Albumin before heart surgery for kids with low albumin
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving albumin (a protein in the blood) before heart surgery helps protect the kidneys of young children with low albumin levels. It may help reduce the risk of kidney injury after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 7 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- Your child's blood albumin level is 4.0 g/dL or lower.
- Your child's kidney function is normal (creatinine level is not too high).
- Your child has never needed dialysis and does not have liver problems, diabetes, or a bleeding disorder.
- Your child is not allergic to albumin.

This study tests whether giving a common fluid (albumin) early can help protect the kidneys in people with advanced liver disease who have a sudden kidney injury. It aims to see if this simple treatment can improve recovery and prevent the need for dialysis.
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 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.
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 tests whether giving amino acids during heart surgery can help protect your kidneys. It's for people at high risk of kidney injury after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a blood protein) in a personalized dose works better than a standard fixed dose for people with cirrhosis and sepsis-related acute kidney injury. The goal is to find a safer and more effective way to protect kidney function.
