Predicting kidney injury after heart surgery using gut bacteria
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the bacteria in your gut before heart surgery can help predict if you might develop kidney problems after surgery. By collecting stool and blood samples before your operation, researchers hope to build a tool that could help doctors protect your kidneys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- You can provide stool and blood samples before your surgery.
- You have not had antibiotics, probiotics, or prebiotics in the 4 weeks before surgery.
- You do not have severe kidney disease or need dialysis before surgery.
