About this study

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by a series of metabolic and hemodynamic parameters such as hypertension (hypertension), abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, abnormal glucose metabolism and insulin resistance, resulting in increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and the risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metabolic syndrome is a common event after renal transplantation. The prevalence of MS increases post-transplant with weight gain. In renal transplant recipients, the SM is associated with CVD, diabetes after transplantation, worsening renal function and graft loss. Immunosuppressant medications have primary effect on the pathophysiology of MS. Several studies have evaluated the prevalence and impact of metabolic syndrome in renal transplant recipients as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and use of immunosuppressants. The objectives of this study are to determine whether the determination of the metabolic syndrome at 6 months predicts this same condition at 12 months, determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome at 12 months, to assess the prevalence of obesity and overweight in this population and to assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus after renal transplantation. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and did not meet the exclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the study, signing the Instrument of Consent (IC) and informed about the objectives and procedures of the study to be performed, with age between 18 and 60 years, both sexes, renal transplant recipients Renal Transplant Unit, Hospital das Clinicas, FMUSP living donor or deceased and use of immunosuppressive regimen consisting of tacrolimus, mycophenolate sodium and prednisone. Sampling will be conducted laboratory tests, filling out questionnaires on quality of life and anthropometric measures.

Read the detailed description

Metabolic syndrome ( MS) is characterized by the presence of a number of metabolic and hemodynamic disorders such as hypertension (HBP ) , abdominal obesity , dyslipidemia, abnormal glucose metabolism and insulin resistance , resulting in increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and the risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The concept of metabolic syndrome (MS ) was first described by Reaven in 1988 as a combination of obesity , dyslipidemia , hypertension and fasting hyperglycemia , insulin resistance and inflammation as common pathophysiological disorders in cardiovascular disease (CVD). But the first comprehensive definition of MS was established only in 1998 , the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , in order to facilitate research in this area and points as a key indicator of SM the presence of hyperglycemia and / or resistance to insulin associated with days or more metabolic abnormalities (hypertension, dyslipidemia , obesity, and microalbuminuria).

In the general population , the presence of MS is associated with increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus ( DM ) and cardiovascular disease . Some studies have associated the SM to the appearance of proteinuria and reduction in the value of the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ), suggesting an association SM with chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) .

Metabolic syndrome (MS) consists of complex disorder that involves assembly cardiovascular risk factors related to abdominal fat deposition and insulin resistance . MS is associated with cardiovascular disease , increasing overall mortality by about 1.5 times and cardiovascular mortality by about 2.5 times.

In 2001 , the National Cholesterol Education Program - Panel of the National Cholesterol Education Program ( NCEP - ATP III ), prepared another proposal. According to the NCEP ATP III, SM represents the combination of at least three components.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) and Renal Transplantation, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2015. 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 Brazil. 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?

To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in renal transplant patients. (time frame: 12 months). 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 16 Dec 2015.
