Biochemical Effects of Remote Ischemic Pre-Conditioning on Contrast-induced Acute Kidney Injury

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Contrast-induced Acute Kidney Injury
Interventions
Device: RIPC
Device: Sham-RIPC
Registration Number
NCT03236441
Lead Sponsor
Oladipupo Olafiranye, MD, MS
Brief Summary

This a prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized clinical trial to study the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on acute kidney injury, vascular and renal biomarkers in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina undergoing coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention.

Detailed Description

The BRICK study is a prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized clinical trial in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina undergoing coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention who are at high risk for acute kidney injury. The study will investigate the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning before cardiac catheterization on rate of acute kidney injury and novel biomarkers of renal injury/protection within 48hrs of coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients With Acute Kidney Injury24-48 hours post coronary angiography

acute kidney injury is defined as a relative increase in serum creatinine of ≥ 0.3mg/dl within 48 hours post catheterization compared with baseline creatinine before coronary angiography.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Product of Urinary (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2) X (Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Protein 7)0-48hrs

Novel renal biomarker. The product of urinary tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 is measured and reported as a single test in (ng/ml)2/1000 unit. Higher value in general indicates higher risk of acute kidney injury. The range is between 0.3 and 10.

Number of Patients With Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Event6 months post coronary angiography

Composite outcome including rehospitalization for myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, repeat revascularization, stroke, and cardiac death.

Number of Patients With Major Adverse Kidney Event6 months post coronary angiography.

Composite outcome including persistent renal impairment, use of renal replacement therapy, and all-cause death.

Cyclic Guanylate Monophosphate (cGMP) Level0-48 Hrs

Higher level of cyclic guanylate monophosphate is associated with greater vessel dilatation and blood flow. Cyclic GMP was measured in nanomolar (nM).
