  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: patients (cases) that developed AKI during the follow-up period of 72 h. AKI was defined as a 50% or greater increase in SCr from baseline according to the RIFLE-R criteria. For each of these cases, we then selected 20 controls from patients who also underwent open heart surgery but did not develop AKI. We matched the cases and controls as closely as possible for age, sex, baseline estimated GFR, comorbidities, medications, type of surgery and perioperative complications.

Who may be able to join

  • AKI is defined as a serum creatinine level greater that 50% more than baseline during the first 3 postoperative days (PODs), and non-AKI, as a less than 10% increase.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with chronic kidney disease (baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 as calculated by using the 4-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation, or protein-creatinine ratio > 100 mg/mmol) are excluded.

About this study

Official title: Early Diagnosis of Postoperative Acute Renal Failure - Using Biomarker to Predict the Outcome of Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury

The purpose of this study is to determine soluble HJV could be an early diagnosis urinary biomarker of ischemia/reperfusion injury in post CPB-patients.

Read the detailed description

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome on Intensive Care Unit, and renal dysfunction would result in a further morbidity and mortality. Critical ills complicated with acute kidney injury are usually accompanied with multi-organ failure. Therefore, National Taiwan University Hospital Study group of Acute Renal Failure (NSARF) realizes that the characteristics of AKI is resulted from the perfusion less of body fluid and attempt to develop therapies to prevent or attenuate AKI, which have had limited success. We attempt to use the novel biomarker soluble hemojuvelin (sHJV) to evaluate the iron homeostasis on acute kidney injury and develop new strategies and therapies such as protease inhibitors on kidney function, as safety markers to monitor toxicity and as measures of treatment effect. Besides, we will focus on validation the sensitivity and specificity of sHJV on the clinical specimen of post-operative patients from NSARF data-bank. Merge the renal function and other types of biomarkers as panel to predict the post-operative outcome. Based on the different expression of these markers, using a panel of serum and urine markers may potentially help us to distinguish between various types of insults, establish the duration and severity of injury, predict the clinical outcome and help to monitor response to treatment in AKI.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 4 Jan 2012. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact G H Young, Ph.D. (886-2-2312-3456 ext. 63638, r6623612@ms24.hinet.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

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 4 Jan 2012.
