New study aims to predict kidney damage after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT07330453
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 5,000 adults undergoing heart surgery to develop a way to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) early. Researchers will collect blood and urine samples along with clinical data to build a warning model. The goal is to identify high-risk patients sooner and improve their outcomes. This is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are being tested.
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 lead to a tool that helps doctors identify patients at high risk for kidney injury after heart surgery, allowing for earlier and more personalized care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or intervention, so it cannot directly improve outcomes. The model may also not be accurate enough for widespread use.
