Amino Acid Infusion for First Kidney Transplant
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving amino acids (building blocks of protein) through a vein can help people who just received their first kidney transplant. It aims to improve recovery and kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and getting a kidney transplant from a living or deceased donor.
- This is your first kidney transplant.
- You do not have any known allergy to amino acids.
- You are stable after the transplant and do not need dialysis right away.
- You do not have a severe liver problem, uncontrolled infection, or recent cancer (other than skin cancer).

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 if giving amino acids through a vein during surgery can help prevent kidney damage after a living-donor liver transplant. If you are an adult having this type of transplant, this treatment might protect your kidneys.
This study tests whether giving amino acids (the building blocks of protein) before and after surgery can help protect the kidneys of people receiving a liver transplant. It may reduce the risk of kidney injury during recovery.
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 study tests whether giving amino acids (proteins that help your body heal) through a vein can help people on ECMO recover faster. It's for adults in the ICU who've just started ECMO and don't have severe kidney problems.
This trial tests if giving amino acids during heart surgery can protect the kidneys. If you are having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and have reasonably good kidney function, you may be able to join.
