Restarting blood pressure meds after kidney injury
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether safely restarting a common blood pressure or kidney medicine (an ACE inhibitor or ARB) after a kidney injury can help protect your kidneys and heart. It might be a good option if your kidney function is improving and you aren't on dialysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You were taking a specific type of blood pressure or heart medication (called a RAS inhibitor) before your kidney injury.
- Your kidney injury is now getting better (your kidney lab numbers have started to improve).
- You do not need ongoing dialysis.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not in hospice or palliative care.

This study tests whether a drug called R2R01 can help protect your kidneys during major heart surgery. Heart surgery can sometimes damage the kidneys, and this trial is looking to see if this new medication reduces that risk.
This study tests whether a reminder tool in the clinic helps doctors and pharmacists start a diabetes medicine (SGLT2 inhibitor) that may protect the kidneys after a kidney injury. Participation is limited to patients at specific clinics who have had a recent kidney injury and type 2 diabetes.
This trial tests a targeted way to manage blood pressure before and after off-pump heart bypass surgery, with the goal of reducing acute kidney injury (sudden kidney problems). It may help some people by lowering stress on the kidneys during and right after surgery.
This trial tests a carefully tailored plan for managing blood pressure and fluid during and after kidney removal surgery, to help reduce kidney injury after surgery. It may be especially helpful if you’re having one kidney removed for cancer and your baseline heart/kidney risk is not too high.
This study tests whether a furosemide (a water pill) stress test can help doctors decide when to safely stop continuous kidney replacement therapy in ICU patients with severe acute kidney injury. It may allow you to come off the machine sooner if your kidneys respond well.
This trial studies whether a blood test called delta C-cistatin can help doctors predict when patients can safely stop continuous kidney dialysis after acute kidney injury.
