Trial summary

The state of hyperhydration in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased mortality. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) appears to be a viable method to access the fluid status of critical patients but has never been evaluated in critical patients with AKI.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Hydration Status Using Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis in Critical Patients With Acute Kidney Injury

The state of hyperhydration in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased mortality. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) appears to be a viable method to access the fluid status of critical patients but has never been evaluated in critical patients with AKI. The objective of this study is to evaluate the hydration status using BIVA in critical patients under intensive care at the time of AKI diagnosis and to correlate this measurement with mortality. A sample of 224 patients with AKI will be evaluated by BIVA and followed until they are discharged or death in intensive care unit and the BIVA vectors will be analysed to define differences in hydration characteristics from each group.

Read the detailed description

Patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) will be assessed by BIVA at the moment of the AKI diagnosis. They will be followed up to 12 weeks, until hospital discharge or death. The association between survival and hydration status, as assessed by BIVA in the first AKI day, will be tested.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of survivors in patients with AKI diagnosis during ICU

    Patients admitted in ICU will be followed up to 2 weeks after AKI diagnosis and survival will be analyzed according to their hydration status assessed by BIVA.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks after AKI diagnosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury and Critical Illness, run by Catholic University of Pelotas.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 18 Oct 2016. 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?

Proportion of survivors in patients with AKI diagnosis during ICU (time frame: Up to 12 weeks after AKI diagnosis). 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 18 Oct 2016.
