About this study

Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem that classified into five stages (1). End stage renal disease (CDK stage 5) patients require a well-functioning vascular access (VA) for successful hemodialysis treatment (2). Types of VA include arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). A vascular access is liable to early or late complications, and ultimately access failure. A meta-analysis showed that a 17% mean early access failure However recent studies have shown higher failure rates of up to 46%, with one year patencies between 52% to 83% (3). Low VA flow, thrombosis and loss of patency may result in under-dialysis that leads to increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenditure (4). In the majority of VAs, stenoses develop over variable intervals causing VA thrombosis and failure (5). If early detected and corrected, VA function and patency can be preserved and under-dialysis can be minimized or avoided. The aim of this study is to find out the role of periodic surveillance of VA in the detection of VA dysfunction and correctable lesions that may necessitate pre-emptive interventions to maintain VA patency and prevent VA loss

Being tested
duplex ultrasound

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    Also called diagnostic venography, angioplasty, surgery

    regular duplex follow up every three months with subsequent intervention either diagnostic venography , angioplasty or surgery according to the type of the lesion

What is being measured

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

  1. Number, type and technical success rate for elective interventions

    Measured: within one year of creation of the VA

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. secondary patency rate of the Arteriovenous Access after elective intervention

    Measured: within one year of creation of the VA

  2. number , type of complication that resulted from elective interventions

    Measured: within one year of creation of the VA

  3. primary patency rate of newly created Arteriovenous Access in assiut governorate

    Measured: within one year of creation of the VA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing duplex ultrasound in people with Hemodialysis Access Failure, run by Assiut University.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2019. 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?

Contact ahmed m rashed, resident (00201064252719, ahmedrashed9933@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number, type and technical success rate for elective interventions (time frame: within one year of creation of the VA). 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 NCT04098159, which also lists 6 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 24 Sep 2019.
