About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Study on the Use of Iodinated Contrast for AV Fistula Salvage in Stage 4/5 CKD Using Bicarbonate Prophylaxis

This is an observational study assessing the impact of conventional dose iodinated contrast on the renal function of advanced chronic kidney disease patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula evaluation using a standard sodium bicarbonate prophylaxis protocol. In addition, this model allows for pre and post procedure measurements of kidney function, providing a unique opportunity to assess the utility of novel biomarkers for contrast-induced kidney injury.

Our primary hypothesis is that there will be no change in serum creatinine post-procedure when using a standard sodium bicarbonate prophylaxis protocol. Our secondary hypothesis is that there will be no change in urinary kidney-injury marker-1 (KIM-1) post-procedure using a standard sodium bicarbonate prophylaxis protocol. In addition, we will assess the impact of different patient characteristics on the development of contrast-induced kidney injury, such as diabetes, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor therapy.

Read the detailed description

The National Kidney Foundation publishes kidney disease outcome guidelines for improving care of the chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient. Regarding hemodialysis vascular access, the recommendation is for early placement of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) to improve morbidity and mortality outcomes, specifically when the glomerular filtration rate is less than 25ml/min, corresponding to stage 4 and 5 CKD. Despite its advantages, the need for surveillance of the AVF to determine maturation for use and maintain optimal longevity requires the use of interventional procedures. While radiocontrast use can lead to acute, often reversible kidney injury, its use in AVF evaluation has renewed interest with the recent implication of gadolinium-enhanced MRI being associated with a rare disorder of skin swelling and induration called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. CKD patients are particularly susceptible to long term adverse outcomes from contrast-induced kidney injury, with 1 year mortality in stage 4 and 5 CKD patients being 44% and 62%, respectively. While optimal fluid therapy to prevent contrast-induced kidney injury remains uncertain, several prospective randomized trials using sodium bicarbonate pretreatment have shown a lower incidence of contrast-related kidney injury compared to isotonic saline. Traditional markers of acute kidney injury, including serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine clearance have been insensitive in differentiating contrast-induced kidney injury from other forms of renal injury. Kidney injury marker-1 (KIM-1) is a transmembrane receptor induced to very high levels in the proximal tubule of the nephron following ischemic and nephrotoxic injury. KIM-1 has been shown in a small cohort of patients to differentiate ischemic kidney injury from other forms of acute and chronic kidney disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Renal Failure, run by MaineHealth at 1 site in United States.

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2018. 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess the impact of conventional dose iodinated contrast on the renal function of stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula evaluation using a standard sodium bicarbonate prophylaxis protocol. (time frame: 48 hours). 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 20 Sep 2018.
