Smart nursing cuts kidney damage risk in liver cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07681817
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a personalized nursing program can prevent acute kidney injury (AKI) in people with liver cancer who undergo interventional therapy. Researchers first use a prediction model to classify patients into low, moderate, or high risk for AKI. Then, they provide targeted nursing care—like hydration support and medication management—based on each patient's risk level. The goal is to see if this proactive approach lowers AKI rates compared to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- risk-stratified proactive nursing intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce kidney injury after liver cancer procedures and improve patient recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with 200 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so effects may be modest.

Inclusion Criteria: * Completed eligibility screening in Phase I of the study * Completed AKI risk assessment using the established prediction model * Classified by the model as at risk for AKI (moderate- or high-risk patients prioritized; low-risk patients included only for exploratory/observational analysis) * Conscious and able to communicate effectively * Able to understand and comply with nursing interventions * Expected hospital stay of at least 3 days * Available for postoperative follow-up * Provided written informed consent jointly with a primary caregiver Exclusion Criteria: * Development of AKI within 24 hours after interventional therapy according to KDIGO criteria * Severe psychiatric disorders, cognitive impairment, or communication barriers preventing participation in HBM-based assessment or intervention * Requirement for postoperative ICU admission and continuous life-support therapy * Mandatory use of nephrotoxic medications that cannot be discontinued, substituted, or adjusted during the study period * Participation in other clinical intervention studies that may affect renal function or nursing outcomes
