Goal-directed blood pressure, fluid, and urine management to prevent kidney injury after kidney removal

Official title: Impact of Goal-directed Hemodynamic Management on Occurrence of Acute and Persistent Kidney Injury After Radical Nephrectomy or Nephroureterectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Run by Peking University First Hospital · NCT05149196 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This will try a targeted plan of fluids, medicines, and forced urine output during surgery to see if it reduces acute kidney injury in adults having a radical nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 years or older scheduled for unilateral radical nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy who do not have advanced (stage 4–5) chronic kidney disease, uncontrolled severe hypertension, or high cardiac risk and who can give consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients with preexisting advanced CKD (GFR <30 ml/min/1.73 m2), uncontrolled severe hypertension, significant cardiac comorbidity (RCRI >1 or METs <4), or those unable to tolerate the perioperative protocol are unlikely to receive benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Patients undergoing unilateral radical nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy are randomized to a goal-directed intraoperative hemodynamic protocol or routine care. The intervention combines guided hydration, inotropic support, and forced diuresis to maintain pulse pressure variation <9%, mean arterial pressure ≥85 mmHg, and urine flow >200 ml/h (≈3 ml/kg/h). The trial measures the incidence of acute kidney injury after surgery and tracks longer-term renal function outcomes. Results will determine whether protocolized hemodynamic control reduces postoperative AKI and subsequent chronic kidney disease risk compared with standard management.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lower the rate of acute postoperative kidney injury and reduce long-term decline in kidney function after nephrectomy.

How similar studies have gone: Preliminary trials and meta-analyses have suggested goal-directed hemodynamic management can reduce postoperative kidney injury, but larger confirmatory randomized trials remain limited.
