Predicting Kidney Injury After Heart Surgery Using New Tests
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had heart surgery and developed acute kidney injury (sudden kidney problems) within 48 hours after the surgery.
- You do not have end-stage kidney disease (kidneys have permanently stopped working) and are not on dialysis.
- You have not had a kidney transplant.
- You do not have a 'Do Not Resuscitate' (DNR) order.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not expected to die within 24 hours or survive less than 28 days due to another serious illness.

This study looks at whether certain blood or urine markers can predict kidney problems in people having high-risk heart surgery. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can take steps to protect your kidneys.
This study looks at blood and urine markers in patients at higher risk for developing kidney problems after heart surgery. By identifying who is most vulnerable, doctors hope to better predict and prevent serious kidney complications.
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.
This study looks at what factors might predict acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) in people who come to the emergency room with acute decompensated heart failure (a sudden worsening of heart failure). The goal is to help doctors identify who is at highest risk so they can take steps to protect the kidneys.
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 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.
