Massive global study maps kidney injury in sick kids
NCT ID NCT01987921
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at over 5,000 critically ill children from hospitals worldwide to learn more about acute kidney injury (AKI). The goal was to better understand how common AKI is, what puts children at risk, and how to predict it using a tool called 'renal angina.' The study did not test a new treatment but aimed to improve diagnosis and future care.
