Amino acids for kidney protection during heart surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving amino acids during heart surgery can help protect your kidneys. It's for people at high risk of kidney injury after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have heart surgery.
- Your doctor expects you to be at high risk for kidney problems after surgery.
- You are not currently on a machine to support your heart or lungs (like ECMO or a ventilator).
- You do not have a history of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- You do not have acute kidney injury (AKI) before surgery.

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.
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 L-arginine (a natural amino acid) soon after heart surgery can help protect your kidneys. It is for adults who had heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and did not have kidney problems before surgery.
This Phase 2 trial tests an LSALT peptide given around the time of “on-pump” heart surgery to help prevent or reduce acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It may help people who are at higher risk for kidney injury during or after surgery.
This study tests whether a drug called R2R01 can help protect your kidneys during major heart surgery. Heart surgery can sometimes damage the kidneys, and this trial is looking to see if this new medication reduces that risk.
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.
