Kidney injury costs after heart surgery in the UK
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the healthcare costs of kidney injury after heart surgery. Researchers will review records of patients who had heart surgery at a specific hospital to understand how much kidney injury costs the health system.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
