Genetic Determinants of the Hypokalemic and Hyperglycemic Effect of Albuterol Inhalation

A study testing Albuterol (1,200 μg) through metered-dose inhaler in people with Hyperkalemia and Chronic Renal Failure, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

Trial summary

Several studies have indicated that albuterol administered either intravenously or by inhalation can significantly reduce plasma potassium concentration in patients suffering from chronic renal failure.In conjunction with the decrease in potassium concentration a modest rise in glucose concentration is usually noted.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of β2 Genetic Polymorphisms and the Effect of Albuterol Inhalation on Potassium and Glucose Plasma Concentration

Several studies have indicated that albuterol administered either intravenously or by inhalation can significantly reduce plasma potassium concentration in patients suffering from chronic renal failure.In conjunction with the decrease in potassium concentration a modest rise in glucose concentration is usually noted. These metabolic effects are characterized by rapid onset occurring as early as 3-5 minutes following salbutamol administration and lasting for at least 1 hour.

The role played by ß2AR polymorphisms in determining the bronchial and vascular response to ß2AR agonist drugs, have been confirmed by several studies.

The purpose of the present study is to examine possible causal relationships between genetically based alteration in the structure of ß2AR and the metabolic effects of inhaled albuterol.

Being tested
Albuterol (1,200 μg) through metered-dose inhaler

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Albuterol (1,200 μg) through metered-dose inhaler in people with Hyperkalemia and Chronic Renal Failure, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The extent of decrease in plasma potassium concentration. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Oct 2008.
