risk-individualized care plan (education, primary care referral, nephrologist care)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a standard follow-up care pathway that reduces hospital readmissions and improves outcomes for acute kidney injury survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pragmatic trial testing a care coordination approach, not a new drug or device. The intervention may not significantly reduce hospital-free days or readmissions compared to usual care.
