Heart surgery fluid strategy under scrutiny for kidney safety
NCT ID NCT05349292
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving less fluid during heart surgery, a technique to reduce blood loss, increases the risk of kidney injury. Researchers will measure kidney injury markers in 100 adults having elective bypass surgery. The goal is to understand if this common practice is safe for the kidneys.
