Amino acid infusion during liver transplant to protect kidneys
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to receive a liver transplant
- You are expected to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 24 hours after surgery
- You have a recent kidney function test (blood creatinine) from within 30 days before surgery or can have one taken before surgery
- You are not on chronic dialysis and do not have severe chronic kidney disease
- You do not have acute kidney failure requiring dialysis at the time of 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 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.
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 albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
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.
