NCT ID NCT05909150
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a concentrated saltwater solution (hypertonic saline) right after a heart transplant can prevent or lessen acute kidney injury. About 74 adults who are hospitalized for a heart transplant will take part. The goal is to see if this simple approach can keep creatinine levels lower and reduce the need for dialysis.
