Trial summary

Although the traditional determinant of renal dysfunction in heart failure was suggested as decreased cardiac output and renal hypo perfusion, recent studies have demonstrated the association of persistent systemic venous congestion and kidney dysfunction. Read more about this study

About this study

Although the traditional determinant of renal dysfunction in heart failure was suggested as decreased cardiac output and renal hypo perfusion, recent studies have demonstrated the association of persistent systemic venous congestion and kidney dysfunction. Relief of the congestion has demonstrated to improve renal functions in decompensated heart failure. The current trial was set up to investigate the changes of renal venous impedance and renal arteriolar resistivity indices with diuretic therapy, in patients with congestive renal failure. The investigators asked whether measurement of renal venous impedance index or renal arteriolar resistivity index can guide the practice of diuretic therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intravenous furosemide in people with Cardiorenal Syndrome, run by Ankara 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 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 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?

Alterations in the renal arterial resistivity index (time frame: during hospitalization, an expected average of 4 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 23 Jun 2015.
