Tailored IV fluids aim to shield kidneys during heart tests
NCT ID NCT04936607
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a personalized hydration strategy to prevent contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in adults undergoing coronary angiogram or PCI. Participants receive intravenous saline at rates adjusted based on their heart pressure, contrast dose, and kidney function. The goal is to see if this tailored approach reduces kidney damage and improves overall outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Personalized hydration strategy (intravenous saline adjusted based on heart pressure, contrast dose, and kidney function)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, tailored hydration method to reduce the risk of kidney injury after common heart procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial (Phase NA) with 1158 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The hydration adjustments are complex and may not prevent kidney injury in everyone.
