Renin levels in planned heart surgery patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study measures a substance in your blood (renin) before, during, and after planned heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. Researchers want to see if renin levels are linked to how well your body handles the surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how changes in blood pressure during heart surgery affect recovery. If you are having scheduled heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how a blood-pressure hormone system (RAAS) changes during coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help researchers understand better how to manage blood pressure and heart stress around the time of surgery.
This study collects information from people having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to learn how to better predict kidney problems after surgery.
This study tests a new way to measure oxygen levels in the kidney during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help doctors protect kidney function during the procedure.
This study measures how well your heart pumps blood after heart surgery while you're lying flat or on your stomach. Researchers want to find the best body position for accurate heart monitoring in patients recovering from bypass surgery.
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.
