Preventing blood loss during surgery in kidney patients
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests two medications, tranexamic acid and desmopressin, to see if they can reduce bleeding during surgery in people with severe kidney disease or on dialysis. The results may help make surgery safer for you.

This trial tests a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) given right before major colorectal surgery to see if it helps reduce bleeding. If it works, it could make surgery safer for people like you.
This trial tests if desmopressin can lower bleeding risk during a kidney transplant biopsy. It may help patients with reduced kidney function who need a biopsy.
This trial tests if taking tranexamic acid (TXA) pills for a week after knee replacement surgery helps reduce bleeding and the need for blood transfusions. You may qualify if you are having a planned first-time knee replacement with spinal anesthesia and are already scheduled for standard care.
This trial tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid can help reduce the need for blood transfusions during major abdominal surgeries. It's for people having surgery to remove part of the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, or liver.
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) can reduce blood loss during long spine surgery after an injury. It may help lower the chance of needing transfusions and manage surgical bleeding.
