Predicting kidney problems after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses a computer model to predict whether a patient might develop kidney problems after heart surgery. By looking at your information ahead of time, doctors may be able to take steps to protect your kidneys during and after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be planning to have heart surgery (coronary bypass or heart valve surgery, sometimes with aortic surgery).
- Your surgery must be planned in advance, not an emergency.
- You must not have severe kidney disease, be on dialysis, or have had a kidney transplant.
- You must not have had a recent acute kidney injury (within the past week) that is still ongoing.
- You must be willing to give your informed consent to participate.
