About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Kidney Injury Biomarkers in Women Suffering From Preeclampsia

we found different pattern of podocyte glycoproteins and kidney injury biomarkers in urine specimens between preeclampsia and pregnancy complicated with chronic hypertention compared with normotensive pregnant controls.abnormally elevayed urine biomarkers in severe preeclampsia were completely or prtially reduced 6-8 weaks after delivery to levels comparable with those of normal pregnant subjects.

Read the detailed description

Study design:

  • Type of the study: Aprospective cross sectional study .All patients will be enrolled in the study after obtaining a written consent.
  • Setting: This study will be carried in the Emergency room of Assiut university Hospital \&Luxor International Hospital

Statistical Methods:

Inclusion criteria:

  • the presence of informed consent
  • Prim gravid or multi gravid <5
  • age:18-35 ys
  • Singleton pregnancy with gestational age >34weeks.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Serious maternal illness.
  • Smokers
  • women with pregnancy complicated by nephritic syndrome, diabetic mellitus, or gestational diabetes
  • women known to have renal disease
  • oliguria
  • Methods : 200 patients with severe peclampsia will be recorded in Assiut university hospital and luxor international hospital in aperiod of 6 months initial assessement: Blood pressure will be measuerd in ER urine analysis will be done in ER by Urine Dipstick Analysis 40 cases will be randomized selected where urine sample will be collected to analyze the markers to be studied

The women will be subjected to the following:

  1. Detailed history taking
  2. Clinical examination:
  3. General examination: pulse, temperature, blood pressure, body weight and height, body mass index.
  4. Abdominal examination.
  5. obestetric Ultrasonography to calculate gestational age,viability , amniotic fluid ,placental site and to exclude any congenital malformation.
  6. Assessemet of renal function :urine output,blood urea,serum creatinine, u/s
  7. All routine investigations: C.B.C., Rh, blood grouping, kidney functions tests, liver enzymes.
  8. sample collection : Freshly obtained urine specimens were centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 10 min within 30 min of collection, aliquoted, and stored at _70°C until assayed. Dipstick detection for urine protein, pH, and gravity. Urine protein, pH, gravity, etc. were detected by Dipstick (Uri-Trak-3) in all urine specimens before being aliquoted for storage at _70°C. Urine protein was positive for all study subjects in mild and severe preeclamptic groups.

Biomarkers evaluated in urine specimens including podocyte glycoproteins nephrin and podocalyxin, All biomarkers were measured by ELISA. Assay information for sources of ELISA kits, standard cure range, sample dilution factors, etc.

All assays will be performed following the manufacture's instructions. All specimens will be measured in duplicate.

Personnel who performed the assays of analyteswere blinded to the clinical information.

  1. postnatal visits: Postnatal investigation, monitoring and treatment (including after discharge from critical care) Blood pressure

Weekly till the end of puerperium.the postatal visits will iclude:

  • Measurement of blood pressure
  • U/S kidney
  • Askig about urinary symptoms as amout of urine ,colour of urine ,and burning sensation.

Postnatal care will be done according to NICE clinical guidelines at the nearby patients health care centre .the patients will be handed on information sheet containing instructions about postnatal care. the patients will be followed up by telephone to report any abnormalities that may occur

Being tested
Elisa assay of podocyte glycoprotein in urine

What is being measured

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

  1. Magnitude of renal injury caused by preclampsia

    the changes in renal chemistry (serum creatinine and blood urea) in pregnant women with severe preclampsia

    Measured: within 6 month postpartum

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Apgar score of the deliverd fetus

    standard score to assess fetal status after delivery

    Measured: 1, 5 and 10 minutes after delivery

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Magnitude of renal injury caused by preclampsia (time frame: within 6 month postpartum). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03217916, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 14 Jul 2017.
