About this study

Official title: Preoperative Renal Functional Reserve to Predict Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery: The IRRIV Task Force and Collaborators for the Prevention of Acute Kidney Injury

The investigators seek to determine whether a reduced preoperative renal functional reserve predicts postoperative acute kidney injury in patients with normal estimated glomerular filtration rates undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

Although acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently complicates cardiac surgery, methods to determine AKI risk in patients without underlying kidney disease are lacking. Renal functional reserve (RFR) can be used to measure the capacity of the kidney to increase glomerular filtration rate under conditions of physiological stress and may serve as a functional marker that assesses susceptibility to injury.

The investigators seek to determine whether a reduced preoperative RFR predicts postoperative AKI in patients with normal estimated glomerular filtration rates undergoing elective cardiac surgery. All centres will measure RFR with creatinine clearance, except University Hospital Giessen where in addition iohexol plasma-clearance will be used.

What is being measured

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

  1. Whether a reduced preoperative RFR ≤15 ml/min/1.73 m2 increased the odds ratio for postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

    Renal functional reserve

    Measured: Preoperative

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. determine preoperative RFR accuracy based on receiver operating characteristic curve curve to predict acute kidney injury.

    Renal functional reserve

    Measured: Preoperative

  2. To analyze an acute kidney injury risk prediction model based on clinical covariates.

    Renal functional reserve

    Measured: Preoperative

  3. Mortality at 30 and 90 days

    Mortality

    Measured: 30 and 90 days after surgery

  4. Length of stay in intensive care unit and hospital.

    Hospital stay

    Measured: Postoperative

  5. Use and duration of renal replacement therapy during hospital stay.

    Renal replacement therapy

    Measured: Postoperative

  6. Renal replacement therapy dependence at days 30 and 90.

    Renal replacement therapy

    Measured: 30 and 90 days after surgery

  7. To evaluate renal function at three months after surgery.

    Estimated glomerular filtration rate

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

  8. To evaluate whether preoperative RFR is correlated to renal function at three months after surgery.

    Renal functional reserve

    Measured: Preoperative

  9. To evaluate whether chronic kidney disease is associated to preoperative RFR.

    Renal functional reserve

    Measured: Preoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by University of Giessen at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 22 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 25 Jan 2023. 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 Germany. 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?

Whether a reduced preoperative RFR ≤15 ml/min/1.73 m2 increased the odds ratio for postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. (time frame: Preoperative). 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 NCT03457987, which also lists 4 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 25 Jan 2023.
