Finding early signs of kidney damage after heart surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for heart or blood vessel surgery.
- Your kidney function must be reasonably good before the surgery (serum creatinine below a certain level).
- You cannot be pregnant, planning to become pregnant soon, or breastfeeding.
- You must not have had kidney damage (AKI) recently, and you cannot be on dialysis or have had a kidney transplant.
- You must not have active cancer or a life expectancy of less than one year.
