Trial summary

Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the main cause of death in patients on dialysis. The aim of this study is the long-term prognostic values of carotid intima-media thickness and coronary flow reserve in cardiovascular mortality of peritoneal dialysis patients. Read more about this study

Study population: All patients were treated by peritoneal dialysis or followed up as kidney transplant recipient at the Istanbul Medical Faculty from October 1994 to October 2011. Two groups were established for trial as peritoneal dialysis patients and renal transplant recipients. Patients had follow up shorter than six months and missing data not included in the trial

  • Peritoneal dialysis patients whose followed up at least six months from October 1994 to October 2011 (for study group)
  • Kidney transplant recipients whose followed up at least six months from October 1994 to October 2011 (for control group)

Who cannot join

  • diabetes mellitus
  • valvular heart disease,
  • any prior coronary intervention and congestive heart failure
  • Patients whose left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) could not be visualized adequately by Doppler echocardiography were also excluded.

About this study

Official title: Carotid Intima-media Thickness and Coronary Flow Reserve as Cardiovascular Event and Mortality Predictors in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: Results of Seven-year Follow-up From a Single Center

Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the main cause of death in patients on dialysis. The aim of this study is the long-term prognostic values of carotid intima-media thickness and coronary flow reserve in cardiovascular mortality of peritoneal dialysis patients.

Read the detailed description

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a precursor and cause of cardiovascular diseases. Defining of endothelial thickness and coronary microvascular function could be useful for detecting ED. Endothelial dysfunction could be assessed by coronary flow reserve (CFR), carotid intima media thickness (IMT). Repeating measurement of IMT and CFR could be predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 20 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Diseases morbidity (time frame: 10-15 years). 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 20 Oct 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
