Amino acid infusion during heart surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are having planned (not emergency) heart surgery that requires a heart-lung machine
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for at least one night after surgery
- You have a recent blood test showing your kidney function is stable (eGFR above 30)
- You do not have severe kidney disease, a kidney transplant, or need dialysis

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.
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 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.
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 trial tests whether adding amino acid supplements during dialysis helps people with kidney failure. It may be an option if your doctor decides you need these supplements.
