Preventing sudden kidney injury after major surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific prevention intervention can reduce the chance of acute kidney injury (a sudden kidney problem) after major surgery compared with usual care. It focuses on people considered higher risk after their operation.
