About this study

Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Prolonged Neurosurgical Operations

Read the detailed description
  • Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a highly prevalent and prognostically important complication in various surgical settings. Patients who developed postoperative AKI is independently associated with markedly increased morbidity, mortality1-8 and higher economic burden1.
  • AKI was defined by an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) ≥ 0.3 mg/dl or by an increase in SCr ≥ 50% and/or by a decrease in urine output to 0.5 ml/kg/hour for 6 hours, in the first 48 hours after surgery.
  • Patients who developed AKI had a higher total ICU costs, prolonged length of hospital and ICU stay, and longer duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation.
  • AKI has been studied in different surgical procedures especially cardiac \& abdominal surgeries.
  • Kovacheva et al 2016 retrospective study included 1656 craniotomy patients from 1998 to 2011. The AKI used criteria was RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function and End-Stage Renal Failure), they reported an incidence of 9.9% of postoperative AKI9.
  • Deng et al 2017 also reported an incidence of AKI up to 13.5% in patients undergoing neurosurgical surgery within the first 7 days. It was associated with independent risk factors included intraoperative blood loss, postoperative reoperation, use of mannitol during operation, concentration of Cystatin-C; a biomarker protein detecting early kidney injury before creatinine changes and postoperative APACHE II score10.
  • As the number of neurosurgical procedures has been increased worldwide and in our department as well with new types of prolonged neurosurgery e.g. Skull - Base - Major cerebrovascular beside major cranial tumor excision. It becomes a necessary to re-evaluate the incidence, factors behind AKI and outcome in such prolonged surgery.
  • In 2002, The Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) was created with primary goal was to create a uniform, accepted definition of AKI; hence RIFLE criteria was born. RIFLE is an acronym of Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of Kidney Function \& End-Stage Kidney Failure.
  • In 2004, The Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) was formed. A report of the AKIN proposed the following criteria for AKI.
  • The AKIN criteria differ from the RIFLE criteria in several ways. The RIFLE criteria are defined as changes within 7 days, while the AKIN criteria suggest using 48 hours. The AKIN classification includes less severe injury in the criteria and AKIN also avoids using the glomerular filtration rate as a marker in AKI, as there is no dependable way to measure glomerular filtration rate and estimated glomerular filtration rate are unreliable in AKI.
  • Haase et al. 2009 in their comparative study between RIFLE and AKIN in cardiac surgery; found no difference between the AKI scores11.
Being tested
Cystatin-C

What participants receive

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

  • Cystatin-CDiagnostic test

    • Laboratory values will be obtained, including level of preoperative serum creatinine, complete blood count, coagulation profile and Cystatin-C (5 ml. venous sample).
    • Serum creatinine and hemoglobin will be measured after operation, and thereafter at least once a day as a part of routine clinical care. Postoperative serum Cystatin-C will measured only once.

What is being measured

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

  1. the occurrence of AKI

    BY using AKIN criteria.

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

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

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ali M Abdel-Salam, Master (+2 01008560550, alimelassal91@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the occurrence of AKI (time frame: 2 days). 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 NCT03486184, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Apr 2018.
