About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Association Between Albuminuria and Arterial Stiffness in Diabetic Patients, Hypertensive Patients and Healthy Controls

The investigators aim to investigate the relationship between albuminuria and arterial stiffness in diabetic patients, hypertensive patients and healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

CONTEXT: Albuminuria is an important cardiovascular risk factor. Arterial stiffness also gives important information about atherosclerosis. Oscillometric methods may be useful in assessing arterial stiffness in a mainly operator independent way.

OBJECTIVE: We aim to investigate the relationship between albuminuria and arterial stiffness measured with an oscillometric device in diabetic patients, hypertensive patients and healthy subjects.

METHODS: 152 diabetic patients, 152 hypertensive patients and 152 healthy subjects are planned to be enrolled in this study. The measurements will be done between 9:00 and 13:00. After the measurements, blood and urine samples will be obtained, centrifugated and kept in -80°C until assayed. Afterwards, echocardiographic left ventricle mass index will be calculated. The correlation between albuminuria and arterial stiffness will be assessed as the primary outcome measure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation between albuminuria and arterial stiffness

    Measured: Albuminuria and arterial stiffness will be assessed simultaneously (i.e. in the same morning)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 30 Aug 2016. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between albuminuria and arterial stiffness (time frame: Albuminuria and arterial stiffness will be assessed simultaneously (i.e. in the same morning)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Aug 2016.
