Can a simple drug help predict kidney trouble in sepsis?
NCT ID NCT05939245
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study from Indonesia University looked at 40 ICU patients with sepsis-related acute kidney injury. Researchers compared those who received the diuretic furosemide to a control group, measuring a protein called pNGAL in the blood as a marker of kidney damage. The goal was to see if early use of furosemide could help predict or improve kidney outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- furosemide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict and manage kidney injury in sepsis patients more effectively.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (40 participants) that measures a biomarker, not a direct treatment outcome. Results may not apply to all patients.
