NCT03756402

Brief Summary

The assessment of renal functional reserve (RFR) has been proposed for the risk stratification of patients undergoing potentially nephrotoxic procedures. The investigators hypothesized that there is a correlation between IRRIV and RFR under normal conditions. For this purpose, externally validation of IRRIV test is performed in a validation cohort of healthy subjects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Externally validate IRRIV test

    A weight of 10% of the patient's body weight was applied on the abdomen. RRIs were recorded in a middle interlobular artery, every minute for 10 minutes during the echo-renal stress test. The lowest RRI reached was taken as reference (stress RRI). The IRRIV was defined as the percentage difference between baseline RRI and stress RRI.

    Change from baseline to 60 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Correlation between IRRIV test and RFR

    Change from baseline to 60 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Healthy Subjects

All subjects underwent protein loading test and IRRIV test on the same day. The renal resistive index (RRI) measurements were performed by one trained sonographer using a multi-frequency convex probe through a manual RRI calculations. The RRIs were measured on three interlobular arteries (superior, middle and inferior) in each kidney, and expressed as a mean value. RFR was measured using an oral protein loading test and was then defined as the difference between the highest CrCl obtained after the protein load and the baseline CrCl measured on rest conditions. Urinary creatinine and sCr were measured by the enzymatic method (IL testTM Instrumentation(R), Laboratory SpA, Milano, Italy) and by ILab650 (Instrumentation Laboratory, Werfen Group, Barcelona, Spain).

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Healthy subjects undergoing a protein loading and IRRIV test evaluation

You may qualify if:

  • Age more than 18 years old;
  • Baseline estimated GFR, calculated using the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation, greater than or equal to 60 ml/min/1.73 m2.

You may not qualify if:

  • Age less than 18 years old;
  • Comorbidities potentially affecting renal function (i.e. arterial hypertension, diabetes, vasculopathy, etc.;
  • Chronic administration of drugs able to modify renal blood flow and/or GFR (angiotensin converting enzyme-inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), calcium channel blockers, loop diuretics etc.);
  • Pregnancy;
  • Ultrasound evidence of morphological kidney abnormalities and/or renal artery stenosis;
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or contrast media in the 2 days before the tests.
