About this study

This study is designed to determine the causes of low sodium (salt) in the body fluids outside the cells for patients who have received a kidney transplant at the Mayo Clinic of Florida. The investigators will look at data collected on previous transplant patients at the Mayo Clinic to determine if the low sodium levels could be related to factors occurring in the course of surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the intravenous fluid used in the surgery, which is about half the concentration of normal saline, could contribute to the low sodium levels.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to determine the cause of post operative hyponatremia in renal transplant patients at the Mayo Clinic of Florida. Recently, the investigators have noted a trend in post-operative hyponatremia (low serum sodium) in patients who are recipients of both living donor and cadaveric kidneys. To improve the quality of care of this patient population, the investigators propose the investigation of the sources of this decline in serum sodium levels to determine if this is preventable. The investigators propose that a potential source of post-operative hyponatremia may be related to intra-operative factors. Currently, the intravenous fluid of choice used intra-operatively is 0.45% normal saline. The investigators hypothesize that this fluid choice contributes to post-operative hyponatremia.

To further investigate this the investigators will perform a retrospective review using the renal transplant database to collect data regarding pre-operative diagnoses, co-morbidities, and method of dialysis used in the pre-transplant period. Pre-operative serum sodium level will be compared to post-operative serum sodium levels. Data including post-operative complications, need and reasons for post-operative dialysis, and hospital course will also be collected. Once the data are analyzed and a primary source or sources are identified as causative agents for post-operative hyponatremia, an intervention to prevent a decline in serum sodium post-operatively will be planned for future study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyponatremia, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 26 Oct 2011. 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 United States. 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?

Incidence of Post-operative Hyponatremia Safety Issue?: Yes Incidence of Post-op Hyponatremia (time frame: up to 18 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 26 Oct 2011.
