Amino acids to protect kidneys during liver transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a liver transplant from a living donor.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.
- You do not have severe kidney disease (eGFR below 40 is not allowed).
- You are not on dialysis.
- You have no known allergy to amino acids and no genetic amino acid processing disorder.

This study looks at kidney tissue from patients having a liver transplant to understand and improve treatment for a kidney problem called hepatorenal syndrome. It may help doctors find better ways to protect kidney function after transplant.
This trial studies two ways of giving albumin (a protein given through an IV) to people with cirrhosis who also have a sudden kidney injury from sepsis. The goal is to see which method—tailored to each patient or a fixed dose—is safer and works better for kidney recovery.
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.
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 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 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.
