Trial summary

Hypertension is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disease in real-life. Blood pressure and kidney functions are known to be closely related. Increased serum level of Cystatin C, a sensitive biomarker for renal function, seems to predict adverse cardiovascular events. Read more about this study

About this study

Hypertension is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disease in real-life. Blood pressure and kidney functions are known to be closely related. Increased serum level of Cystatin C, a sensitive biomarker for renal function, seems to predict adverse cardiovascular events. The investigators aimed to evaluate the predictive value of serum Cystatin C for control of hypertension in a community-based study.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 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?

Where is the study taking place?

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 prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension (time frame: At subject enrollment). 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 27 Jan 2015.
