Trial summary

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a common clinical condition. In this population, the prevalence of systemic hypertension is high and its adequate control can determinate the outcome. The first step for a good control of blood pressure in renal patients is adjusting his/her dry weight. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating Different Protocols for Improving the Way of Getting the Best Dry Weight for Hemodialysis Patients, Looking for Blood Pressure Control, Measured by ABPM

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a common clinical condition. In this population, the prevalence of systemic hypertension is high and its adequate control can determinate the outcome.

The first step for a good control of blood pressure in renal patients is adjusting his/her dry weight. Actually, dry weight is assessed based on clinical examination and blood pressure.

The electrical bioimpedance is a simple and portable device. The investigators design a randomized clinical trial for evaluating two ways of getting the best dry weight for hemodialysis patients.

A basal 24h ABPM will be taken before the randomization. Then, 2 weeks later the dry weight be revised, the investigators will get a second 24h ABPM.

Read the detailed description

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a common clinical condition over the world. In this population, the prevalence of systemic hypertension is high and its adequate control can determinate the outcome.

The first step for a good control of blood pressure is giving a dry weight for the patient. We can understand dry weight or target weight as that one which the patient feels comfortable and there aren't clinical signals of volemic overload as edema, dyspnea, orthopnea, jugular turgency, hepatomegalia. Classically, the dry weight is assessed based on clinical examination, blood pressure and experience of hemodialysis staff.

The electrical bioimpedance is a very simple method that possibilities access the corporal compartments, including the body water, using a small and not expensive portable device.

Trying to study new forms for getting the ideal dry weight, we design a randomized clinical trial for evaluating two ways of getting a dry weight for hemodialysis patients.

One group will be dry weight fixed by bioimpedance data and in another group the dry weight will by a clinical protocol.

We will take a 24h ABPM basal from all patients before the randomization. Then, 2 weeks later the dry weight be revised, a second ABPM will be taken. The results will be compared.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ClinicalProcedure or surgery

    Each patient will be submitted a clinical evaluation, considering signals of overload.

  • electrical bioimpedanceDevice

    From electrical bioimpedance data, will be fixed a revised dry weight for each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diastolic and systolic blood pressure assessed by ABPM

    A basal measure will be taken at the start point. Then, the dry weight will be evaluated by clinical or BIA method. After 2 weeks of tree times-week sections of hemodialysis under the revised dry weight, a second measure of ABPM will be performed.

    Measured: after 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. intradialytic signals and/or symptoms

    the intradialytic signals and/or symptoms will be assessed by dialysis registers, before and after de revision of dry weight

    Measured: during two weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clinical and electrical bioimpedance in people with Blood Pressure and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Universidade de Passo Fundo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 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 16 Apr 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 Brazil. 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?

Diastolic and systolic blood pressure assessed by ABPM (time frame: after 2 weeks). 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 16 Apr 2010.
