Testing a New Score for Early Kidney Injury in Newborns
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to predict early kidney problems in newborns staying in the NICU. It looks at babies’ health information to see if the STARZ score helps doctors find kidney injury sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is in the NICU and arrived there within 48 hours after birth.
- Your baby was born at 28 weeks of pregnancy or later.
- Your baby weighed at least 1000 grams (about 2 pounds 3 ounces) at birth.
- Your baby needs blood or urine tests for kidney function as part of their regular care.
- You or the other legal guardian can give permission for your baby to join the study.
- Your baby does not have any known kidney problems before birth, certain genetic conditions, or missing medical records.

This study looks at how common acute kidney injury is in newborns in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors understand which babies are at risk and how to prevent kidney problems.
This study looks at newborns who develop acute kidney injury in the neonatal intensive care unit. It aims to understand how common it is and what biomarkers might help diagnose it early.
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 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.
This study tests a new way to find children in the pediatric ICU who are at risk for serious kidney injury early, so doctors can start treatment sooner. Your child's kidney stress markers will be checked from a blood or urine sample.
This study looks at whether certain blood test results (triglyceride and glucose) can help predict acute kidney injury in ICU patients. It aims to find early warning signs so doctors can act sooner.
