Kidney blood flow and injury after heart surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in your kidneys during heart surgery. The goal is to see if these readings can help predict kidney problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You are scheduled for heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine.
- Your surgery is not an emergency, and you do not need strong medications to keep your blood pressure up right now.
- You do not have advanced kidney disease (stage 4 or 5), a kidney transplant, or narrow kidney arteries.
- You do not have severe liver disease with fluid in your belly.

This trial tests if kidney ultrasound and urine oxygen levels can predict acute kidney injury after open heart surgery. It aims to help doctors catch kidney problems early.
This research study tests two imaging methods—ultrasound and a special light-based scanner—to monitor how well your kidneys receive blood during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal is to understand kidney function better during this type of operation.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart surgery with the goal of protecting your kidneys. It uses a special device to guide fluid levels and checks early signs of kidney injury.
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 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 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.
