About this study

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication during hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease and may increase the mortality. This study aimed to investigate whether pulse wave analysis could be the predictor of IDH.

In this study, patients under regular hemodialysis were enrolled from Taoyuan Chang Gung memorial hospital. Subjects were evaluated by pulse wave instrument, heart rate variability analyzer and Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire before hemodialysis. According to the definitions of IDH, subjects in study group and control group were confirmed by the dialysis records. Furthermore, repeated examinations were done for 3 hemodialysis to investigate the possible predictive factors for IDH.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intradialytic Hypotension, run by China Medical University, Taiwan.

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 3 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 5 Dec 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?

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?

Pulse wave analysis (time frame: within 2 hours before regular 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 5 Dec 2019.
