Emergency department test for muscle damage after a fall
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who come to the emergency department after a fall and have a specific type of muscle injury. Researchers want to learn more about how to quickly identify this injury so doctors can offer the best care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You had a fall and were stuck on the floor or not moving for at least one hour.
- A blood test shows your muscle enzyme level (creatine kinase) is very high (over 999).

This study helps doctors better assess how well kidneys recover after acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function during hospitalization). You may be asked to participate in interviews, workshops, or have some medical measurements taken to help improve patient care.
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 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 a blood protein called uromodulin can help predict how well people with sepsis and acute kidney injury will do. Sepsis is a serious infection, and acute kidney injury is a sudden drop in kidney function. The results may help doctors better understand and manage this condition.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medicine called dexamethasone to the usual treatment helps children with rhabdomyolysis recover faster. It is for children whose muscle breakdown is not due to trauma and who are not already on steroids.
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.
