About this study

Official title: Association of Continuous Veno-venous Hemodiafiltration With Citrate Anticoagulation to Thyroid Function in Critically Ill Patients

The objective of this study was to assess the changes in thyroid hormones and its activity during CRRT in patients with Acute Kidney Injury.

Read the detailed description

After approval from the local Bioethics Committee of the Medical University of Gdańsk in Poland, the study was carried out between February 2019 and February 2020 among 32 patients admitted to ICU. There was no need to obtain written consent from the patients since the study was observational with no therapeutic intervention and decisional incapacity caused either by sedative drugs or severe condition of the patient.

Patients with acute kidney injury and indications for initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) were included to this study irrespective of their gender, race and age. Exclusion criteria were patients with previous end-stage chronic kidney disease treated with dialysis.

After decision to implement CRRT the serial blood samples were collected into two red-top tube (no anticoagulant or preservative) before initiation of CRRT and at 1,2,3,6,9,12,15,18-day following. Last samples were collected 3 days after the end of CRRT. Level of TSH, fT3 and fT4 were checked from the first tube after collecting the blood. Second tube was kept frozen until levels of TRH, TT3, TT4, rT3 could be measured. In all the patients high-dose continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) with citrate anticoagulation was performed. Blood flow and dialysis dosage were the same for every patient depending on their weight. The weight was rounded up or down and patients were assigned to the nearest group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Secondary Hypothyroidism, run by Medical University of Gdansk at 1 site in Poland.

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 1 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 23 Feb 2021. 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 Poland. 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?

blood concentrations of thyroid hormones (time frame: Samples were collected up to 1 hour before initiation and after 24, 48, 72, 144, 216 hours after initiation of CRRT. Last sample was collected 72 hours after the end of CRRT.). 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 23 Feb 2021.
