Beet product for kidney protection during heart procedure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a beet-derived food product (a natural source of nitrate) to see if it can help prevent kidney damage caused by the contrast dye used during a heart procedure called PCI. It is designed for people who already have a higher risk of this kidney problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are scheduled to have a procedure called PCI to open blocked heart arteries
- You have a high risk for kidney damage from the contrast dye used during the procedure
- You do not have an allergy to nitrates
- You have not used nitrate medications in the last 30 days

This trial tests whether taking 20 grams of beetroot powder daily can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow in men who already have high blood pressure under control with medication. Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which may relax blood vessels.
This trial tests if drinking beetroot juice can help protect your kidneys from damage caused by the dye used during heart procedures. It is for people hospitalized with a certain type of heart attack who are at moderate to high risk of kidney problems.
This trial tests whether a simple inorganic nitrate pill can protect your kidneys from damage caused by contrast dye used in heart catheterization or CT scans. It is for people whose kidneys are already somewhat weak, making them at higher risk for this type of injury.
This study tests whether a natural substance found in leafy greens (dietary nitrate) can help protect the kidneys of people with high blood pressure and early kidney damage. It may offer a simple dietary way to slow kidney disease.
This trial tests whether a common food additive (nitrates) can help your heart recover faster when you have a serious pulmonary embolism. It is for people with a recent clot and signs of heart strain, but who are not on specific blood thinners or other nitrate medicines.
This trial tests whether taking a simple nitrate supplement (similar to the nitrates in beets) can improve blood flow in the tiny vessels of the heart for women who have chest pain but no blockages in their major arteries. It may help if your heart's small vessels aren't working as well as they should.
