About this study

Official title: Influence of Diuresis Timing (F+0 Vs F-15) on 99m Tc DTPA Renography for the Diagnosis of Suspected Obstructive Uropathy in Adult Hydronephrotic Patients.

Evaluation of the influence of the diuretic injection timing (F+0 Vs F-15) on the dynamic 99mTc- DTPA renal scintigraphy for the diagnosis of suspected obstructive uropathy in adult hydronephrotic patients.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive uropathy can be defined as any blockage of urine drainage from the kidney (renal calyces or renal pelvis), ureter, or bladder. As a result of the blockage, urine backs up into the kidneys, causing dilatation of the ureter, renal pelvis, and renal calyces, which can damage the kidney if it is not treated. The appearance of dilated or enlarged renal pelvis and calyces is referred to as hydronephrosis and is a symptom of obstructive uropathy.

Diuresis renography(renal scan with using of diuretic drug such as furosemide) is non-invasive test which is based on a high endogenous rate of urine flow stimulated by the administration of furosemide. Interpretation of the test is based on the rate of washout of the radiopharmaceutical from the collecting system in the upper urinary tract.

A number of different protocols exist in terms of the timing of furosemide injection, (F+0) protocol in which furosemide is injected at the same time of radiotracer administration \&( F - 15)protocol in which furosemide is administered 15 min before tracer administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison between F+0 and F-15 diuretic protocols to differentiate between functional renal obstruction from mechanical obstruction in adult hydronephrotic patients.

    Analysis of T1/2 in renal scan and find which time of furosemide injection give conclusive results in dignosis of obstructive uropathy

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Scan in Suspected Obstructive Uropathy in Adult Hydronephrotic Patient, 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2020. 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 walaa gamal fathy, Resident doctor (01065037395, dr.walaa196@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison between F+0 and F-15 diuretic protocols to differentiate between functional renal obstruction from mechanical obstruction in adult hydronephrotic patients. (time frame: One year). 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 NCT04564469, which also lists 2 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 Sep 2020.
