A wearable sensor might spot kidney danger before it strikes
NCT ID NCT07749417
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a new monitoring device can predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in adults undergoing heart surgery or procedures using contrast dye. The device measures kidney function in real time through the skin after a fluorescent tracer is injected. Researchers will track these measurements to see if they can warn of AKI earlier than standard blood tests. The goal is to improve early detection and potentially prevent serious kidney damage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- transcutaneous fluorescence glomerular filtration rate (GFR) monitoring
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a real-time early warning system that flags kidney injury hours before current tests, allowing faster treatment and potentially preventing severe kidney damage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a treatment. The monitoring method may not prove accurate enough in practice, and results may not apply to all patients or hospital settings.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery or receiving iodinated contrast media who are at risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), as well as patients diagnosed with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) or contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), will be prospectively enrolled. Participants will undergo perioperative or peri-procedural transcutaneous glomerular filtration rate (GFR) monitoring to evaluate GFR trajectories for the early prediction and diagnosis of AKI.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years old; 2. Specific inclusion criteria for the cohort: * GFR trajectory characterization after cardiovascular surgery or Iodine contrast agent exposure: Patients scheduled for elective cardiovascular surgery or interventional cardiovascular surgery or CTA; ② GFR trajectory characterization of AKI: Patients with confirmed CSA-AKI or contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Received renal replacement therapy before surgery or before contrast imaging, including kidney transplantation and regular dialysis; 2. Serum creatinine \> 353 μmol/L before surgery or before contrast imaging; 3. Patients with AKI who did not recover before surgery or before contrast imaging; 4. Patients with malignant tumors.
