Key requirements

  • Ages 20 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study will include patients with hyperkalemia treated at outpatient clinics. Eligible patients will be screened through the regular visit to study sites in a consecutive manner. This study will be conducted in outpatient clinics in general hospitals. 150 hyperkalemia patients with CKD or HFrEF will be enrolled and assessed cross-sectionally. After the written informed consent, subjects will be asked to complete the questionnaire-based survey. Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QoL), compliance to treatment with potassium binders, and other factors including age, sex, height, weight, smoking status, alcohol use and socio-economic status will be collected through the designated questionnaires. Information on disease status and on treatment patterns will be collected from physicians, and the latest results of laboratory tests will be collected from medical records (within 6 months before enrolment).

Who may be able to join

  • Outpatients aged ≥20 years
  • Hyperkalemia patients defined as meeting either of the following criteria:
  • Having a history of S-K ≥5.1 mmol/L ≥2 times within 6 months before enrolment
  • Having a history of S-K ≥5.5 mmol/L once within 6 months before enrolment
  • Currently treated by potassium binders for the treatment of hyperkalemia at enrolment
  • Having been diagnosed as CKD (≥stage 3b) or HFrEF by investigators as defined below:
Show all 19Show fewer
  • CKD is diagnosed based on the guidelines of CKD issued by the Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN, 2018) as being either or both of condition 1 and 2 for ≥3 months
  • Clear sign of kidney impairment based on urinalysis, imaging, blood test, or biopsy. Especially, existence of ≥0.15 g/gCr of proteinuria (≥30 mg/gCr of albuminuria) is important.
  • GFR <45 mL/min/1.73m2 Within the routine clinical practice, GFR is estimated by serum creatinine, gender, and age using following the formulation.
  • eGFR creat (mL/min/1.73m2) = 194 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)-1.094 x age (years)-0.287 (for female patients, x 0.739)
  • ≥Stage 3b CKD is diagnosed based on the following eGFR categories:
  • Stage 3b: 30 mL/min/1.73m2 ≤ eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Stage 4: 15 mL/min/1.73m2 ≤ eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Stage 5: eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Patients with HFrEF is enrolled if patients meet following criteria within 6 months:
  • EF ≤40%
  • NYHA class II-IV
  • Provision of signed, written, and detailed informed consent
  • Signed written informed consent by themselves

Who cannot join

  • Currently on any chronic RRT (including hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis >30 days, or kidney transplant) within 6 months before enrolment
  • Patients with acute kidney injury at enrolment •Patients who took blood transfusion or potassium supplements within 6 months before enrolment
  • Active malignancy or life expectancy of less than 6 months.
  • Patients who have GI disturbance/chronic diarrhoea/stoma, and investigators determine those affect significantly serum K level
  • Patients who have autoimmune disorders, and investigators determine those affect significantly serum K level
  • Patients whose lab data have suspicion for pseudohyperkalemia
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Patients who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant
  • Current participation in interventional studies and/or clinical trials
  • Patients who, in the opinion of the investigators, would be unlikely to comply with self-assessments

About this study

Overall study aim of this study is to analyse descriptive statistics of Patient-Reported Outcome(PROs) which will be used in the Hyperkalemia(HK) registry study in hyperkalemia patients with Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) or Heart Failure(HF) to describe the practice patterns of hyperkalemia treatment in in clinical practice. Based on these assessments, this study will provide the information for the applicability of PRO measurements which will be used in the Hyperkalemia registry study to the study population, i.e. CKD and/or HF patients with hyperkalemia

What is being measured

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

  1. Analyse descriptive statistics of PROs

    The primary focus of this study is to analyse descriptive statistics of PROs which will be used in the Hyperkalemia registry. Information on demographics, medical history, treatment patterns, medication compliance, and self-reported questionnaire will be collected.

    Measured: 4weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperkalemia, run by AstraZeneca at 5 sites in Japan.

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 19 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 13 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Japan. 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?

Analyse descriptive statistics of PROs (time frame: 4weeks). 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 13 Sep 2021.
