Kidney health check in pregnant women with preeclampsia
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple blood or urine test (NGAL) can detect early kidney stress in women with preeclampsia before their planned C-section. It may help find kidney problems sooner and improve care for mothers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study aims to see if a new blood test can help predict preeclampsia, a serious condition that can occur during pregnancy. It may help identify risk early so that you and your baby can receive the right care.
This study collects blood samples and routine pregnancy data to improve early detection of preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy complication). It aims to build a biobank for future research, and you can participate if you are in your first trimester with a single baby.
This study looks at blood vessel function in pregnant people with preeclampsia to see if it can help predict outcomes. It involves non-invasive measures and routine blood tests.
This study looks at how to predict and diagnose chronic kidney disease (long-term kidney damage) in people who had pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, including related serious conditions. It may help identify kidney problems earlier so care can start sooner.
This study tests a new approach to prevent long-term heart and kidney problems in people who had preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, or kidney disease during pregnancy. It aims to see if early follow-up care can improve future health.
This study looks at whether certain proteins in your blood or urine can detect early kidney stress during gynecologic laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The goal is to help doctors protect your kidneys during and after the operation.
