Trial summary

Postoperative acute renal failure is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery. The current practice cannot predict Acute Kidney Injuries (AKI) early enough to reduce a significant kidney assault and prevent an organic dysfunction leading to cortical tubular necrosis.

About this study

Official title: Renal Resistive Index Compared With NephroCheckTM to Predict Postoperative Acute Renal Failure in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.

Postoperative acute renal failure is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery. The current practice cannot predict Acute Kidney Injuries (AKI) early enough to reduce a significant kidney assault and prevent an organic dysfunction leading to cortical tubular necrosis.

Several recent studies in cardiac surgery have shown that, both sonographic criteria, such as the Renal Resistive Index (IRR) and urinary biomarkers can predict AKI promptly. These urinary biomarkers are the 'tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases' (TIMP-2) and the 'insulin-like growth factor binding protein' (IGFBP7). These two proteins are sought noninvasively, directly in the urine, within the same test called 'NephroCheckTM'. These markers, ultrasonographic and biologic, have the advantage of being easy to perform, accessible and seem to have both high sensitivity and specificity to predict AKI promptly after cardiac surgery. Thus, the IRR and the NephroCheckTM test could become essential tests to guide clinicians in determining rapidly whether a patient will develop AKI. However, so far, no study has compared these markers yet.

Therefore, the aim of this prospective observational study will be to compare the effectiveness of the IRR with the NephroCheckTM to predict AKI promptly after cardiac surgery. The secondary outcome will be to determine the threshold of these markers from which patients will be likely to develop AKI

What is being measured

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

  1. Renal Resistive Index compared with NephroCheckTM

    Compare the effectiveness of the IRR with the NephroCheckTM to predict AKI after cardiac surgery. AKI will be defined according to the RIFLE criteria.

    Measured: Day 0 (inclusion) / after cardiac surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Surgery and Extracorporeal Circulation, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux 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 9 inclusion and 10 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 2 Nov 2015. 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?

Renal Resistive Index compared with NephroCheckTM (time frame: Day 0 (inclusion) / after cardiac 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 2 Nov 2015.
