Testing kidney injury markers after heart surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks for signs in blood or samples that could show early kidney damage after cardiac surgery. If the markers work, they may help doctors diagnose acute kidney injury faster and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for or undergoing cardiac (heart) surgery
- You can give written consent to join the study
- You do not have major injuries from many trauma sites or very severe burns

This study is testing new ways to predict kidney problems after heart surgery. Researchers will look at special markers in the blood or urine to see if they can better identify patients whose kidneys may not recover well.
This study looks at new markers in blood or urine to help predict kidney injury after surgery to remove a kidney. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your remaining kidney after surgery.
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 trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart surgery with the goal of protecting your kidneys. It uses a special device to guide fluid levels and checks early signs of kidney injury.
This study tests a technique used during planned heart bypass surgery to see whether it changes substances measured in urine that reflect kidney stress or injury. If you have upcoming elective bypass surgery, your team may collect blood and urine samples to study how your kidneys respond.
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.
