Vein congestion and kidney injury after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how fluid buildup in veins might relate to kidney injury after planned heart surgery. It aims to find ways to prevent kidney damage. Participants must be having planned (non-emergency) heart surgery, be 18 or older, and have healthy kidneys and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled to have planned (not emergency) heart surgery.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your kidney function must be normal before surgery (no dialysis or severe kidney disease).
- You must not have had previous heart surgery or a kidney transplant.
- You must not have severe heart failure (ejection fraction less than 30%) or need life support machines.
- You must not have a serious active infection or liver problems like cirrhosis.

This trial looks at how blood backing up in veins after heart surgery might relate to delirium (sudden confusion). It uses a special ultrasound to check vein blood flow and then watches for confusion afterward.
This study looks at how your body's metabolism (energy use) can predict if you'll get kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can prevent or treat kidney problems sooner.
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
This study looks at why some people develop kidney damage after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to help doctors better predict and prevent this complication.
This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound guidance (VEXUS) can help prevent or treat acute kidney injury after heart surgery. If you develop kidney problems in the first two days after your operation, you may be able to join.
