Analysis of Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Acute Dialysis Therapy at Intensive Care Units

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Acute kidney injury is more frequent and the mortality rate would be as high as 50-60% when the renal replacement therapy was needed. Many studies about the timing of start and discontinuation of dialysis, dialysis dose, dialyzer, anticoagulation and dialysates were initiated but the results were still controversial.

About this study

Acute kidney injury is more frequent and the mortality rate would be as high as 50-60% when the renal replacement therapy was needed. Many studies about the timing of start and discontinuation of dialysis, dialysis dose, dialyzer, anticoagulation and dialysates were initiated but the results were still controversial. In addition, more new biomarkers were found to predict the outcome of acute kidney injury and these biomarkers may play an important role for the dilemma of aforementioned studies.

This observational prospective study has two objectives:

  1. To find the predictors of outcome for the acute kidney injury with renal replacement therapy and determine the appropriate method.
  2. To find the relationship between new biomarkers and acute kidney injury and determine whether it can be a factor for the monitor of the response of the renal replacement therapy.
Read the detailed description

Background:

Acute kidney injury is more frequent than before and the incidence rate was about 35-50% in hospital. The mortality rate would be as high as 50-60% when the renal replacement therapy was needed. Many studies about the timing of start and discontinuation of dialysis, dialysis dose, dialyzer, anticoagulation and dialysates were initiated but the results were still controversial. In addition, more new biomarkers were found to predict the outcome of acute kidney injury and these biomarkers may play an important role for the dilemma of aforementioned studies

Objectives:

  1. To find the predictors of outcome for the acute kidney injury with renal replacement therapy and determine the appropriate method of renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury
  2. To find the relationship between new biomarkers and acute kidney injury and determine whether it can be a factor for the monitor of the response of the renal replacement therapy.

Methods:

  1. Study duration: 2010/01/01 to 2011/6/30
  2. Patient eligibility : over 18 years-old and admitted to medical intensive care units of National Taiwan University Hospital
  3. A prospective study to collect the parameters including underlying diseases, vital signs, biochemistry data, urine output, disease severity scores, dialysis timing, dialysis dose, dialyzer, anticoagulation agents
  4. Collect serum and urine sample for biomarkers if patient agree

Statistics:

Normally distributed variables are expressed as means ± SDs. Statistical significance is set at P<0.05. All statistical analyses are performed with SAS statistical software. Comparisons between two groups are assessed with the student's unpaired t test and Mann-Whitney test. Differences between more than two groups are analyzed by ANOVA (ANOVA) using one-way ANOVA. Survival analyses are made with the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and the Cox proportional hazard model.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 Jan 2010. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Contact Yung-Ming Chen, Ph.D (886-23123456 ext. 65993, chenym@ntuh.gov.tw), or a site near the patient. 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 29 Jan 2010.
