Trial summary

About this study

Official title: Renal Function Determination With Creatinine and Cystatin C Dependent Formulas Compared to Gold Standard DTPA-TC-99 (Diethylene-triamine-pentaacetate- Technetium-99) in Mexican Cirrhotic Patients

We have several ways to appropriately determine renal function in healthy patients and in several diseases, in cirrhotic population we dont have a precise tool that has sufficient precision that reflects glomerular function, although it has been reported that cystatin C, because of its nature could improve diagnostic accuracy to determinate the renal function in this population.

The investigators hypothesize that glomerular filtration obtained from cystatin-C-derived formulas are more accurate when compared to creatinine-derived formulas with DTPA-Tc99 (diethylene-triamine-pentaacetate- technetium-99) as gold standard.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to determine if the formulas for glomerular filtration are close to the estimation of actual renal function in mexican cirrhotic patients of different etiologies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Cirrhosis, run by Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Medicas y Nutricion Salvador Zubiran at 1 site in Mexico.

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 6 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 8 Jun 2016. 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 Mexico. 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?

Levels of glomerular filtration through several formulas in cirrhotic patients (time frame: Baseline). 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 8 Jun 2016.
