New urine test may spot kidney danger before it strikes
NCT ID NCT04864847
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new urine test (RENISCHEM L-FABP) to see if it can predict acute kidney injury within 2 days after heart or blood vessel procedures that use contrast dye. Researchers measured a kidney stress marker in 382 adults at higher risk. The goal was to validate the test's ability to catch kidney damage early.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will include patients recruited from a healthcare setting that will be undergoing cardiac or vascular interventional procedures that are at elevated risk for developing AKI. At least 50% of the enrolled population will be undergoing an interventional procedure such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
