Salt substitute to protect kidney after tumor surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a salt substitute instead of regular salt can help protect kidney function after kidney tumor surgery. It is for people who had a kidney removed (either full or partial) and whose remaining kidney is working well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery for a kidney tumor (either full or partial kidney removal).
- Your remaining kidney works well (eGFR above 60 before surgery and above 45 after discharge).
- You and your household eat most meals at home (over 90% of meals).
- You do not use potassium-sparing medications or potassium supplements, and have not used salt substitutes before.
- You do not have other serious kidney diseases, uncontrolled diabetes or blood pressure, or certain heart conditions.
- You are 18 or older, and willing to follow the study procedures for at least 6 months.

This trial uses special ultrasound techniques to predict how well your remaining kidney will work after surgery to remove part or all of one kidney. It may help doctors understand your recovery and tailor follow-up care.
This clinical trial is testing whether a medicine called ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) can help protect the kidneys during partial nephrectomy (removing only the tumor while keeping the healthy part of the kidney). It is for people with early-stage kidney tumors who will have temporary interruption of blood flow to the kidney during surgery.
This study tests whether using a salt substitute with more potassium and less sodium can help control blood pressure in people who have had a kidney transplant. It aims to see if this simple change is safe and effective for managing hypertension after transplantation.
This study tests whether using a special salt substitute (lower in sodium, higher in potassium) at home can help people on hemodialysis maintain healthier potassium levels. It may offer a simple way to improve diet and heart health for those with end-stage kidney disease.
This trial tests whether a hypertonic salt fluid (a higher-salt saline solution) can help prevent sudden kidney injury after heart transplant surgery. If you’re recently hospitalized for a heart transplant, you may be eligible if specific kidney support needs and critical breathing/circulation devices aren’t already required.
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.
