About this study

Official title: Validation of Plasma Endostatin for Predicting Renal Outcome From Acute Kidney Injury Induced by Sepsis

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs up to 50% of patients admitted to intensive care unit. Plasma Endostatin, released from basement membrane of Bowman's capsule, rises early during AKI.

Aim of Work: To investigate the role of the plasma endostatin in the outcome prediction (renal recovery, ICU stay, mortality) of acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis.

Methods: a prospective, observational single center study on 40 patients with Sepsis at the Critical Care Department, Cairo University hospitals between March 2019 and November 2019. Serum plasma endostatin was measured at the day of admission \& every 48hrs (3 samples). APACHE II, SOFA scores were calculated. Forced diuresis was used if indicated.

Read the detailed description

The study was conducted on 40 patients with sepsis who admitted in the Critical Care department of Cairo University.

The sepsis is identified according to surviving sepsis campaign guidelines with use of SOFA score to establish the diagnosis.

The patients divided into 2 groups the first group included 25 patients who developed AKI as defined by KDIGO guidelines and the other group included 15 patients as a control group.

The Plasma Endostatin level is sampled in the first 24 hours of diagnosis of AKI, the estimation of plasma Endostatin level done by ELISA technique.

The results were presented in form of: descriptive, analytical and comparative data between the groups of study.

It was found that the patients with higher levels of plasma endostatin had a higher incidence of recovery from AKI and higher incidence of 28 days survival, while the patients with lower levels of plasma Endostatin below the determined Cut-off value have increased incidence of RRT .

Also that the patients with higher levels of plasma Endostatin levels were less labile to mechanical ventilation and had a higher incidence of weaning of vasopressors in comparison of the other group of lower levels of plasma Endostatin.

Plasma Endostatin levels have no difference between the AKI group and sepsis group which may need further investigations to determine its role in sepsis.

so that, the plasma Endostatin can be used as a marker of recovery from AKI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury Due to Sepsis, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 18 Nov 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

Renal outcme (time frame: 7 days). 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 18 Nov 2020.
