About this study

Official title: Urine UbA52 is a Biomarker of Early Diabetic Nephropathy

Definite diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is currently based on renal biopsy findings. In most cases, however, the diagnosis can be reliably made in patients with macroalbuminuria in the presence of diabetic retinopathy.Microalbuminuria is often used as a prognostic marker in type 1 diabetes, because approximately 50% of type 1 diabetes patients with microalbuminuria will eventually develop diabetic nephropathy. Conversely, microalbu- minuria is of much less value as a marker in DM because it has a variety of causes, including hypertension. Thus, additional markers are needed to identify patient groups with a high risk of developing overt diabetic nephropathy. The aims of this study is checking urine UbA52 levels with ELISA to identify its significance in the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy.

Read the detailed description

It is now well recognized that the incidence of diabetes is increasing worldwide. It is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Western countries. Diabetic nephropathy has been reported to occur in 25%-40% of people with diabetes. The appearance of microalbuminuria usually is regarded as incipient nephropathy, but recently, work has suggested that some individuals with diabetes and decreased GFR may not have an increased urinary AER.Identification of markers for prediction of the clinical course of diabetic nephropathy remains a major challenge. Previous research showed that m/z14766 protein by mass spectrometry, was selectively excreted in the urine of diabetic nephropathy patients, the m/z 14766 mass peaks were identified as UbA52. We suppose that UbA52 can be regard as a simple and practical biomarker for diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Nephropathy, run by Hebei Medical University Third Hospital.

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 12 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 21 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The urine UbA52 levels in 30 patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus,30 patients with diabetic nephropathy,30 patients with proteinuria due to nondiabetic renal disease and 30 healthy persons (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02204280, 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 21 Jul 2015.
