Kidney injury after weight loss surgery: risks
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how often acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) happens after gastric bypass or weight loss surgery. It aims to identify which patients are more at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are scheduled to have bariatric (weight loss) surgery.
- Your BMI (body mass index) is 30 or higher.
- You do not have a history of kidney disease (like acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease).
- You are not taking ACE inhibitors, ARBs (blood pressure medicines), or NSAIDs (like ibuprofen, naproxen).
- You do not have severe health problems like coronary heart disease or liver cirrhosis that make surgery high-risk.

This trial looks at how often children develop kidney problems after major surgery that isn't on the heart or kidneys. The goal is to learn more about these injuries and how to prevent them.
This study looks at patients who had heart surgery with a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass) to understand how much it costs to treat kidney injury that may happen after surgery. It may help find ways to reduce kidney problems in the future.
This trial tests whether personalized care can prevent acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) after heart or major blood vessel surgery. If you are having planned heart valve repair, bypass, or aortic surgery, you may be able to join.
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.
This study watches how blood pressure changes during and after surgery may affect kidney function. Researchers want to understand if unstable blood pressure during surgery increases the risk of acute kidney injury (temporary kidney damage) after the operation.
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.
