About this study

Official title: Effects of Preoperative High Oral Protein Load on Short- and Long-term Renal Outcomes Following Cardiac Surgery - a Matched Case-control Study

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in approximately one-third of patients undergoing cardiac surgery (CS), and represents one of the most significant negative predictors of patient outcome in this population. In the healthy adult, a high protein meal is known to enhance glomerular filtration rate and is mediated by an increase in renal blood flow. The investigators hypothesized that preoperative oral protein load may precondition the kidneys for upcoming insults and reduce the rate of postoperative AKI and long-term renal outcome.

Read the detailed description

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in approximately one-third of patients undergoing cardiac surgery (CS), and represents one of the most significant negative predictors of patient outcome in this population. To date, there is no therapy to prevent AKI. In the healthy adult, a high protein meal is known to enhance glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and is mediated by an increase in renal blood flow. The investigators hypothesized that preoperative oral protein load may induce an adaptive response of the kidneys, and precondition the kidneys for upcoming insults. In the present study, the investigators aimed to compare the prevalence and severity of AKI in patients undergoing oral high protein load of the 'Preoperative Renal Functional Reserve Predict Risk of AKI after Cardiac Operation' study to age- and gender-matched "controls" who had a standard preoperative care the day prior to surgery within the same period (November 2014-October 2015) at San Bortolo Hospital, Vicenza, Italy. Both groups were followed 1 year post-discharge to evaluate long-term renal outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of AKI after cardiac surgery

    using full Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Long-term change in estimated GFR

    using CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine formula

    Measured: 3 months and 1 year after cardiac surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury, run by University of Giessen.

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 19 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 20 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Occurrence of AKI after cardiac surgery (time frame: 7 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03102541, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 20 Nov 2018.
