Can a blood test help predict kidney injury in sepsis?
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study measures a protein called uromodulin in the blood of patients with sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) to see if it can help predict outcomes. It aims to find a better way to assess kidney damage early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have sepsis (a severe infection affecting your whole body) along with acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage).
- Your kidney injury must be diagnosed within a certain time frame based on blood tests or urine output.
- You or a family member must agree to participate by signing a consent form.

This study tests whether two substances in urine (TIMP2 and IGFBP7) can help doctors predict which patients with sepsis-related kidney problems will get worse. If these markers work, doctors could identify high-risk patients earlier and treat them more aggressively.
This study looks at whether certain proteins in the urine (albumin) can help predict if a person with acute heart failure will develop sudden kidney injury while in the ICU. It aims to find early warning signs to improve care.
This trial looks at acute kidney injury that can happen during sepsis (a serious body-wide infection or suspected infection). It may help improve how doctors detect and manage kidney problems early, especially in intensive care or around major surgery.
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.
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 is testing new ways to predict kidney problems after heart surgery. Researchers will look at special markers in the blood or urine to see if they can better identify patients whose kidneys may not recover well.
