Can we predict stent infections before they happen?
NCT ID NCT07760792
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study follows 300 adults who receive a temporary Double-J ureteral stent for routine urological reasons. Researchers will check the stent and urine for bacteria when the stent is removed, and look for links to factors like how long the stent was in place, diabetes, kidney disease, past infections, and antibiotic use. The goal is to better understand what raises the risk of bacterial colonization and whether it leads to infections or symptoms.
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 help identify patients at higher risk of stent-related infections and guide strategies to prevent them.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or stent types.
