Trial summary

Many patients with chronic renal disease show a loss of the nocturnal decline of blood pressure (non-dipper). However, the mechanism is not yet fully understood. We evaluate 24-hour blood pressure in patients with chronic renal disease using an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device (A \& D TM2425). Read more about this study

About this study

Many patients with chronic renal disease show a loss of the nocturnal decline of blood pressure (non-dipper). However, the mechanism is not yet fully understood. We evaluate 24-hour blood pressure in patients with chronic renal disease using an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device (A \& D TM2425). We also analyze the power spectrum of heart rate variability as an index of autonomic cardiovascular modulation using the same device.

Read the detailed description

The ratio of lower frequency (LF) and higher frequency (HF) heart rate rhythmic oscillations is expressed as an index of sympathovagal balance. Patients with chronic renal disease participate in the study. Blood pressure and power spectrum of heart rate variability for 24 hours are measured when they receive no medication for at least 1 week. The mean waking and sleeping time systolic and diastolic blood pressure are calculated. LF/HF ratios in the chronic renal disease are evaluated to calculate the waking/sleeping ratio for LF/HF.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus and Essential Hypertension, run by Yokohama City University Medical Center at 1 site in Japan.

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 4 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 9 May 2007. 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 Japan. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00298129, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 May 2007.
