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 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.
This study looks at whether certain blood or urine markers can predict kidney problems in people having high-risk heart surgery. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can take steps to protect your kidneys.
This study tests a device called RenalGuard to see if it can prevent acute kidney injury in people having heart surgery. If you are at higher risk for kidney problems, this treatment might help protect your kidneys during and after surgery.
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 is building a tool to predict kidney injury after heart surgery. By joining, you help create a system that may warn doctors early so they can protect your kidneys.
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.
