Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Ischemic preconditioning is thought to work by down-regulating pro-inflammatory gene expression and up-regulating anti-inflammatory gene expression in leukocytes. There is a local release of vasodilators, including adenosine and nitric oxide that are thought to have renal protective effects [16]. More is known regarding ischemic preconditioning in the heart, where it has been shown to decrease the adenine nucleotide pool, increase creatine phosphate and intracellular glucose, decrease ATP depletion, and lactate and H+ accumulation. This leads to sodium maintenance of the transmembrane sodium gradient that prevents intracellular edema. Ischemic preconditioning is thought to yield protection in the first minutes of reperfusion. Activation of the adenosine A1, bradykinin, and opioid receptors is thought to trigger protection. This is supported by the interference with protection if an adenosine receptor antagonist is administered. The role of reactive oxygen species as part of the protective mechanism has also been described via mitochondrial mKATP channels which lead to increased production of protective superoxide. Protein kinase C may also be involved in the protective mechanism of ischemic preconditioning, however the exact mechanism is unknown and controversial.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Undergoing planned coronary angiography (including both cardiac and peripheral vascular) and/or intervention at KUMC

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with normal renal function (stage 0 to 2 chronic kidney disease and/or serum creatinine less than 1.4 mg/dl)
  • Inability or unwillingness to provide consent
  • Patients undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis therapy
  • Patients with renal artery stenting
  • Hemodynamically unstable patients
  • Patients with acute or acute on chronic heart failure
  • Patients who are unable to undergo the study procedure due to any upper extremity problems such as prior amputation, prior radical mastectomy, etc

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Ischemic Preconditioning Group
Participants randomized to this group will have a blood pressure cuff placed on each arm, and these cuffs will be inflated one at a time to a pressure calculated based on the person's blood pressure.
Other: Ischemic preconditionin
Ischemic preconditioning will be accomplished through 4 cycles of alternating 5-minute inflation and 5-minute deflation of an upper-arm blood pressure cuff to the patient's systolic blood pressure plus 50% to induce ischemia and reperfusion.
Active Comparator: Control Group
Participants randomized to this group will have a blood pressure cuff placed on each arm, and these cuffs will be inflated one at a time to a set pressure (30mmHg, or millimeters of mercury on a blood pressure measuring machine).
Other: Ischemic preconditionin
Ischemic preconditioning will be accomplished through 4 cycles of alternating 5-minute inflation and 5-minute deflation of an upper-arm blood pressure cuff to the patient's systolic blood pressure plus 50% to induce ischemia and reperfusion.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acute Kidney Injury
Time Frame: 1 year
Defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine greater than or equal to 0.5 mg/dl or a relative increase of greater than or equal to 25% compared with pre-procedural baseline as compared to 48-72 hours post-angiography.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression of kidney disease
Time Frame: 1 year
Defined as change in serum creatinine and epidermal growth factor receptor (eGFR)
