Detecting kidney injury early after heart procedures
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new light-based method to check kidney function right after heart surgery or imaging tests that use contrast dye. It aims to catch kidney damage early, so doctors can treat it sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for heart surgery, an interventional heart procedure, or a CT scan with contrast dye
- Or you have already developed kidney injury after such a procedure
- You have not had dialysis or a kidney transplant before the procedure
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced before the procedure (serum creatinine not above 353 μmol/L)
- You do not have active cancer

This study looks for early signs in your blood or urine that can predict if you might develop kidney damage after heart or blood vessel surgery. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can protect their kidneys.
This trial tests whether using a much smaller amount of contrast dye for an invasive heart scan is safer for people with acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help reduce further kidney stress while still allowing doctors to look at coronary (heart) arteries.
This study tests if a simple blood test (cystatin) can detect kidney damage earlier in people with chronic kidney disease who receive contrast dye for imaging. It could help doctors act faster to protect kidneys.
This study looks at a protein in the blood that may help predict kidney damage after heart surgery. It aims to find ways to protect kidney function during and after the operation.
This study looks at whether certain markers in the blood or urine can help predict if kidney problems after heart surgery will get worse. It aims to find better ways to monitor and manage kidney health after surgery.
This study helps doctors better assess how well kidneys recover after acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function during hospitalization). You may be asked to participate in interviews, workshops, or have some medical measurements taken to help improve patient care.
