Diuretic Effect of Aminophylline and Furosemide in Heart Surgery Patients
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is testing if a combination of two medicines (aminophylline and furosemide) can help the kidneys produce more urine after heart surgery. It may help reduce fluid buildup and protect kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 40.
- You do not have severe kidney disease (kidney function better than 15 mL/min).
- You are not allergic to aminophylline or furosemide and have not had an organ transplant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if placing aminophylline into the ureter during a stone removal procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) reduces complications. It may help people with kidney stones smaller than 2 cm who have not had a ureteral stent placed before.
This trial is testing whether a single dose of the steroid methylprednisolone, given before heart surgery, can protect your kidneys from damage during the operation. If you qualify, you'll receive the drug or a placebo, and your kidney function will be monitored closely.
This trial tests a method to guide how much fluid is removed after heart surgery using a urine salt test, to see if it helps patients recover better. If you are having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
This study tests a medicine called rhBNP (a type of heart hormone) to help people who still have too much fluid in their body after heart surgery, even when water pills (diuretics) are not working well. The goal is to see if it helps the kidneys remove more fluid and improve recovery.
This trial studies how an IV (into-the-vein) “water pill” (furosemide/loop diuretic) works in people whose heart failure has suddenly gotten worse. It may help doctors find the best way to reduce fluid-related symptoms like breathing trouble and swelling.
This trial tests a new way of giving fluids during heart surgery that may help protect your kidneys. It looks at early signs of kidney stress to guide fluid management.
