Predicting kidney injury during surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a tool that predicts if your kidneys might get injured during surgery. It helps doctors take steps to protect your kidneys while you are in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having surgery at UCSF that requires you to stay in the hospital overnight.
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced (eGFR at least 15).
- You are not on dialysis and have not had a kidney transplant.
- You are not having obstetric (childbirth-related) surgery.

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 looks at whether certain markers in the blood or urine can help predict if kidney problems after heart surgery will get worse. It aims to find better ways to monitor and manage kidney health after surgery.
This study tests whether a simple scoring tool can help doctors predict which ICU patients may develop kidney problems. It may help identify patients at risk early so they can receive closer monitoring.
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 for early signs in your blood or urine that can predict if you might develop kidney damage after heart or blood vessel surgery. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can protect their kidneys.
This study tests a new light-based method to check kidney function right after heart surgery or imaging tests that use contrast dye. It aims to catch kidney damage early, so doctors can treat it sooner.
