About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Vitamin D Insufficiency and Deficiency in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in Singapore

Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and is associated with elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration and mineral and bone disorder (MBD). There is also increasing evidence to show that these abnormalities increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in CKD patients. There is a need for early identification of vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency in CKD patients to prevent its long-term complications. However, the vitamin D status of CKD patients in Singapore has not been well described. The purpose of this study is to assess the vitamin D status of predialysis CKD patients in a tertiary academic teaching hospital in Singapore, and its association with parameters for MBD. Predialysis patients from the outpatient renal clinic at the National University Hospital (NUH) will be recruited into this study. Blood samples from the patients will be collected after an overnight fast to determine their serum 25(OH)D, creatinine, phosphorus, calcium, albumin and i-PTH concentrations. These parameters will be compared among patients in various stages of CKD.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Vitamin D 25(OH)D levels

    Vitamin D levels are only measured at one time point i.e. at baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stage 2-5 Chronic Kidney Disease and Predialysis, run by National University of Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2014. 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 Singapore. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vitamin D 25(OH)D levels (time frame: baseline). 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 7 Nov 2014.
