Study tracking kidney injury using blood creatinine changes
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at people with acute (sudden) kidney injury, based on changes in a blood test called creatinine. By tracking these patterns during hospitalization, it may help improve how acute kidney injury is identified and managed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with sudden kidney injury based on changes in blood creatinine (KDIGO 2012 criteria)
- You have creatinine blood test results at least twice during your hospital stay
- You do not already have end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure stage 5)
- You have not had a kidney removed (nephrectomy) and have not had a kidney transplant
- Your highest creatinine level is at least 53 µmol/L
- Your creatinine cannot be changing only because of amputation (it should not decrease after amputation)

This research study is collecting information about people with moderate to severe acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) who are treated in specialized kidney hospital units. The goal is to better understand how patients recover and what happens to their kidney function 3 months after admission.
This study looks at what factors might predict acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) in people who come to the emergency room with acute decompensated heart failure (a sudden worsening of heart failure). The goal is to help doctors identify who is at highest risk so they can take steps to protect the kidneys.
This study looks at acute kidney injury in patients who are very sick in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney problems in these patients.
This study looks at whether certain blood test results (triglyceride and glucose) can help predict acute kidney injury in ICU patients. It aims to find early warning signs so doctors can act sooner.
This study helps doctors better assess how well kidneys recover after acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function during hospitalization). You may be asked to participate in interviews, workshops, or have some medical measurements taken to help improve patient care.
This study is testing new ways to predict kidney problems after heart surgery. Researchers will look at special markers in the blood or urine to see if they can better identify patients whose kidneys may not recover well.
