Trial summary

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major risk factor for death in end stage renal diseases (ESRD). Approximately 80% of ESRD patients have some degrees of left ventricular abnormalities at initiation of dialysis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Association Between Mean Platelet Volume With Echocardiographic Indices and Carotid Intima Media Thickness in Children With End Stage Renal Disease.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major risk factor for death in end stage renal diseases (ESRD). Approximately 80% of ESRD patients have some degrees of left ventricular abnormalities at initiation of dialysis. Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) has been widely accepted as an useful marker to assess CVD in ESRD children. In addition, cardiac mechanics parameters are used to evaluate cardiac function more precisely. However, measuring CIMT and cardiac mechanics parameters are expensive and difficult to perform as a routine method. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a hematological index which shows the size of platelets. Uremic state causes inflammatory condition that affects MPV. Previous studies on people with normal renal function have shown that this parameter can also have association with CVD. However the data in children with ESRD is scarce. The aim of this study is to find a simple hematologic marker to use regularly in ESRD children finding patients at risk of CVD. Therefore, we will investigate the relationship between mean platelet volume and CIMT and cardiac mechanic parameters in children with ESRD.

What participants receive

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

  • ImagingDiagnostic test

    Imaging including Echocardiography for determining cardiac indices (ejection fraction, left ventricular mass index, strain rate, global longitudinal strain) and Doppler ultrasound for measuring carotid intima media thickness

  • Blood samplingOther

    Blood sampling will performed on all participants for measuring hematological parameters including MPV.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Carotid Intimal Media Thickness, run by Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

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 9 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 29 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?

MPV in patients and controls (time frame: 1 year after study beginning). The study lists 8 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 29 Nov 2018.
