About this study

Official title: Association of Intraoperative Renal Regional Oxygen Saturation and Acute Kidney Injury After Living Donor Liver Transplantation

This study is a prospective observational study of a single cohort of the patients who will undergo a scheduled living donor liver transplantation.

The investigators attempt to evaluate the association of intraoperative renal regional oxygen saturation and acute kidney injury in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation. Near-infrared spectroscopy sensor will be attached to the skin near bilateral kidney areas in all patients and renal regional oxygen saturation will be monitored during the operation. Renal regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) of the patients who developed acute kidney injury postoperatively will be compared with rSO2 of the patients who did not.

Read the detailed description

Acute kidney injury is a frequent complication after liver transplantation, which is related to poor prognosis and longer hospital stay. There is no sensitive or specific marker for predicting postoperative acute kidney injury, although studies of the biomarkers have shown promising results.

Near-infrared spectroscopy is a non-invasive and real-time monitoring device for regional oxygen saturation measurement. Previous studies revealed that it could be applied to the skin near the kidney and be used to monitor renal regional oxygen saturation.

Therefore, in this study, the investigators will apply near-infrared spectroscopy around kidney area to measure real-time renal regional oxygen saturation during liver transplantation surgery and investigate the association between the intraoperative renal regional oxygen saturation and the development of post-transplant acute kidney injury.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute Kidney Injury

    Acute kidney injury defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria using postoperative serum creatinine

    Measured: Within 7 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Length of hospital stay

    Length of hospital stay

    Measured: Within 30 days after surgery

  2. Nadir oxygen delivery during the surgery

    Nadir oxygen delivery calculated by the cardiac output and arterial oxygen content

    Measured: Within average 8 hours after anesthesia induction during the transplantation surgery

  3. Area under the curve of oxygen delivery during the surgery

    Area under the curve of oxygen delivery calculated by the cardiac output and arterial oxygen content

    Measured: Within average 8 hours after anesthesia induction during the transplantation surgery

  4. Early allograft dysfunction

    Early allograft dysfunction diagnosed by one or more of the following variables: (1) bilirubin > 10 mg/dL on postoperative day 7; (2) prothrombin time: international normalized ratio > 1.6 on postoperative day 7; (3) aminotransferase level (alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase > 2000 IU/ml within the first 7 postoperative days.

    Measured: on the postoperative 7th day after liver transplantation

  5. In-hospital mortality

    In-hospital mortality

    Measured: Within 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Near-infrared spectroscopy in people with Liver Transplant; Complications and Renal Injury, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 21 Oct 2021. 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 South Korea. 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?

Acute Kidney Injury (time frame: Within 7 days after surgery). 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 21 Oct 2021.
