New markers for kidney injury after nephrectomy
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at new markers in blood or urine to help predict kidney injury after surgery to remove a kidney. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your remaining kidney after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove one kidney completely (radical nephrectomy).
- You do not have only one kidney before surgery.
- You do not have advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or 5), meaning your kidney function is below 30% of normal.
- The tumor has not grown into the large vein (vena cava) that requires a special surgery to remove it.

This trial uses special ultrasound techniques to predict how well your remaining kidney will work after surgery to remove part or all of one kidney. It may help doctors understand your recovery and tailor follow-up care.
This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
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.
