Amino acids for kidney protection during heart surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving amino acids (protein building blocks) during heart surgery can help protect your kidneys from damage. If you are having heart surgery and are at high risk, this treatment might reduce the chance of kidney problems afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for heart surgery and expected to have a higher risk of complications.
- You must not be on organ-support machines like a ventilator or ECMO right now.
- You must not have long-term kidney disease, meaning your eGFR is not below 60 in the last year.
- You must not have had a recent sudden kidney injury before the surgery.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 study tests whether giving the amino acid L-arginine soon after heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). If you're recovering in the ICU after heart surgery, this may help protect your kidneys.
This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
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.
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.
