About this study

The purpose of the investigators' study is to determine whether the production of heat shock proteins has an effect on the development and the outcome of acute renal failure in children.

Read the detailed description

A prognostic factor for the development of acute renal failure (ANR) in children would be very valuable for therapy regulation. So-called chaperones out of the family of heat shock proteins (HSP) are promising candidates which are involved in the development of ANR as well. This could be a starting point for the development of new therapeutic approaches.

ANR occurs in up to 50 percent of all critical ill patients and has a high rate of morbidity and mortality despite advances in symptomatic therapy. Following severe sepsis, septic shock or other shocks, combined with multiple organ failure, the ANR is an autonomous prognosis worsening factor.

Should the results of our study show a correlation between the production of HSP and the outcome of children with ANR, further studies would be required, to examine the pathophysiological relevance of HSP in ANR. We would then be able to determine a high risk population for ANR. A modulation of ANR therapy might be a result of further studies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Failure, Acute, run by University of Munich Children's Clinic at 6 sites in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Germany. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acute renal failure. (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
