Trial summary

Simplified methods to estimate lean body mass (LBM), an important nutritional measure representing muscle mass and somatic protein, are lacking in non-dialyzed patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Objective: We developed and tested a reliable equations for estimation of LBM in daily clinical practice. Read more about this study

About this study

Simplified methods to estimate lean body mass (LBM), an important nutritional measure representing muscle mass and somatic protein, are lacking in non-dialyzed patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Objective: We developed and tested a reliable equations for estimation of LBM in daily clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

Two cross-sectional data sets were derived from outpatients with CKD stage 3-5 in Peking University First Hospital.Two equations for estimating LBM based on midarm muscle circumference (MAMC) or hand grip strength (HGS)were developed and validated in CKD patients with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as referenced gold method. Demographic data, comorbidity, and other clinical variables were also recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lean Body Mass and Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by Peking University First Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2019. 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 China. 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?

LBM_DEXA (time frame: between March 1st, 2014 and December 1st, 2015). 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 10 Sep 2019.
