Understanding kidney injury after heart surgery with heart-lung machine
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people develop kidney damage after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to help doctors better predict and prevent this complication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You are scheduled for heart valve repair/replacement, aortic surgery, or 3+ bypass grafts using a heart-lung machine.
- You have mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (measured by a blood test).
- You have not had kidney injury in the past month, kidney transplant, or dialysis.
- No major surgery in the last 2 months, no active infections, and no recent cancer treatment.

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.
This study looks at how your body's metabolism (energy use) can predict if you'll get kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can prevent or treat kidney problems sooner.
This study tests a treatment called RenalGuard to help protect your kidneys from damage that can happen after heart surgery. It may be helpful if you have certain risk factors like diabetes or kidney disease.
This trial looks at how fluid buildup in veins might relate to kidney injury after planned heart surgery. It aims to find ways to prevent kidney damage. Participants must be having planned (non-emergency) heart surgery, be 18 or older, and have healthy kidneys and overall health.
This study tests a new drug (ENN0403) given during heart surgery to see if it prevents acute kidney injury—a sudden drop in kidney function. The trial is for people who are already at higher risk due to their specific heart surgery and other health factors.
This study uses a computer model to predict whether a patient might develop kidney problems after heart surgery. By looking at your information ahead of time, doctors may be able to take steps to protect your kidneys during and after the operation.
