Using blood conservation technique during heart surgery to assess kidney function

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the effects of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) on urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. A total of 50 adult patients under 70 years old will be randomly assigned to receive either ANH or standard care without ANH during their surgery. The study aims to determine if ANH can improve kidney function indicators while reducing the need for blood transfusions. Exclusion criteria include patients with renal insufficiency, significant comorbidities, or those undergoing emergency surgeries.
