Preventing kidney damage with fluids during heart attack treatment
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving extra fluids by mouth before and during a common heart procedure (primary angioplasty) can reduce the risk of kidney damage caused by the contrast dye used during the procedure. If you have had a heart attack and are scheduled for this procedure, this trial may help protect your kidneys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a heart attack (confirmed by ECG changes) and will have an emergency procedure to open the blocked heart artery within 12–24 hours of symptoms starting.
- Your kidney function (measured by a blood test called eGFR) is at least 30 mL/min/1.73m².
- You can safely drink fluids by mouth and swallow them without problems.
- You do not have severe heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or other conditions that prevent fluid intake.
- You are not on dialysis and do not have a severe allergy to contrast dye.

This study looks at ways to improve kidney outcomes after a coronary angiogram and/or stent procedure. If you’re having one of these heart procedures and your kidneys aren’t already severely affected, the study may help reduce the risk of kidney worsening around the time of the procedure.
This study looks at whether the time from a heart attack (STEMI) until the procedure to open the blocked artery affects the risk of kidney damage from the contrast dye used during the procedure. It may help doctors predict and prevent kidney problems in heart attack patients.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm conditioning” technique done remotely before a procedure can help prevent kidney injury caused by contrast dye used during certain heart catheter tests. You might benefit if you’re having a coronary angiogram and your kidney function is reduced, but you’re not on dialysis.
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 trial studies whether a device called Dye-Vert Plus can lower the risk of kidney injury from contrast dye during heart catheter procedures (CAG and/or PCI). It focuses on people at higher kidney risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
This trial tests if drinking beetroot juice can help protect your kidneys from damage caused by the dye used during heart procedures. It is for people hospitalized with a certain type of heart attack who are at moderate to high risk of kidney problems.
