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 tests a scoring system to help doctors find kidney problems in newborns early. It may help improve care for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
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 trial studies babies under 28 days old who have acute kidney injury (when the kidneys suddenly stop working well). It aims to better understand the condition in newborns in intensive care, which may help improve care and treatment.
This study looks at how newborn babies who had acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function) recover over the long term. By following these babies, researchers hope to learn more about kidney health in childhood and beyond.
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.
