Cystatin C test for early kidney injury after heart catheterization
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a blood test for a protein called cystatin C can help detect kidney damage earlier after a heart procedure like angioplasty or stenting. It may help doctors identify and treat kidney problems sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You had a recent heart procedure (angioplasty or stent) and then developed signs of kidney injury, such as a rise in creatinine or reduced urine output
- You had typical chest pain, ECG changes, or abnormal echocardiogram findings
- You do not have diabetes
- You do not have chronic kidney disease, a kidney transplant, or a history of nephrectomy (kidney removal)

This study tests if a simple blood test (cystatin) can detect kidney damage earlier in people with chronic kidney disease who receive contrast dye for imaging. It could help doctors act faster to protect kidneys.
This study looks for early signs in your blood or urine that can predict if you might develop kidney damage after heart or blood vessel surgery. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can protect their 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 trial studies whether a blood test called delta C-cistatin can help doctors predict when patients can safely stop continuous kidney dialysis after acute kidney injury.
This study looks at whether certain blood tests can help predict if a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) will develop acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function). It may help doctors detect kidney problems earlier and improve care for ICU patients.
This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
