About this study
The assessment of renal functional reserve (RFR) has been proposed for the risk stratification of patients undergoing potentially nephrotoxic procedures. The present pilot study is designed to explore the correlation between IRRIV and RFR under pathologic conditions.
Read the detailed description
Renal functional reserve (RFR) represents the capacity of the kidney to increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in response to certain physiological or pathological stimuli or conditions.
RFR is calculated as the difference between the measured maximum GFR achieved through a renal stress test and the baseline GFR measured in rest conditions. In clinical practice, the most common renal stress test is performed as a standardized protein loading test. Recently, in a pilot study, the investigators demonstrated a significant correlation between RFR and the intra-parenchymal renal resistive index variation (IRRIV) during an echo renal stress test in a cohort of healthy volunteers. IRRIV test has proven to be rapid, safe, bedside and easy to perform and it might represent a preliminary test in screening patients' RFR.The present pilot study is designed to explore the correlation between IRRIV and RFR under pathologic conditions.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| IRRIV and RFR | Enrolled patients will receive IRRIV test and RFR assessment. RFR will be evaluated through a protein loading test. (1.2 g of protein/Kg of body weight) performed with cooked beef. The RFR was then defined as the difference between the highest CrCl obtained after the protein load and the baseline CrCl measured on rest conditions. Concerning the IRRIV test, a weight of 10% of the patient's body weight is applied on the abdominal wall. RRIs is recorded in a middle interlobular artery, every minute for 10 minutes during the echo-renal stress test. The lowest RRI reached is taken as reference (stress RRI). The IRRIV is defined as the percentage difference between baseline RRI and stress RRI |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Correlation between IRRIV test and RFR in cardiac surgery patients
IRRIV test and RFR will be determined and a relationship will be assessed
Measured: Change from baseline to 60 minutes
Secondary outcomes (1)
Concordance between IRRIV test and RFR in cardiac surgery patients
Concordance between presence of RFR (i.e. a RFR≥15ml/min/1.73m2) and a positive/uncertain/negative IRRIV is evaluated.
Measured: Change from baseline to 60 minutes
