Trial summary

Renal resistive index (RRI) is calculated from ultrasonographic Doppler measurements of flow velocities in intraparenchymal renal arteries. Normal values are around 0.60, and 0.70 is considered the upper normal threshold in adults. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Preoperative Renal Resistive Index to Predict Long-term Development of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Renal resistive index (RRI) is calculated from ultrasonographic Doppler measurements of flow velocities in intraparenchymal renal arteries. Normal values are around 0.60, and 0.70 is considered the upper normal threshold in adults. Both preoperative and postoperative elevation of RRI has shown promise in early detection of AKI after cardiac surgery. Further, elevated RRI before coronary angiography is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications up to 1 year after the procedure. The role of preoperative RRI in predicting long-term renal and cardiovascular complications after elective surgery is however not known. The aim of this study is to assess the role of preoperative RRI to predict the risk of persistent renal dysfunction as well as renal- and cardiovascular complications up to 5 years after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Long-term renal dysfunction

    Reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥25% from baseline

    Measured: 5 years after surgery or end of follow-up

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Short-term renal dysfunction

    Reduced eGFR ≥25% from baseline

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  2. Intermediate renal dysfunction

    Reduced eGFR ≥25% from baseline

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  3. Major adverse kidney events (MAKE)

    Composite outcome during follow-up time including one of; death, renal replacement therapy, reduced eGFR ≥25% from baseline

    Measured: 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, and 5 years after surgery or end of follow-up

  4. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE)

    Composite outcome during follow-up time including one of; death, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke

    Measured: 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, and 5 years after surgery or end of follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury and Acute Kidney Disease, run by Region Stockholm at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 24 Nov 2023. 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 Sweden. 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?

Long-term renal dysfunction (time frame: 5 years after surgery or end of follow-up). 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 24 Nov 2023.
