Predicting kidney injury after heart surgery using gut bacteria
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is trying to see if the bacteria in your gut (and their byproducts) can predict whether you might develop kidney injury after heart surgery. By collecting stool and blood samples before surgery, researchers hope to build a better risk model to protect patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are scheduled for a planned heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine
- You can provide a stool and blood sample before surgery
- You have not taken antibiotics, probiotics, or prebiotics in the last 4 weeks
- You do not have severe kidney disease, a kidney transplant, or certain bowel problems
