Renal Venous Flow and Cardiac Surgery-associated Acute Kidney Injury

November 28, 2023 updated by: Faeq Husain-Syed, University of Giessen

Changes in Doppler-derived Renal Venous Flow and Adverse Renal Outcomes Following Cardiac Surgery

The prospective single-center study investigates the association between changes in Doppler-derived renal venous flow and cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

CSA-AKI is a common postoperative complication in patients undergoing open heart surgery, and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Venous congestion has been identified as the principal cause of cardiorenal decompensation in patients with heart failure but the relative contribution of congestion-driven renal function decline in CSA-AKI is not well studied.

The prospective single-center study investigates whether serial Doppler-derived renal venous flow assessments could help identify subset of patients with cardiorenal syndrome and subclinical renal congestion at high risk of CSA-AKI.

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

Sampling Method

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
Association between perioperative changes in Doppler-derived renal venous venous flow and CSA-AKI
Time Frame: preoperative, 24 hours postoperative, hospital discharge
Doppler-derived renal venous flow
preoperative, 24 hours postoperative, hospital discharge

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
Association of changes in postoperative renal venous flow profiles with renal recovery at hospital discharge
Time Frame: Measured at Day 1 and Day 7 postoperative
Doppler-derived renal venous flow
Measured at Day 1 and Day 7 postoperative
Estimated GFR trajectory up to 3 months post-cardiac surgery relative to kidney
Time Frame: Measured at 3 months post-surgery
Estimated GFR
Measured at 3 months post-surgery

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 20, 2018

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
January 14, 2022

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
