Kidney protection during liver surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor kidney oxygen levels during liver surgery to help prevent kidney damage. It may help reduce the risk of acute kidney injury after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years or older.
- You are scheduled for liver surgery (open, laparoscopic, or robot-assisted).
- Your surgery is expected to last at least 2 hours under general anesthesia.
- Your kidney function is normal or near normal (eGFR at least 60).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 30 and you have no conditions that prevent monitoring of your kidneys during surgery.

This trial looks at whether a specific heart-surgery technique (called CLCVP) can help protect kidney function soon after surgery. It is mainly for adults with otherwise normal kidney tests before certain types of heart operations.
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.
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 trial tests a new way of giving fluids during heart surgery that may help protect your kidneys. It looks at early signs of kidney stress to guide fluid management.
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.
