Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in up to 30% of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and often requires patients to go on dialysis. In patients needing dialysis, the risk of dying is very high.There are no known therapies to reduce the chance of developing kidney damage after heart surgery. There is evidence that patients with high levels of a substance called ouabain have an increased risk of developing kidney damage. This study is testing the hypothesis that giving a medication called DigiFab to lower the ouabain levels will reduce the risk of developing kidney damage after heart surgery.
