About this study

Official title: Predictor of Renal Involvement in Rheumatoid Arthritis:Value of Renal Resistive Index

Evaluation of resistive index on the renal artery as early predictor factor of renal affection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Read the detailed description

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by synovial hyperplasia and inflammation, progressive joint destruction, and significant disability (1). It can occur at any age, but it predominantly affects women, with a peak onset between the ages of 40 and 60. RA etiology is not yet clear, Recent studies have shown that its mechanism is closely related to genetics, environment, and immune response. Genes such as MHC and HLA-DR4 are involved in the occurrence of RA. (2) Renal complications in RA can range from mild abnormalities in kidney function to more severe conditions, such as glomerulonephritis and renal amyloidosis. Understanding these renal complications is crucial for healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care for RA patients. (3.4) Vasculitis is an uncommon complication of RA (in approximately 2 to 5% of patients), males with RA are more likely (2 to 4 times more likely) than females with RA to develop RV. Rheumatoid vasculitis most often occur in people with at least 10 years of severe disease. Fortunately, recent reports have noted declines in the prevalence of RV ( 5.6). So The renal arterial resistive index (RI)which is a sonographic index of intrarenal arteries defined as (peak systolic velocity - end-diastolic velocity) / peak systolic velocity. The normal range is 0.50-0.70. Elevated values are associated with poorer prognosis in various renal disorders .

What participants receive

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

  • KDIGO criteria of 2010Diagnostic test

    They are guidelines for the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). They cover the classification of CKD stages based on glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria, criteria for diagnosing acute kidney injury, and recommendations for managing CKD-related complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluating predictive value of renal resistive index in detection of rheumatoid arthritis.

    Assesses the predictive utility of renal resistive index in detecting rheumatoid arthritis. Delve into the exploration of whether renal resistive index serves as a reliable marker, offering valuable insights into the potential diagnostic relevance for rheumatoid arthritis.

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Identify the risk factor for renal complication in RA patients

    Explore the factors contributing to renal complications in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with a focus on identifying key risk factors. Uncover insights that enhance our understanding of the complex relationship between RA and renal involvement, ultimately aiding in targeted prevention and management strategies.

    Measured: baseline

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2024. 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?

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?

Evaluating predictive value of renal resistive index in detection of rheumatoid arthritis. (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06227442, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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?
