Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (FGF-23) is Independently Associated With Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) and Myocardial Performance Index (MPI) in Haemodialysis Patients

An observational study of Fibroblast, run by Diskapi Teaching and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

Trial summary

Serum FGF-23 levels will be measured in patients with a history of coronary artery disease and aortic valve calcifications.It will be searched whether patients with MPI>0.47 had higher or lower serum FGF-23 levels than those with MPI<0.47. Correlations will be examined between log FGF-23 levels and LVMI and MPI. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Serum Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (FGF-23) Levels Are Independently Associated With Left Ventricular Mass and Myocardial Performance Index in Maintenance Haemodialysis Patients

Serum FGF-23 levels will be measured in patients with a history of coronary artery disease and aortic valve calcifications.It will be searched whether patients with MPI>0.47 had higher or lower serum FGF-23 levels than those with MPI<0.47. Correlations will be examined between log FGF-23 levels and LVMI and MPI. Uni and Multivariable-adjusted regression analyses regarding whether increased log FGF-23 concentrations are independently associated with increased left ventricular mass index and increased MPI, will be performed.

Read the detailed description

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a phosphorus-regulating substance. Circulating FGF-23 levels increase markedly in dialysis patients and are independently associated with increased risk of mortality. Given the fact that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in dialysis patients, the aim of this study was to test if elevated FGF-23 levels might be associated with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left ventricular index of myocardial performance (MPI) in maintenance haemodialysis patients.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, plasma FGF-23 concentrations are measured using a C-terminal human enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit and echocardiography is performed in maintenance haemodialysis patients.

Serum FGF-23 levels will be measured in patients with a history of coronary artery disease and aortic valve calcifications.It will be searched whether patients with MPI>0.47 had higher or lower serum FGF-23 levels than those with MPI<0.47. Correlations will be examined between log FGF-23 levels and LVMI and MPI. Uni and Multivariable-adjusted regression analyses regarding whether increased log FGF-23 concentrations are independently associated with increased left ventricular mass index and increased MPI, will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fibroblast, run by Diskapi Teaching and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

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?

To test if elevated FGF-23 levels might be associated with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left ventricular index of myocardial performance (MPI) in maintenance haemodialysis patients. (time frame: 7 months). 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 14 Jul 2010.
