Testing urine creatinine levels in healthy newborns
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study measures how quickly creatinine leaves the body in urine during the first days of life. It may help doctors understand normal kidney function in healthy full-term newborns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born full-term at 37 weeks or later
- The pregnancy was not caused by a special medical situation (physiological, spontaneous pregnancy)
- Your baby seems well right after birth, with an Apgar score of 7 or higher at 5 minutes
- Your baby’s weight is in a normal range (above the 10th percentile and below the 90th percentile)
- A urine sample can be collected and read clearly (it must be interpretable)
- There are no major health or lab abnormalities, and your baby does not have early circulation problems (low blood pressure or dehydration/shock needing fluid) in the first 3 days

This study measures a substance called kynurenine in the blood of pregnant women, both with and without chronic kidney disease, to better understand how the body's chemistry changes during pregnancy in these two groups.
This study will collect urine from very premature or very low birth weight babies to look for patterns in natural chemicals (biomarkers). The goal is to find early clues about their health that could lead to better care.
This study offers free urine and ultrasound screening for kidney disease in all newborn infants, with a goal to find and track potential issues early over the first 3 years of life.
This study looks at how newborns who had a sudden kidney injury in the first month of life recover over the long term. It is designed to help doctors understand what happens to their kidneys as they grow up.
This trial looks at how well kidneys work in very premature babies (born before 32 weeks). It uses special sensors to monitor kidney health in the first few days of life.
This study collects blood samples and health information from healthy full-term newborns to establish normal ranges for brain-related markers in early life. Understanding these baseline levels may help doctors better identify babies who need extra care in the future.
