The Role of Hepcidin as a Biomarker to Predict Successful Renal Transplantation

An observational study of End-stage Renal Disease, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

Trial summary

High hepcidin concentrations indicate that iron is blocked from secretion from the reservoir. Hepcidin may be useful in prediction functional iron utilization in renal failure patients. Hepcidin is also associated with chronic renal failure and residual renal function in dialysis patients. Read more about this study

About this study

High hepcidin concentrations indicate that iron is blocked from secretion from the reservoir. Hepcidin may be useful in prediction functional iron utilization in renal failure patients. Hepcidin is also associated with chronic renal failure and residual renal function in dialysis patients. Recent studies have shown that hepcidin is a potential marker of impaired renal function in a rat model of chronic nephropathy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between preoperative hepcidin levels and the incidence of success rate of kidney transplantation in patients with end-stage renal failure undergoing kidney transplantation surgery. The study is a prospective single-group observational study that analyzes hepcidin as a biomarker.

Read the detailed description

POD-1 : Researchers will meet patients scheduled for surgery and explain the study. (enroll) the operation date : The patient will sign the consent form. Researchers will collect the blood sample from the patient for testing hepcidin during the operation and record laboratory data performed before surgery POD 1: laboratory test discharge date : laboratory test 6 months after surgery ; Researchers will determine the graft failure of the patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. acute kidney injury

    AKIN Criteria have only three stages of AKI (Stages I-III) which generally correspond to RIFLE stages R, I, and F. The AKIN group claims an advantage over the RIFLE criteria in that it has a lower threshold for defining an individual as Stage I AKI (only 0.3 mg/dL increase OR a 1.5X increase over baseline is required to meet this definition in AKIN; in RIFLE one requires a 1.5X increase over baseline. Both definitions can also be met by urine output criteria as well.)

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. numbers of participants with abnormal laboratory values

    Laboratory test(reticulocyte count, Hb, plasma hepcidin, iron profiles (serum iron, serum ferritin, total iron-binding capacity, transferrin, transferrin saturation), coagulation profiles (PT, PTT), and chemical profiles (aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransaminase (ALT), serum creatinine, electrolytes, C-reactive protein (CRP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR)), ESR, cystatin C, NGAL, pro BNP, troponin T), routine urinary analysis

    Measured: 1) 1 month before the surgery, 2) Postoperative day(POD) 1, 3) 2 weeks after the surgery

  2. the number of participants with wound infection

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

  3. major adverse cardiac event

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

  4. the number of participants who hospitalize again

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

  5. mortality

    Measured: 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of End-stage Renal Disease, run by Yonsei University 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 5 Oct 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bon-Nyeo Koo, PhD (82-2-2228-2422, koobn@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

acute kidney injury (time frame: 6 months). 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 5 Oct 2020.
