Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 with ASA physical status 1-3 undergoing elective VATS for lung malignancy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with significant renal impairment or those with certain comorbidities such as congestive heart failure may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to identify factors that may contribute to Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in patients undergoing Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for lung cancer. It will analyze demographic data, laboratory parameters, perioperative fluid management, and hemodynamics in patients who have provided informed consent. Participants will be categorized based on specific changes in kidney function indicators, allowing for a comparison of risk factors between groups. The research will be conducted at SBÜ Ankara Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved strategies for preventing AKI in patients undergoing lung surgery.

How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have explored AKI in surgical settings, this specific focus on VATS and its associated risk factors is relatively novel.
