About this study

Official title: Access Creation for Hemodialysis: Potential Contribution to Left Ventricular Remodelling

The purpose of this study is to determine if the creation of a fistula or a graft plays a role in the development of heart disease for patients undergoing hemodialysis

Read the detailed description

Patients with end stage renal disease are at 18-20 times greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease as the general population. Both traditional and non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors are thought to be important. Of the non-tradtional cardiovascular risk factors, creation of an arteriovenous fistula or graft for the purposes of a blood access for hemodialysis may contribute to an elevation in BNP and left ventricular hypertrophy - both factors that have been associated with an increased risk of mortality Prior to access creation and at one month and one year post access creation - samples for BNP will be collected Prior to access creation and at one year post access creation - echocardiography will be performed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arteriovenous Fistula and Arteriovenous Graft, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2023. 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 Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

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 13 Nov 2023.
