Amino acid infusion for kidney transplant recovery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving amino acids (protein building blocks) through an IV after a kidney transplant helps your new kidney work better and recover faster. It's for first-time kidney transplant recipients who are stable after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and getting a kidney transplant (from a living or deceased donor).
- This is your first kidney transplant.
- You do not have an allergy to amino acids.
- Your blood pressure and heart are stable after the transplant.
- You do not need dialysis right after the transplant.
- You have not had cancer in the past 5 years (except a minor skin cancer).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how many amino acids (building blocks of protein) are lost during continuous kidney dialysis in patients in the intensive care unit after surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to support nutrition in these patients.
This trial tests whether giving amino acids (protein building blocks) during and after a liver transplant can help protect the kidneys from damage. It may reduce the risk of kidney problems after surgery.
This study tests whether giving amino acids through an IV during and after a living-donor liver transplant can lower the chance of kidney injury. Amino acids are protein building blocks that may help protect the kidneys.
This study tests whether giving amino acids (the building blocks of protein) through an IV during heart surgery can help protect your kidneys. It is for people having planned heart surgery and staying in the ICU afterward.
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 tests whether giving a special amino acid infusion (protein building blocks) through an IV can help protect kidney function in patients on ECMO, a machine that supports the heart and lungs. It is a pilot study to see if this treatment is safe and feasible in the intensive care unit.
