About this study

Official title: Frequency and Risk Factors of Congestive Heart Failure in Dialysis Patients Attending Assiut University Hosptial

This study aims :

To assess the frequency of heart failure in patients with end-stage renal disease on regular dialysis.

To identify the risk factors of heart failure in patients with end-stage renal disease.

To assess the impact of duration of dialysis on heart failure and its prognosis

Read the detailed description

Heart Failure is defined as a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill or eject blood with diagnosis relying on clinical examination and associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a cardiovascular complication in which the heart becomes unable to supply a sufficient amount of blood to meet the metabolic requirements and fulfill the body's oxygen demand.

CHF is an independent risk factor for early mortality in ESRD patients. More than half of all deaths among ESRD patients are due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular changes secondary to renal dysfunction, including fluid overload, uremic cardiomyopathy, secondary hyperparathyroidism, anemia, altered lipid metabolism, and accumulation of gut microbiota-derived uremic toxins like trimethylamine N-oxidase (TMAO), contribute to the high risk for CVD in the ESRD population. Also, conventional hemodialysis (HD) itself poses myocardial stress and injury to the already compromised cardiovascular system in uremic patients.

The characteristics of cardiovascular dysfunction observed in dialysis patients are distinct from those noted in the general population. Although traditional cardiovascular risk factors in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are highly prevalent, they play only a partial role in the excessive cardiovascular morbidity and mortality of this population. The paradoxical association between several traditional risk factors, such as body mass index, blood pressure (BP) and serum cholesterol, and mortality have been previously reported.

In the ESRD population, Hemodialysis (HD) contributes itself to the development of CHF with sustained fluid overload a major cause of hypertension, heart failure, and mortality in patients with ESRD. We postulate that repeated myocardial micro-injury during maintenance hemodialysis may lead to irreversible cardiac dysfunction and subsequent heart failure and death in some patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. risk factors of CHF in hemodialysis patients

    identification of risk factors using demographic and disease characteristics of the patient as age, gender, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, dialysis access, frequency and duration of HD

    Measured: July 2020 to July 2021

  2. incidence of CHF in hemodialysis patients

    identification of CHF in ESRD patients using echocardiography

    Measured: July 2020 to July 2021

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. impact of duration of dialysis on heart failure

    determine the extent of CHF in relation to duration of dialysis

    Measured: July 2020 to July 2021

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congestive Heart Failure, 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2020. 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 Esraa Galal (0201094424433, esraagalal.eg@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

risk factors of CHF in hemodialysis patients (time frame: July 2020 to July 2021). 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?
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 22 Jun 2020.
