NCT ID NCT07409532
First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested a non-invasive light-based technique called near-infrared spectroscopy to measure oxygen levels in the kidneys during liver transplant surgery. Researchers monitored 41 patients to see if this method could provide real-time information about kidney function. The goal is to find a better way to detect kidney problems early during surgery.

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 successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to monitor kidney health during liver transplants, helping doctors detect problems earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study with only 41 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It only measures oxygen levels, not whether this improves patient outcomes.
