Maastricht Investigation of Renal Function in Absence of- and Post- Contrast in Patients With eGFR LEss Than 30 (MIRACLE)

Maastricht Investigation of Renal Function in Absence of- and Post- Contrast in Patients With Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate LEss Than 30mL/Min/1.73m2

Intravascular iodinated contrast administration has become crucial to modern medicine. Currently it is estimated that over 250 million injections are given each year worldwide during medical scans and interventions. An acute predefined increase in serum creatinine is considered an indicator of acute kidney injury (AKI). When such an acute increase in serum creatinine occurs within 5 days post-contrast in absence of another aetiology, it is assumed to be iodinated contrast administration induced acute kidney injury. For over 50 years now, acute kidney injury caused by intravascular administration of iodinated contrast material has been considered a leading cause of hospital-acquired renal failure. Contrast has been withheld in fear of kidney injury with misdiagnoses and delayed appropriate patient management as a result. Since 2018, it is now widely accepted that only patients with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2 are at risk of renal injury after intravascular iodinated contrast material injection. However, no study to date has been able to distinguish acute kidney injury caused by iodinated contrast administration from that for which no causal link is established, and it is unsure a causal relationship exists. There are several studies, in attempts to evaluate the causal relationship between contrast exposure and nephrotoxicity, that found fluctuations in absence of contrast similar to those considered to be contrast-induced acute kidney injury. Similarly, it is unsure whether longer-term negative outcomes are inherent to the population studied or a result of contrast administration. However, most of these studies are observational and retrospective in nature. The issue with retrospective studies is that they often cannot control for confounders and therefore cannot give us causation, only association. On the other hand, prospective randomized controlled trials comparing intravascular iodinated contrast administration to no contrast are unlikely given evident ethical issues. The current prospective observational study proposes to use intra-patient comparisons of peak change in renal function during periods in absence of- and with contrast to elucidate the relationship between renal function and contrast administration in this population.

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

The current prospective observational study proposes to use intra-patient comparisons of peak changes in renal function (serum creatinine) in absence of- and post- intravascular iodinated contrast administration, to elucidate the relationship between renal function and contrast administration in elective patients with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2. The effects of contrast administration on risk of 1-month dialysis and mortality will also be evaluated.

Daily serum creatinine assays will be done 1. during 5 days before contrast (= in absence of contrast), 2. during 5 days after contrast (= post-contrast), and 3. during 5 days at 1-month post contrast (= 1-month post contrast in absence of contrast). Baseline serum creatinine values will be obtained on the day before each 5-day series.

Relevant baseline characteristics of patients will be reported to enable a detailed description of the study population. To explore whether the magnitude of the mean difference in peak change in serum creatinine before and after contrast administration depends on other factors, pre-planned subgroup analyses will be performed. To enable subgroup analyses, data will be collected on 1) prophylactic hydration (yes vs no); 2) administration route (intra-arterial versus intravenous contrast administration); 3) contrast volume (high vs low) and 4) comorbidity (presence vs absence of diabetes).

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

Non-Probability Sample

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
Mean difference in peak change in serum creatinine from baseline between a 5 day period before contrast and a 5 day period immediately after contrast.
Time Frame: 5 days
The underlying hypothesis is that intravascular iodinated contrast administration will cause greater peak changes in serum creatinine within 5 days. The primary outcome is peak changes in serum creatinine within 5 days from a baseline measurement. The effect of contrast administration will be expressed as the mean intra-patient difference in peak changes in serum creatinine between pre- and post-contrast periods. Peak change in eGFR will also be calculated based on the peak serum creatinine values.
5 days

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
Mean difference in peak change in serum creatinine from baseline between a 5 day period before contrast and a 5 day period at 1-month post-contrast.
Time Frame: 5 days
mean intra-patient difference between peak changes in serum creatinine occurring within 5 days pre-contrast and 5 days at 1-month post-contrast from baseline measurements (baseline = measurement on the day before every 5-day series). Peak change in eGFR will also be calculated based on the peak serum creatinine values.
5 days
Time to post-contrast peak change in serum creatinine.
Time Frame: 5 days
Time to greatest post-contrast change in serum creatinine from baseline (day 0) within 5 days after contrast administration.

Acute kidney injury in absence of- vs post-contrast.
Time Frame: 5 days
Incidences of peak changes in serum creatinine corresponding to definitions for classic CIN (an increase in serum creatinine greater than 44umol/l or greater than 25% from baseline) and KDIGO acute kidney injury (an increase in serum creatinine greater than 26.5 umol/L from baseline or more than 1.5 times the baseline value). Peak changes will be determined within 5 days pre-contrast and 5 days post-contrast.
