Renal and Cardiac Risk Factors of AKI After Liver Transplantation

December 23, 2022 updated by: Mansoura University

Renal Resistive Index and Myocardial Performance Index for Early Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury After Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is an extensive operation with various factors contributing to the development of acute kidney injury in the perioperative period. Early diagnosis of AKI can improve clinical outcomes in LT recipients. Renal resistive index is measured in renal arteries and high resistive values are associated with more adverse cardiovascular events and renal failure progression. Myocardial performance index reflects overall cardiac function rather than systolic or diastolic function alone.

Aim of the study: to investigate whether combined doppler renal resistive index and myocardial performance index could predict early postoperative acute kidney injury in living donor liver transplant recipients.

Study design: a prospective observational study that will be conducted at Liver Transplantation Unit at Mansoura University on 105 consecutive living donor liver transplant recipients.

Methods: Renal resistive index (assessed by transabdominal ultrasound) and myocardial performance index (assessed by transthoracic echocardiography) will be measured just before operation, on termination of operation and then daily in the intensive care unit for 7 days. Patients will be observed for development of acute kidney injury.

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

This study aims to investigate whether combined doppler renal resistive index (RRI) assessed by transabdominal sonography and myocardial performance index (MPI) assessed by transthoracic echocardiography could predict early postoperative acute kidney injury in living donor liver transplant recipients.

The primary outcome is the predictive value of renal resistive index and myocardial performance index for the onset of early post living donor liver transplant acute kidney injury.

This prospective observational study will be conducted at Liver Transplantation Unit at Mansoura University from November 2022 till fulfillment of sample size after obtaining approval from Institutional Review Board (IRB). One hundred and five consecutive LDLT recipients will participate in this study after obtaining informed consents. They will be observed for the development of early postoperative acute kidney injury.

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

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
early acute kidney injury (AKI)
Time Frame: in the early 48 postoperative hours
international Club of Ascites' revised classification of AKI in cirrhotic patients as a 0.3 mg/kg increase in serum creatinine
in the early 48 postoperative hours

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
stage of AKI
Time Frame: in the early 48 postoperative hours
Stage (1): serum creatinine increase 1.5- 1.9 times base line; or serum creatinine increase more than 0.3mg/dl. Stage (2): serum creat. Increase 2-2.9 times baseline. Stage (3): serum creat. Increase 3 times baseline ; or s.creat increase to 4mg/dl; or initiation of renal replacement therapy.
in the early 48 postoperative hours
late AKI
Time Frame: within 7 days
