Predicting kidney injury after open heart surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if kidney ultrasound and urine oxygen levels can predict acute kidney injury after open heart surgery. It aims to help doctors catch kidney problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in your kidneys during heart surgery. The goal is to see if these readings can help predict kidney problems after surgery.
This study is testing new ways to predict kidney problems after heart surgery. Researchers will look at special markers in the blood or urine to see if they can better identify patients whose kidneys may not recover well.
This study tests whether monitoring oxygen levels in back muscles during heart surgery can help predict and prevent kidney damage. It may help doctors protect your kidneys during the operation.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart surgery with the goal of protecting your kidneys. It uses a special device to guide fluid levels and checks early signs of kidney injury.
This study looks for signs in blood or samples that could show early kidney damage after cardiac surgery. If the markers work, they may help doctors diagnose acute kidney injury faster and safer.
This study looks at what factors might predict acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) in people who come to the emergency room with acute decompensated heart failure (a sudden worsening of heart failure). The goal is to help doctors identify who is at highest risk so they can take steps to protect the kidneys.
