Trial summary

NAG is a protein excreted in urine in cases of tubular damage, and is considered a biomarker of kidney injury. Elevated urinary NAG is seen after cardiac surgery, but the clinical significance, pattern of excretion and links to perioperative factors are poorly described. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Urinary Secretion of NAG

NAG is a protein excreted in urine in cases of tubular damage, and is considered a biomarker of kidney injury. Elevated urinary NAG is seen after cardiac surgery, but the clinical significance, pattern of excretion and links to perioperative factors are poorly described. We plan a study of the pattern of NAG-excretion during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, and explore possible associated variables.

Read the detailed description

The standard biomarker of AKI, serum creatinine, has poor specificity and sensitivity in the early phases of renal injury. Since the therapeutic window is likely to be in the earlier stages before renal injury is manifest, there is a need for novel diagnostic methods. In the recent years, several new biomarkers of kidney injury have been introduced. To date, none has proven outstanding regarding precision in early detection of AKI. NAG (N-acetyl-b-D-glucosaminidase) is a lysosomal enzyme with high molecular weight. Due to its size, NAG does not normally pass the glomerulus apparatus, but urine levels are elevated after tubulus damage. NAG excretion in urine is seen in AKI after cardiac surgery, exposure to nephrotoxic agents and after renal transplantation. However, its role in clinical decision-making is yet to be established.

We aim to study the excretion pattern of urinary NAG during and after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Association with perioperative variables will be explored.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Impairment, run by Sahlgrenska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

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 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 8 Mar 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 Sweden. 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?

Urinary NAG secretion (time frame: 24 hours). 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 8 Mar 2016.
