Trial summary

Rossi NF \& Schrier RW reported that for having differential diagnosis in hyponatremic state, it is important to have a grasp of extra cellular fluid (ECF) volume. However, recent works showed that it is not easy to estimate the ECF state using by physical findings and by usual laboratory methods. Damaraju SC et al. Read more about this study

About this study

Rossi NF \& Schrier RW reported that for having differential diagnosis in hyponatremic state, it is important to have a grasp of extra cellular fluid (ECF) volume. However, recent works showed that it is not easy to estimate the ECF state using by physical findings and by usual laboratory methods.

Damaraju SC et al. first demonstrated that measuring central venous pressure (CVP) is significant to evaluate the ECF state in hyponatremic patients with intracranial diseases. Accordingly, it may be useful to measure the CVP in the hyponatremic patients. However, usually it is difficult to measure the CVP in all patients with hyponatremia because that the method is due to invasive procedure. With recently development, it is possible to estimate the CVP calculation using cardiac echogram without invasion. However, it is not clear that an evaluation by using such echogram estimates the state of ECF volume in hyponatremic patients.

Therefore, the investigators examine whether the CVP calculation by using cardiac echogram by Marcelino P et al. method without invasion is estimated such condition in hyponatremic patients before and after treatments.

As the primary endpoint, the VCI index values is investigated and compared with each group before and after correction of disorders of fluid with sodium. Furthermore, some variables including sodium, potassium, chloride, creatinine, BUN, uric acid, osmolality in blood and urine and plasma vasopressin are investigated and compared with each group before and after correction of disorders of fluid with sodium.

Read the detailed description

Calculated CVP value as VCI (vena cava inferior) index by Marcelino P et al. method-they reported that VCI index using several echocardiographic parameters measured. A transthoracic echocardiographic study was performed using an Aloka SSD 2200 echocardiograph fitted with 2.5MHz probe with continuous-wave,pulsed and color Doppler (Japan). Using pulsed Doppler,each parameter is measured as following; the deceleration rime of E wave of tricuspid inflow,the gradient between right ventricle (RV) and right atrium (RA) by continuous Doppler,the VCI variation from the corresponding maximum expiratory diameter (measured at 2 cm from the RA and in dorsal decubitus) to its diameter during inspiration. All measurements were taken at the end-expiration in order to standardize the samples. VCI index = [tricuspid E deceleration (ms)] x 0.11 + [RV/RA gradient (mmHg)] x 0.16 - [VCI variation (mm)] (VCI, vena cava inferior; tricuspid E, tricuspid E wave; RV, right ventricle, RA, right atrium).

Na, Cl, K, creatinine, BUN and uric acid in serum and urine were measured by the usual methods before and after the correction of plasma volume. Further, osmolality and vasopressin in plasma and osmolality in urine were also measured by the usual methods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Other Diagnoses and Conditions, run by Nagaoka Red Cross Hospital at 1 site in Japan.

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 5 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 Mar 2012. 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 Japan. 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?

Calculated CVP by using cardiac echogram (time frame: within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after correcting status of plasma volume). 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 NCT01547650, 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 14 Mar 2012.
