Can urine tests predict kidney trouble in lung patients?
NCT ID NCT06409624
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This observational study follows 350 adults with pulmonary hypertension to see if certain biomarkers in urine and blood are linked to worsening kidney function. Participants undergo standard tests but receive no experimental treatment. The goal is to better understand how kidney decline happens in these patients, not to test a new therapy.
