About this study

Autonomic nervous system contributes to the regulation of renal blood flow, affected by upright posture. Kidney transplantation implies sympathetic denervation. The aim of this study is to compare the renal vascular response in volunteers and renal graft recipients to an orthostatic stress induced by a head-up tilt test. Renal peripheral resistances are assessed by echo Doppler. The sympathetic nervous system activity is evaluated by plasma concentrations of catecholamine before and after the head-up tilt test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tilt test in people with Safe Volunteers and Kidney Transplant Recipients, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 1 Jul 2014. 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 France. 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?

Evaluation of vascular resistance standing in renal transplant subjects compared with healthy subjects. (time frame: three years). 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 1 Jul 2014.
