Phase 4 — The treatment has already been approved. Researchers are tracking how it works in a large number of people over time.
During major surgery, doctors sometimes need to give medications to maintain safe blood pressure. This trial is testing whether or — two commonly used blood pressure medications — works better at protecting your kidneys after surgery. The study will track your kidney function for several weeks after your operation to see if one medication causes fewer kidney problems than the other.
After major surgery, some patients develop temporary kidney damage, which can lead to serious complications. Doctors want to know if choosing one of these blood pressure medications over the other during surgery might help prevent this kidney injury and keep you safer after your operation.

Your hospital will be randomly assigned to use one of the two medications as the first choice during your surgery — this is the only difference from normal care. Your anesthesiologist will manage your blood pressure as they normally would during the operation. After surgery, the research team will collect information from your medical records to check your kidney function at set times. No extra visits, tests, or procedures are required beyond your standard surgical care.
