Clinical Trial: Pediatric Randomized Trial Of Amino Acid Therapy Evaluating the Incidence of New Onset AKI

U.S., Oct. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07880951) titled 'Pediatric Randomized Trial Of Amino Acid Therapy Evaluating the Incidence of New Onset AKI' on Oct. 12.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether giving amino acids through an IV during and after heart surgery can protect the kidneys of children with congenital heart disease. Many children who have heart surgery using a heart-lung (bypass) machine develop a sudden decrease in kidney function, called acute kidney injury (AKI).
