Oxygen levels in back muscles and kidney health after heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether measuring oxygen levels in back muscles during heart surgery can help predict kidney problems after the operation. It may help doctors better protect your kidneys during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective off-pump coronary artery bypass (heart bypass without a heart-lung machine).
- You are willing to provide written informed consent.
- Your back muscle depth at a specific point is less than 2.0 cm (measured by ultrasound before anesthesia).
- You do not have severe kidney disease, have not had a kidney transplant, and do not have problems with your left kidney.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or lower, and you are not having emergency surgery or other simultaneous procedures.

This trial tests if kidney ultrasound and urine oxygen levels can predict acute kidney injury after open heart surgery. It aims to help doctors catch kidney problems early.
This study looks at whether measuring blood flow in your kidneys with an ultrasound before surgery can help predict if you might develop kidney injury after your coronary bypass surgery. It's a way to see if your kidneys are more at risk so doctors can watch you more closely.
This pilot study looks at whether a painless skin sensor can measure kidney oxygen levels after lung transplant surgery. The goal is to predict and possibly prevent postoperative kidney failure by identifying risk early.
This research study tests two imaging methods—ultrasound and a special light-based scanner—to monitor how well your kidneys receive blood during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal is to understand kidney function better during this type of operation.
This study measures oxygen levels in the heart muscle during open-heart surgery using a light-based technique. You may qualify if you are an adult scheduled for this surgery and can provide consent.
