About this study

Official title: Renal Resistive Index and Myocardial Performance Index for Early Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury After Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is an extensive operation with various factors contributing to the development of acute kidney injury in the perioperative period. Early diagnosis of AKI can improve clinical outcomes in LT recipients. Renal resistive index is measured in renal arteries and high resistive values are associated with more adverse cardiovascular events and renal failure progression. Myocardial performance index reflects overall cardiac function rather than systolic or diastolic function alone.

Aim of the study: to investigate whether combined doppler renal resistive index and myocardial performance index could predict early postoperative acute kidney injury in living donor liver transplant recipients.

Study design: a prospective observational study that will be conducted at Liver Transplantation Unit at Mansoura University on 105 consecutive living donor liver transplant recipients.

Methods: Renal resistive index (assessed by transabdominal ultrasound) and myocardial performance index (assessed by transthoracic echocardiography) will be measured just before operation, on termination of operation and then daily in the intensive care unit for 7 days. Patients will be observed for development of acute kidney injury.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to investigate whether combined doppler renal resistive index (RRI) assessed by transabdominal sonography and myocardial performance index (MPI) assessed by transthoracic echocardiography could predict early postoperative acute kidney injury in living donor liver transplant recipients.

The primary outcome is the predictive value of renal resistive index and myocardial performance index for the onset of early post living donor liver transplant acute kidney injury.

This prospective observational study will be conducted at Liver Transplantation Unit at Mansoura University from November 2022 till fulfillment of sample size after obtaining approval from Institutional Review Board (IRB). One hundred and five consecutive LDLT recipients will participate in this study after obtaining informed consents. They will be observed for the development of early postoperative acute kidney injury.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • renal resistive index and myocardial performance indexDiagnostic test

    Also called echocardiography, ultrasonography

    Transthoracic echocardiography and transabdominal ultrasonography will be performed before induction of anesthesia, after termination of operation and before transmission to ICU and then daily for the early seven postoperative days.

    RRI = (peak systolic velocity - end diastolic velocity) ∕ peak systolic velocity: Then, we will obtain the mean RRI from the above three measurements.

    We will consider RRI ≥0.7 as abnormal and define it as subclinical AKI.

    Myocardial performance index (using tissue doppler) =

    (isovolumetric contraction time + isovolumetric relaxation time) / ejection time. We will consider MPI ≥0.4 as abnormal and define it as subclinical LV dysfunction.

What is being measured

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

  1. early acute kidney injury (AKI)

    international Club of Ascites' revised classification of AKI in cirrhotic patients as a 0.3 mg/kg increase in serum creatinine

    Measured: in the early 48 postoperative hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. stage of AKI

    Stage (1): serum creatinine increase 1.5- 1.9 times base line; or serum creatinine increase more than 0.3mg/dl. Stage (2): serum creat. Increase 2-2.9 times baseline. Stage (3): serum creat. Increase 3 times baseline ; or s.creat increase to 4mg/dl; or initiation of renal replacement therapy.

    Measured: in the early 48 postoperative hours

  2. late AKI

    International Club of Ascites' revised classification of AKI in cirrhotic patients as a 0.3 mg/kg increase in serum creatinine or >= 50% increase in the basal serum creatinine

    Measured: within 7 days

  3. length of ICU stay

    duration of ICU stay (days) in survived patients

    Measured: 3 months after transplant

  4. length of hospital stay

    duration of ICU stay (days) in survived patients

    Measured: 3 months after transplant

  5. three-month mortality

    all-cause mortality

    Measured: 3 months after transplantation

  6. delayed renal function

    serum creatinine

    Measured: 3 months after transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Kidney Injury and Acute Renal Injury, run by Mansoura 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2022. 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 Ahmed Ali El-din, MSc (1288045390 ext. +20, ahmedalieldin2000@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

early acute kidney injury (AKI) (time frame: in the early 48 postoperative hours). 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 27 Dec 2022.
