Blood test may forecast kidney outcome in sepsis patients
NCT ID NCT07295392
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether levels of a protein called uromodulin in the blood can help predict how well kidneys recover in adults with sepsis-related acute kidney injury. Researchers will measure uromodulin at the start, after one week, and at hospital discharge in 30 patients. The goal is to see if this protein can forecast complete kidney recovery, length of ICU stay, or death within 30 days.
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 help doctors predict which sepsis patients with kidney injury will recover fully versus develop chronic kidney disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants. The findings may not apply to all patients or lead to any treatment changes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years 2. Septic patients with AKI: Diagnosis of sepsis is based on combination of variables including Sepsis-3 criteria within 24 hours of ICU admission(suspected or confirmed infection on clinical , lab and imaging evidence , acute increase in SOFA score =\>2 points( or presence of septic shock). The latter is defined by a vasopressor requirement to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 65 mm Hg or greater and serum lactate level greater than 2 mmol/L (\>18 mg/dL) in the absence of hypovolemia (Singer et al 2016). 3. Diagnosis of AKI according to KDIGO-criteria ( increase creatinine by =\>0.3 mg/dl ( =\>26.5 micmol/l ) within 48 hrs or increase cr =\>1.5 × baseline within 7days or urine output \< 0.5 ml / kg / hr for =\> 6hrs) 4. Informed consent obtained and in case patient is unable to sign the consent his next of kin or has power Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients diagnosed with ESRD or kidney transplantation 2. Other causes of AKI 3. Pregnancy related causes of AKI 4. Active immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., high-dose steroids, chemotherapy) 5. Patients with background of adult polycystic kidney disease 6. Patients with cardiac failure 7. Patients with solitary kidney because of small renal mass that could affect uromodulin level.
