Trial summary

The kidneys have numerous salt and water channels and play a major role in the regulation of sodium and water. We do not know how these channels work in certain water and sodium accumulating medical conditions. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Isotonic and Hypertonic Saline Infusion on Renal Biomarkers for the Measurement of Sodium and Water Channel Activity in the Nephron in Healthy Young Subjects

The kidneys have numerous salt and water channels and play a major role in the regulation of sodium and water. We do not know how these channels work in certain water and sodium accumulating medical conditions.

The purpose of this study is to identify and measure the activity in the water and sodium channels by measuring urine biomarkers/proteins in young healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

25 healthy subjects from age 18-45 are recruited.

Subjects will be examined on three examination days. Four days prior to the examination days the subjects will consume a standard diet based on the amount of sodium and calories.

On the examination day subjects are randomised to an infusion with either isotonic saline 23 ml/kg, hypertonic saline 7 ml/kg or glucose 23 ml/kg for a period of 50 minutes.

Renal function is measured by renal clearance of 51Cr-EDTA, urinary sodium, potassium and creatinine.

Urinary NCC, NKCC and ENAC will be measured to evaluate the activity of sodium channels in the nephron.

What is being measured

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

  1. Renal biomarkers

    Urinary epithelial sodium channels (ENaC), Sodium-Chloride transporters (NCC), Sodium-potassium-2chloride transporters (NKCC) and aquaporin2 channels (AQP2) before, during and after fluid infusion

    Measured: day one

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. blood hormones regulating salt, water and blood pressure

    plasma concentrations of: renin, Angiotensin II, Vasopressin, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)

    Measured: day one

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing isotonic saline 0,9 mg/ml, hypertonic saline 2,9 mg/ml and glucose 5% in people with Nephropathy, run by Regional Hospital Holstebro at 1 site in Denmark.

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 8 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 20 May 2013. 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 Denmark. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Renal biomarkers (time frame: day one). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01414088, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 May 2013.
