About this study

Acute kidney injury (AKI), is a common complication of patients undergoing liver transplantation. Timing and definition of AKI, usually based on serum creatinine, have been inaccurate and inconsistent.

We hypothesized that the pattern of novel biomakers elevation could be a prognostic tool to provide information on the risk of progression of AKI, the need for RRT and mortality.

What is being measured

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

  1. Development of Acute Kidney Injury based on novel biomarkers

    Compare the timing for diagnosis of AKI comparing novel biomarkers and serum creatinine defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes. In addition, we aim to evaluate if the pattern of elevation of the novel biomarkers provide information on progression and severity of AKI.

    Measured: within 7 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Short and long term renal outcomes

    renal function and need for RRT

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Association of urine chemistry and microscopy to predict acute kidney injury

    Association of urine chemistry and microscopy with novel biomarkers to predict AKI diagnosis and progression

    Measured: within 7 days of liver transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 17 May 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 Brazil. 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?

Development of Acute Kidney Injury based on novel biomarkers (time frame: within 7 days). 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 NCT02095431, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 17 May 2016.
