Trial summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI), which can occur after major surgeries, leads to increased morbidity and mortality if not detected and managed promptly. In clinical practice, serum creatinine and urine output values of patients are monitored to detect AKI, but these parameters can cause delays in diagnosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Renal Doppler Resistive Index and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin Measurement in Detecting Acute Kidney Injury in Major Abdominal Surgery

Acute kidney injury (AKI), which can occur after major surgeries, leads to increased morbidity and mortality if not detected and managed promptly. In clinical practice, serum creatinine and urine output values of patients are monitored to detect AKI, but these parameters can cause delays in diagnosis. Additionally, studies have been conducted on biomarkers such as Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C in recent years, but definitive results have not been achieved.

Renal Doppler Resistive Index (RDRI) is a non-invasive index believed to reflect renal vascular perfusion. RDRI measurement is a repeatable, inexpensive, and easy-to-apply technique. RDRI has been found to be associated with AKI in conditions such as renal dysfunction, hypertension, and post-traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Furthermore, due to the impact on renal perfusion in patients undergoing major surgery, RDRI, which reflects renal vascular resistance, can serve as an indicator of kidney perfusion.

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis, 'Does measuring postoperative RDRI in major abdominal surgery cases yield higher sensitivity and specificity values in detecting acute kidney injury compared to NGAL?'

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated LipocalinDiagnostic test

    Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin, which can be measured from serum or urine, can detect acute kidney failure that may occur after surgery in the early stages.

  • Renal Doppler Resistive IndexDiagnostic test

    Renal Doppler Resistive Index (RDRI) is a non-invasive index believed to reflect renal vascular perfusion. RDRI measurement is a repeatable, inexpensive, and easy-to-apply technique. RDRI has been found to be associated with AKI in conditions such as renal dysfunction, hypertension, and post-traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Furthermore, due to the impact on renal perfusion in patients undergoing major surgery, RDRI, which reflects renal vascular resistance, can serve as an indicator of kidney perfusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma NGAL Level

    From patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, a blood sample will be taken at Postop 4th Hour for serum NGAL analysis

    Measured: Postoperative 4th hour

  2. Renal Doppler Resistive Index

    Renal Doppler Resistive Index will be measured at the 4th hour after major abdominal surgery.

    Measured: Postoperative 4th hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by Antalya Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Plasma NGAL Level (time frame: Postoperative 4th hour). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05929573, 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 30 Jul 2024.
