Blood test may spot kidney risk early in pancreatitis
NCT ID NCT07335757
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether the ratio of C-reactive protein to albumin (CAR) in the blood can help predict acute kidney injury in people with acute pancreatitis. Researchers will measure CAR in 150 adults admitted to Assiut University Hospitals and see how it relates to kidney problems. The goal is to find a cheap, easy way to catch kidney damage early.
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 could provide a simple, cost-effective blood test to predict kidney injury early in pancreatitis patients, improving outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not confirm a strong link, and results may not apply to all patients or settings.
