NCT ID NCT06959446
First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026
Summary
This study looked at nearly 30,000 older adults (65+) having non-cardiac surgery to see if levels of homocysteine, a substance in the blood, are linked to complications like kidney injury or death. Researchers measured homocysteine before and after surgery. The goal was to find out if changes in this marker can help doctors identify patients at higher risk, so they can plan better care. The study does not test a treatment, but aims to improve understanding and monitoring.
