Low-dose vasopressin for kidney protection after liver transplant
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a low dose of a hormone called vasopressin after a liver transplant can help prevent kidney injury. It's for adults scheduled for a planned liver transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to receive a liver transplant
- You are not having an emergency transplant or sudden liver failure
- You do not have severe kidney disease (dialysis or very low kidney function)
- You do not have epilepsy or an allergy to the study drug (vasopressin)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
This trial tests if a drug called vasopressin can help prevent acute kidney injury in patients at high risk. It's for adults in the ICU who have a predicted risk score of 5 or higher based on their lab and health data.
This trial tests whether giving amino acids (protein building blocks) during and after a liver transplant can help protect the kidneys from damage. It may reduce the risk of kidney problems after surgery.
This study tests whether giving amino acids through an IV during and after a living-donor liver transplant can lower the chance of kidney injury. Amino acids are protein building blocks that may help protect the kidneys.
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 trial is testing whether giving amino acids after heart surgery can help prevent kidney injury in children at high risk. If it works, it could offer a simple way to protect kidney function during recovery.
