Test ultra-low contrast heart imaging in kidney injury
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a much smaller amount of contrast dye for an invasive heart scan is safer for people with acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help reduce further kidney stress while still allowing doctors to look at coronary (heart) arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are hospitalized and have AKI at admission, or you develop AKI while in the hospital.
- You need an invasive coronary angiography (a heart catheter scan) during this hospital stay.
- Your kidney function has not been “stable” in the last 24 hours—your blood creatinine level is not unchanged or improving before enrollment.
- You do not have another reason you cannot safely have the heart catheter procedure.
- You have not had contrast dye inside blood vessels in the last 7 days (or within 6 days after a recent angiography).

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.
This study tests if a simple blood test (cystatin) can detect kidney damage earlier in people with chronic kidney disease who receive contrast dye for imaging. It could help doctors act faster to protect kidneys.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound with a contrast dye can help doctors better assess acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) in patients in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with acute kidney injury within 24 hours of ICU admission, this imaging test may help guide care.
This study looks at whether the time from a heart attack (STEMI) until the procedure to open the blocked artery affects the risk of kidney damage from the contrast dye used during the procedure. It may help doctors predict and prevent kidney problems in heart attack patients.
This study looks at whether the amount of contrast dye used in a CT scan can predict kidney injury. It will follow your kidney function with a blood test after your scan, which may help identify patients at risk of kidney problems.
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.
