About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Sarcopenia and Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 or Higher and the Risk Involved.

This study explores the risk factors for sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease and the effects of sarcopenia on cardiovascular disease. Treatment of sarcopenia and cardiovascular complications provides a basis for improving the quality of life and survival of patients with chronic kidney disease.

Read the detailed description

Sarcopeniais a syndrome characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle dysfunction. The high incidence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with poor quality of life, cardiovascular events, and increased all-cause mortality. At present, the cause of sarcopenia in patients with CKD is still unclear, and factors such as inflammation, malnutrition, and hormone metabolism disorders may affect the occurrence and development of sarcopenia. This topic explores the risk factors of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease and the correlation between sarcopenia and the risk of cardiovascular disease, and provides a basis for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia and cardiovascular complications, with a view to improving the prognosis of CKD patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Epicardial adipose tissue measured by ultrasound color doppler

    EAT is defined as a fat depot that exists on the surface of the myocardium,which plays a detrimental role in our health. EAT would be measured by ultrasound color doppler.

    Measured: the day when being recruited

  2. Intima-media thickness measured by ultrasound color doppler

    IMT of carotid arteries, as assessed noninvasively by carotid ultrasonography, is a useful measure of preclinical atherosclerosis. Carotid IMT has been found to predict future risk of cardiovascular disease.IMT would be measured by ultrasound color doppler.

    Measured: the day when being recruited

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Baseline demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics

    Demographic characteristics include age, sex, height, body mass, blood pressure, primary disease, and comorbidities. BMI = the square of body weight/height (kg/m2). Patient comorbidities were assessed using the Charlson comorbidity Index (CCI). Subjective global assessment (SGA) was used to assess the nutritional status of patients. Laboratory characteristics include sALB,Pre-alb,hs-CRP,TC,TAG,LDL-C,HDL-C,PG ,HbA1c ,creatinine,BNP,iPTH,etc.

    Measured: the day when being recruited

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sarcopenia and CKD, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2022. 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 China. 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?

Epicardial adipose tissue measured by ultrasound color doppler (time frame: the day when being recruited). The study lists 2 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 1 Aug 2022.
