About this study

Official title: Change in Glomerular Filtration Rate and 24 Hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure After Gastric Bypass Surgery Versus Conventional Weight Loss in Morbid Obesity.

The purpose of this study is to determine the change in kidney function and blood pressure after gastric bypass versus conventional medical therapy in morbid obesity. The study mainly focus on glomerular filtration rate(GFR) with known relation to the renal function and 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after intervention of gastric bypass or medical treatment.

Read the detailed description

Metabolic syndrome is strongly associated with obesity and the patients with this syndrome are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Obesity constitutes a strong risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease. Among diabetics, obesity is known to amplify the risk for kidney disease.

Bariatric surgery has yielded dramatic results including longitudinal loss of excess body weight and either complete reversal or significant improvement of several features of metabolic syndrome. In addition, many observational studies have demonstrated significant reduction in proteinuria after bariatric surgery.

However, the changes in the component of cardiovascular problem among metabolic syndrome and changes in renal filtration function or progression to end stage kidney disease in morbidly obese patients after weight loss surgery have not been extensively studied. Therefore, our study mainly focus on glomerular filtration rate(GFR) with known relation to the renal function and 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after intervention of gastric bypass or medical treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Glomerular filtration rate

    Measured: prior to surgery - 1, 3, 6, 12month after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in excessive body weight

    Measured: 1, 3, 6, 12month after surgery

  2. Echocardiographic parameter (Systolic and Diastolic parameters, baPWV and LV function)

    Measured: Before and 12month after surgery

  3. 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure

    Measured: prior to surgery - 1, 3, 6, 12month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome, run by Hanyang University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 19 Feb 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 South Korea. 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?

Change in Glomerular filtration rate (time frame: prior to surgery - 1, 3, 6, 12month after surgery). 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 19 Feb 2016.
