Early kidney protection during heart surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a specific heart-surgery technique (called CLCVP) can help protect kidney function soon after surgery. It is mainly for adults with otherwise normal kidney tests before certain types of heart operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having heart surgery such as CABG, heart valve surgery, heart transplant, or removal of an intracardiac myxoma.
- Your kidney function tests before surgery are normal (serum creatinine is below 133 μmol/L, and you were not told you had kidney problems in the prior 6 months).
- You were not on dialysis in the 60 days before surgery.
- You are not having an off-pump heart surgery.
- You are not pregnant, you have not had a prior kidney transplant, and you are not taking nitroglycerin drugs before surgery.

This trial tests a new way of giving fluids during heart surgery that may help protect your kidneys. It looks at early signs of kidney stress to guide fluid management.
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 trial tests whether personalized care can prevent acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) after heart or major blood vessel surgery. If you are having planned heart valve repair, bypass, or aortic surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
This trial tests a targeted way to manage blood pressure before and after off-pump heart bypass surgery, with the goal of reducing acute kidney injury (sudden kidney problems). It may help some people by lowering stress on the kidneys during and right after surgery.
This study tests whether giving the amino acid L-arginine soon after heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). If you're recovering in the ICU after heart surgery, this may help protect your kidneys.
