IV amino acids to prevent kidney injury after liver transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving amino acids through a vein during surgery can help prevent kidney damage after a living-donor liver transplant. If you are an adult having this type of transplant, this treatment might protect your kidneys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) having a liver transplant from a living donor.
- You agree to participate in the study and sign a consent form.
- You are not having a transplant for sudden liver failure.
- Your kidney function is good—your eGFR is above 40 (a measure of how well your kidneys filter blood).
- You are not on dialysis or any kidney replacement therapy now.
- You are not allergic to any of the amino acids used in the study.
- You do not have a rare disorder that affects how your body processes proteins or amino acids.

This study tests whether giving amino acids (the building blocks of protein) before and after surgery can help protect the kidneys of people receiving a liver transplant. It may reduce the risk of kidney injury during recovery.
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 amino acids (building blocks of protein) through a vein can help people who just received their first kidney transplant. It aims to improve recovery and kidney function.
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
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 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.
