Predicting kidney injury after heart surgery using skin sensors
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special light-based monitor on your skin (near your kidney and arm) can predict kidney injury after heart surgery. It aims to help doctors protect your kidneys during and after the procedure.
