Condition(s) targeted: Acute Renal Failure

Intervention: beta erythropoietin (Drug); placebo (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Enrolling by invitation

Sponsored by: Thammasat University

Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of erythropoietin for prevention acute kidney injury in CKD patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Clinical Details

Official title: Efficacy of Erythropoietin to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Primary outcome: The primary end-point of this study is the development of AKI in placebo group compared with EPO group.

Secondary outcome: The secondary end-point of this study is compare urine NGAL level in AKI patients between both groups

Detailed description: Acute kidney injury (AKI)occur 7. 7-42% after cardiac surgery. The incidence of AKI requiring renal replacement therapy following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery was 0. 7-3. 5% and increase mortality rate. Erythropoietin (EPO) is now considered a novel anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory action. The present study was designed to evaluate the administration of EPO as a means of preventing AKI in these patients.
