Predictive Value of PIIINP and Urinary NGAL in Renal Function Recovery

France287 participantsStarted 2012-04

Plain-language summary

Acute Renal Failure (ARF) is defined by a severe, and usually reversible, glomerular filtration rate decreasing. Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN) remain the major cause of ARF involving distress and destruction of tubular cells. This specific typology of ARF may evolve toward Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) concretizing a major public health issue. Predict the progression of ARF towards CRF appears essential. The investigators believe that the PIIINP and urinary NGAL biomarkers may constitute robust biomarkers of progression risk towards CRF.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * off-age patient. * ATN diagnosis based on 1) typical clinical environment (sepsis, nephrotoxicity...) 2) 50% decrease of glomerular filtration flow (according clearance MDRD) or more than 100micromol plasmatic creatinine increase. 3) no renal function improvement after efficient vascular filling (\>750cc normal saline or equivalent). * Consent. Exclusion Criteria: * ARF not related with ATN context. * Life expectancy less than 3 months. * Protocol refusal

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

PIIINP/Urinary Creatinine ratio levels between patients experimenting CRF or not.

Timeframe: 12months after initial diagnosis.
