Frailty, kidney injury, and blood pressure in non-cardiac surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a patient's level of frailty (overall weakness and health before surgery) affects their risk of acute kidney injury after non-cardiac surgery, and whether blood pressure changes during surgery play a role in that link.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a surgery that is not on your heart.
- You do not have end-stage kidney disease and have not needed dialysis in the past year.
- You have not had acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) in the week before surgery.
- Your surgery is expected to last at least 2 hours.
- A frailty assessment (a check of your overall health and strength) is done before surgery.

This trial tests whether personalized care can prevent acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) after heart or major blood vessel surgery. If you are having planned heart valve repair, bypass, or aortic surgery, you may be able to join.
This study looks at a simple scoring system (EASIX) that predicts whether older or frail patients will experience dangerous blood pressure drops when anesthesia is given before surgery. Understanding this risk might help doctors better protect vulnerable patients during their operations.
This trial uses machine learning to predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after non-cardiac surgery. If you are 18 or older and having this type of surgery, it may help understand your risk and guide care.
This study looks at how blood vessel aging might be linked to kidney injury after heart surgery. It aims to see if measuring vascular age before surgery can help predict and prevent kidney problems.
This study looks at how heart surgery affects kidney function. It may help doctors better protect the kidneys during and after surgery.
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.
