Kidney risk after lung cancer surgery (VATS)
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people develop kidney problems after lung cancer surgery using small incisions (VATS). By tracking your recovery, the doctors hope to find ways to protect your kidneys during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.
- You have lung cancer and are scheduled for VATS (keyhole) surgery (wedge, segmentectomy, or lobectomy).
- Your weight is not very low (BMI at least 18.5) and not very high (BMI no more than 35).
- Your kidney function is normal (creatinine levels below 1.3 for men, 1.1 for women).
- You have not used steroids or anti-inflammatory pain relievers (like ibuprofen) for more than 30 days and do not have heart failure or fluid in the lungs.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether your nutrition before lung surgery affects your risk of kidney problems after the operation. It is for people 65 and older having certain types of lung surgery.
This study looks at how often acute kidney injury happens after a type of heart-lung surgery called pulmonary endarterectomy, which is used to treat blood clots or tumors in the lung arteries. If you are scheduled for or have had this surgery, the information gathered may help doctors better understand and prevent kidney problems.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer: robotic-assisted (RATS) versus video-assisted (VATS). It aims to see which approach is better for removing a lobe or part of a lobe, focusing on recovery and safety.
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.
This study looks at why some people develop a cough after having part of a lung removed through small cuts (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). It may help identify who is more likely to have this side effect.
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
