Trial summary

Background: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (1,25-OHD) as well as mineral bone metabolism modulators like sclerostin are thought to play an important role in in diabetic patients with chronic renal failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Hemodialysis on Serum Sclerostin Levels in Diabetic Patients With Chronic Renal Failure

Background: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (1,25-OHD) as well as mineral bone metabolism modulators like sclerostin are thought to play an important role in in diabetic patients with chronic renal failure. The present study aimed to analyse the levels of serum sclerostin before and after hemodialysis which is a primary element of treatment in such combined disease states.

Methods: Serum sclerostin concentrations were measured using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit with 56 individuals who 14 chronic hemodialysis patients with diabetes, 14 chronic hemodialysis patients with non-diabetes and 28 healthy volunteers as a control group.

Read the detailed description

Sclerostin results in a phenotype characterized by high bone mass (sclerosteosis) in humans, it is produced by osteocytes and chondrocytes, it suppresses osteoblast activity by inhibiting canonicular Wnt / β-catenin signal, it is described as an anti-anabolic protein of 22-kDa size.In diabetes mellitus patients osteoporosis and obesity always create problems, increased levels of sclerostin inhibit canonicular Wnt / β-catenin signal and is potentially held responsible from bone fragility. Bone problems are important both for chronic kidney disease patients and diabetes mellitus patients and in instances where these two diseases coexist, the importance of sclerostin as a new marker of bone turnover increases. The objective of this study is to evaluate how serum sclerostin levels are affected in diabetes mellitus patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. To this end, the investigators analyzed the levels of serum sclerostin before and after hemodialysis as it is a main element of treatment in such combined disease states.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Diabetic group,The study was designed with 28 chronic hemodialysis patients (17 men, 11 women) receiving treatment at our hospital. Of the 28 hemodialysis patients, 14 had Type 2 diabetes mellitus. On the day of hemodialysis, blood samples were obtained within 30 minutes of before and after dialysis. Intervention is to take blood samples and determine serum sclerostin level in blood samples. Any drugs or substances will not be given.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: serum sclerostin
Non-Diabetic group,Of the 28 hemodialysis patients, the other 14 were not diabetic. On the day of hemodialysis, blood samples were obtained within 30 minutes of before and after dialysis. Intervention is to take blood samples and determine serum sclerostin level in blood samples. Any drugs or substances will not be given.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: serum sclerostin
Control group,The study was designed with 56 individuals; 28 healthy volunteers as a control group. Venous blood samples of the control group were obtained at the blood sampling unit by the healthcare personnel during morning hours following overnight fasting while they were sitting after being rested. The intervention is to take blood samples and determine serum sclerostin level in blood samples. Any drugs or substances will not be given.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: serum sclerostin

What is being measured

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

  1. change from levels of serum sclerostin of Diabetic group in dialysis at 1 months

    Sclerostin is an anti-anabolic protein of 22-kDa size, at a level of ng/mL. Serum concentrations are measured with an ELISA kit (Cloud-CloneCorp., Katy, TX 77494, USA).

    Measured: blood samples were obtained within 30 minutes of before and after dialysis

  2. change from levels of serum sclerostin of Non-diabetic group in dialysis at 1 months

    Sclerostin is an anti-anabolic protein of 22-kDa size, at a level of ng/mL. Serum concentrations are measured with an ELISA kit (Cloud-CloneCorp., Katy, TX 77494, USA).

    Measured: blood samples were obtained within 30 minutes of before and after dialysis

  3. change from levels of serum sclerostin of control group

    Sclerostin is an anti-anabolic protein of 22-kDa size, at a level of ng/mL. Serum concentrations are measured with an ELISA kit (Cloud-CloneCorp., Katy, TX 77494, USA).

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus and Renal Failure, run by Abant Izzet Baysal University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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 16 May 2019. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

change from levels of serum sclerostin of Diabetic group in dialysis at 1 months (time frame: blood samples were obtained within 30 minutes of before and after dialysis). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 May 2019.
