About this study

Introduction: Currently, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most serious public health problems, becoming a global epidemic. It is also known that the amount of displacement of overnight rostral fluid, from the lower limbs, is related to increased neck circumference and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with end-stage renal disease. Method / Design: A clinical trial study aiming to assess the degree of collapsibility of the upper airway in patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis has been proposed. The test of the negative expiratory pressure and nocturnal polysomnography will be performed before and after the hemodialysis session. Discussion: The incidence of CKD has increased, due to the increased number of cases of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Our hypothesis is that the weight gain due to volume overload, observed in the interdialytic period, will exert a negative influence on the degree of collapsibility of the upper airways predispose to OSA in CKD patients.

What participants receive

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

  • HemodialysisProcedure or surgery

    Daytime haemodialysis was standardised. It was performed 3 times per week, with a 4-h session duration, 250-mL/min blood flow, and 500-mL/min dialysate flow, using bicarbonate buffered dialysate with 1.25 mmol/L ionised calcium concentration, dialysate temperature of 36.5°C.

    The ultrafiltration amount for each haemodialysis session was decided by individual dry weight, which was fixed during the trial. In addition, the patients were not permitted to change their medication or start new drugs, especially antiplatelet agents, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, calcium-channel blockers, and β-blockers.

    The patients who required a change in medication for medical reasons were subsequently excluded from the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collapsibility of the upper airway.

    Degree of upper airway collapsibility through the negative expiratory pressure test in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis.

    Measured: 06 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Prevalence and severity of sleep disorders

    To assess the effects of dialysis on sleep parameters and determine the prevalence and severity of sleep disorders.

    Measured: 06 months

  2. Change in pulmonary function.

    Lung function tests will be performed during the day, with the patient seated in a comfortable position. For such, the KoKo PFT Spirometer System version 4.11 (nSpire Health, Inc, Louisville, CO, USA) will be used in accordance with the guidelines for the execution of lung function tests established by the Brazilian Society of Pneumology and European Respiratory Society.

    Measured: 06 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hemodialysis in people with Renal Insufficiency, Chronic, run by Centro Universitário de Anapolis 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 15 Jun 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Luis VF Oliveira, PhD (+55 62 999052309, oliveira.lvf@pq.cnpq.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Collapsibility of the upper airway. (time frame: 06 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 15 Jun 2018.
