Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a potential complication of cardiac surgery. In animal models, excess exogenous Cl- ion in the bloodstream is associated with AKI. Normal saline IV fluid has higher levels of Cl- ion than the blood usually carries. An alternative IV fluid sold under the name Isolyte has lower Cl- ion levels. There is no literature comparing AKI outcomes in cardiac patients between patients receiving normal saline vs. Isolyte. The investigators propose to recruit and randomize 30 trial-completing cardiac surgery patients (up to 40 enrolled) into 2 study arms and compare renal outcomes.

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a FindMyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
