Medication to prevent kidney injury after major surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two medications given during surgery to see which one better protects the kidneys after the procedure. If you are having major non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and you need medication to support your blood pressure, this trial may be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your surgery is scheduled to last at least 2 hours and will be done under general anesthesia
- You have received medication to raise your blood pressure (vasopressors) during surgery
- Your surgery is not on the heart, kidney, or for organ transplantation
- You are not on certain blood pressure medications or kidney dialysis before surgery

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called angiotensin II during heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It is for adults having certain types of heart surgery who have a higher risk of kidney problems.
This trial compares two ways of giving a drug called norepinephrine to keep blood pressure stable during surgery. If you are 45 or older and having non-cardiac surgery, this study may help prevent low blood pressure and protect your kidneys.
This trial tests how doctors manage blood pressure during major surgery using common medicines (norepinephrine or phenylephrine). It may help by improving safety for people at higher risk of blood pressure drops or complications during surgery.
This trial compares two medications, vasopressin and noradrenaline, to see which one works better at raising blood pressure in patients who develop dangerously low blood pressure (vasoplegic syndrome) within the first day after heart surgery. The goal is to find the safest and most effective treatment to stabilize blood pressure and help recovery.
This study tests whether giving a medication called rhBNP during heart surgery can help protect your kidneys from injury. It may reduce the chance of kidney problems after the operation.
This study compares two medications used to manage blood pressure during complex spine surgery. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer for patients undergoing this type of procedure.
