Hidden danger in heart surgery: blood stasis may signal kidney risk
NCT ID NCT07232277
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether blood backing up in the veins during heart surgery can predict acute kidney injury. Researchers will monitor 114 adults having elective heart surgery, using ultrasound to check for venous congestion. The goal is to find an early warning sign to prevent kidney damage after surgery.
