Hidden kidney risk during nose surgery? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07328620
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether intentionally lowering blood pressure during nose surgeries (like rhinoplasty) might cause hidden kidney injury. Researchers measured two sensitive kidney biomarkers (NGAL and cystatin C) in 35 adults before and after surgery. The goal was to detect early, silent kidney stress that standard tests might miss.
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 this study finds that permissive hypotension causes hidden kidney stress, it could lead to safer blood pressure management during surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 35 participants. It measures temporary biomarker changes, not long-term kidney damage, so results may not change practice.

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 aged 18-65 years undergoing elective rhinologic surgery under controlled hypotension anesthesia at a single tertiary care center will be enrolled. The study population consists of otherwise healthy individuals (ASA I-II) without known kidney disease and without major comorbidities that could independently affect renal function.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18-65 years * Scheduled for elective rhinologic surgery (rhinoplasty, septoplasty, or functional endoscopic sinus surgery) * ASA physical status I-II * Able to provide written informed consent * Undergoing controlled hypotension anesthesia as part of routine clinical management Exclusion Criteria: * Known chronic kidney disease (baseline creatinine above normal range or documented CKD) * Uncontrolled hypertension or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus * Contraindications to controlled hypotensive anesthesia * Pregnant or breastfeeding women * History of major cardiovascular disease affecting renal perfusion (e.g., severe heart failure) * Use of nephrotoxic medications preoperatively that may interfere with renal biomarker interpretation * Perioperative complications requiring deviation from routine anesthetic management (e.g., major bleeding or hemodynamic instability)
