Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 89 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects ages 18-89 years with AKI (creatinine of 1.7mg/100ml or higher for less than 24 hours from baseline creatinine ≤1.2 or with unknown baseline creatinine). Standard of care treatment will not be different for patients taking part in this study. Participants will have bedside ultrasounds on days 0, 1, and 3, and baseline and follow-up data will be collected from medical records.

Who may be able to join

  • Creatinine of 1.7 mg/100ml or higher for less than 24 hours from baseline creatinine ≤1.2 or with unknown baseline creatinine
  • Age range: 18-89 years
  • Age range ≥ 18

Who cannot join

  • 1. Only chronic renal disease will exclude a patient from our study regardless of past medical history and medications they are taking. (For the purposes of this study, any patient with creatinine higher than 1.2 mg /100ml for more than 24 hours will be identified as having chronic renal disease.)

About this study

Official title: Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index in Patients With Acute Kidney Injury

This is an observational study that will examine the possibility of determining the type of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) using bedside ultrasound machines.

Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that different types of AKI (pre-renal, renal, and post-renal) are associated with different inferior vena cava diameters and collapsibility index. The investigators will include subjects ages 18-89 years with AKI (creatinine of 2mg/100ml or higher for less than 24 hours from baseline creatinine ≤1.2 or with unknown baseline creatinine). Standard of care treatment will not be different for patients taking part in this study. Participants will have bedside ultrasounds on days 0, 1, and 3, and baseline and follow-up data will be collected from medical records.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum and Minimum Diameters of the Inferior Vena Cava in Patients With Acute Kidney Injury

    The investigators will measure the maximum and minimum diameters of the inferior vena cava with patients with acute kidney injury.

    Measured: Day 1 of ICU admission

  2. Percent Collapse of the Inferior Vena Cava in Patients With Acute Kidney Injury

    The investigators will measure the maximum and minimum diameters of the inferior vena cava with patients with acute kidney injury and calculate the percent change between the maximum and minimum diameters.

    Measured: Day 1 of ICU admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at 1 site in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Jun 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum and Minimum Diameters of the Inferior Vena Cava in Patients With Acute Kidney Injury (time frame: Day 1 of ICU admission). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Jun 2016.
