Using scores and biomarkers to predict kidney injury in hospital patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a risk score and blood tests to predict which hospitalized patients might develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage). If you are at high risk, researchers will follow you closely to see if early detection can help prevent serious kidney problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are admitted to a hospital ward, intermediate care, or intensive care unit (not the emergency department).
- Your electronic health record shows a high risk score for kidney injury within the last 12 hours.
- You or your legal representative can read, speak, and understand English to give consent.
- You do not have end-stage kidney disease on dialysis or a kidney transplant.

This study tests whether a simple scoring tool can help doctors predict which ICU patients may develop kidney problems. It may help identify patients at risk early so they can receive closer monitoring.
This study tests a tool that predicts if your kidneys might get injured during surgery. It helps doctors take steps to protect your kidneys while you are in the hospital.
This study tests a decision-support tool to help emergency room doctors better detect and manage acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It may lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes for patients.
This study uses a simple ultrasound test (kidney artery scan) to see if it can predict kidney problems early in people who are very ill. It may help doctors protect your kidneys during your hospital stay.
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.
This study looks at whether certain blood tests can help predict if a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) will develop acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function). It may help doctors detect kidney problems earlier and improve care for ICU patients.
