A study published in JAMA found that infusing glutamate during cardiac surgery can reduce kidney injury. The study involved 1,000 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, with half receiving a glutamate infusion and half receiving a placebo. The results showed that the group receiving the glutamate infusion had a lower incidence of kidney injury. The researchers suggested that glutamate may have a protective effect on the kidneys during the stress of cardiac surgery. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to understand the potential mechanisms behind glutamate’s protective effects on the kidneys. This study has the potential to impact clinical practice in reducing kidney injury after cardiac surgery.
