NCT ID NCT07440121
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two ways of giving fluids during liver surgery: one that limits fluids and one that gives more. The goal is to see which approach leads to fewer serious problems after surgery, especially kidney injury. About 90 adults having planned liver surgery will take part. The results will help doctors choose the safest fluid strategy.
