About this study

Official title: The Association Between Body Composition and Biomarkers in Hemodialysis Patients

Control of volume status is a pivotal issue in haemodialysis therapy. Objective and practical management for maintaining normovolemia is needed.

The investigators hypothesized that intervention of volume status with the body composition monitor (BCM) may improved hemodynamic parameters and biomarkers in hemodialysis patients.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will assess BCM in enrolled hemodialysis patients by 4 weeks for 16 weeks During the former 8-week intervention period, The investigators will adjust patients' volume status according to the results of BCM.

During the latter 8-week observational period, The investigators will evaluate the changes of patients' hemodynamic parameters and biomarkers.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • control of ultrafiltrationBehavioural

    During the interventional period, dry weight of patients will be adjusted according to the results of body composition.

What is being measured

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

  1. blood pressure

    Systolic blood pressure, number of anti-hypertensive agents hypotensive episode

    Measured: up to 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. biomarkers

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study of End Stage Renal Disease, run by Gachon University Gil Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2010. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sejoong Kim, MD, PhD (82-32-460-8305, imsejoong@hanmail.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

blood pressure (time frame: up to 16 weeks). 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 14 Apr 2010.
