Ultrasound score to predict kidney injury after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether an ultrasound score (VExUS) can predict kidney injury after open-heart surgery. It may help doctors adjust care to protect your kidneys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be undergoing open-heart surgery (elective or urgent) using cardiopulmonary bypass.
- You must not have severe tricuspid regurgitation.
- You must not have end-stage kidney disease (eGFR below 15).
- You must not be on mechanical circulatory support before surgery (IABP, ECMO, or VAD).

This trial tests whether using ultrasound guidance (VEXUS) can help prevent or treat acute kidney injury after heart surgery. If you develop kidney problems in the first two days after your operation, you may be able to join.
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 study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow in the kidneys and other organs to find out why acute kidney injury happens. By checking this early in the ICU stay, doctors hope to improve treatment and recovery.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the veins (VExUS) can help predict kidney injury in people with severe breathing problems who are on a breathing machine and receiving medicine to support their blood pressure.
This trial looks at how fluid buildup in veins might relate to kidney injury after planned heart surgery. It aims to find ways to prevent kidney damage. Participants must be having planned (non-emergency) heart surgery, be 18 or older, and have healthy kidneys and overall health.
