About this study

Official title: Wasting in Chronic Kidney Disease: Refeeding Techniques and Artificial Nutrition Practices

Protein energy wasting is an independent factor associated with morbi-mortality in chronic kidney disease. Wasting is particularly common in chronic diseases of organs such as kidney disease with a major impact at the stage of dialysis. It covers 20 to 70% of patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease according to the degree of evolution of the disease and the diagnostic method.

Mechanisms of PEW are based mainly on anorexia and metabolic abnormalities caused by kidney disease. Nutritional treatment differs depending on the stage of the kidney disease acute or chronic treated whether or not by dialysis. Nutritional monitoring should be regular, individualized and collaborative to detect a risk of PEW or treat installed PEW. Refeeding techniques should allow all the nutritional needs. Their indications depend on the clinic, biochemical assessment and nutrient intake.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nutritional careDietary supplement

    • Diagnosis of protein energy wasting : anthropometry, calculation of the nutrient intakes, evaluation of appetite, evaluation of gastrointestinal syndromes, hand grip test and bioimpedancemetry
    • Treatment of protein energy wasting : estimation of nutritional requirements, prescription of oral nutritional supplement or artificial nutrition, physical rehabilitation
    • Multidisciplinary approach (nephrologists, dieticians, physiotherapists, nurses)
    • Evaluation of the nutritional treatment (plasma albumin and prealbumin, weight evolution, muscle strength and body composition)

What is being measured

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

  1. Nutritional care evaluated with questionnaire

    Measured: Since admissions to hospital, up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. body composition

    Measured: Since admissions to hospital, up to 4 weeks

  2. physical activity

    Measured: Since admissions to hospital, up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Hospitalized, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 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 1 May 2017. 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?

Nutritional care evaluated with questionnaire (time frame: Since admissions to hospital, up to 4 weeks). 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 1 May 2017.
