New monitoring methods could protect kidneys during surgery
NCT ID NCT07635160
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study watches how blood flows to the kidneys in 51 adults having elective minimally invasive abdominal surgery. Researchers use two non-invasive tools—ultrasound and light sensors—to measure kidney function at key times during and after surgery. The goal is to see if these tools can help detect early signs of kidney stress and prevent acute kidney injury.
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 better ways to monitor kidney health during surgery and reduce the risk of acute kidney injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, so it cannot prove that any monitoring method prevents kidney damage. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.

Who is studied
Adult patients aged 18-80 years with ASA physical status I-III undergoing elective minimally invasive abdominal surgery at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine. Patients will be prospectively evaluated for perioperative renal perfusion using Doppler ultrasonography and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS).
