Scientists probe hidden link between belly pressure and kidneys
NCT ID NCT03707054
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how a controlled increase in belly pressure (from laparoscopic surgery) affects a hormone called vasopressin and kidney function. Researchers measured pressure, optic nerve size, and urine output in 16 patients having weight-loss surgery. The goal was to better understand how the body compensates during abdominal compartment syndrome, not to test a treatment.
