Study on kidney injury after major surgery in children
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at how often children develop kidney problems after major surgery that isn't on the heart or kidneys. The goal is to learn more about these injuries and how to prevent them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 0 and 16 years old.
- You need to have a major surgery planned that lasts at least an hour.
- The surgery cannot be on the kidney itself or involve clamping kidney blood vessels.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 research study is collecting information about people with moderate to severe acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) who are treated in specialized kidney hospital units. The goal is to better understand how patients recover and what happens to their kidney function 3 months after admission.
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.
This study looks for signs in blood or samples that could show early kidney damage after cardiac surgery. If the markers work, they may help doctors diagnose acute kidney injury faster and safer.
This study looks at patients who had heart surgery with a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass) to understand how much it costs to treat kidney injury that may happen after surgery. It may help find ways to reduce kidney problems in the future.
This study looks at acute kidney injury in patients who are very sick in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney problems in these patients.
