Trial summary

Background: Coagulopathy in chronic kidney disease is multifactorial. Both hypocoagulopathy and hypercoaguability are seen. Conventional tests of coagulation (CCTs) end at the formation of thrombin, and do not take into account the interaction of coagulation factors, platelets, RBC etc. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparative Evaluation of Thromboelastogram and Conventional Coagulation Tests To Detect Coagulopathy in End Stage Renal Disease Patients

Background: Coagulopathy in chronic kidney disease is multifactorial. Both hypocoagulopathy and hypercoaguability are seen. Conventional tests of coagulation (CCTs) end at the formation of thrombin, and do not take into account the interaction of coagulation factors, platelets, RBC etc. By overcoming the above deficiencies, thromboelastography provides a holistic picture of blood coagulation. The present study evaluated the TEG profile of ESRD patients and compared it to CCTs and to controls.

Methods: 50 ESRD patients and 50 controls were recruited for the study. Venous samples were withdrawn and platelet count, INR and fibrinogen levels were measured. Simultaneously a Thromboelastography was performed. All samples were drawn prior to initiation of dialysis.

Patients with known bleeding disorders, coexisting liver diseases, those who were on antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy and patients who had received red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma or platelet transfusions in the past three months were excluded from the study.
Receives: Device: Thromboelastography

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the maximum amplitude on a thromboelastography in patients of chronic kidney disease stage 5 with normal controls.

    Maximum amplitude in whole blood will be measures by a standard kaolin thromboelastography in all patients and controls.

    Measured: 0 hr

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To correlate the maximum amplitude with platelet count and fibrinogen levels in patients of chronic kidney disease

    the maximum amplitude obtained on an thromboelastography denotes clot strength which depends on platelet count and fibrinogen levels. thus an attempt will be made to corelate these values with fibrinogen levels and platelet count.

    Measured: 0 hr

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of End Stage Renal Disease and Coagulopathy, run by Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, India.

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 8 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 12 Jun 2018. 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?

To compare the maximum amplitude on a thromboelastography in patients of chronic kidney disease stage 5 with normal controls. (time frame: 0 hr). 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 12 Jun 2018.
