简要总结
Researchers are evaluating a noninvasive treatment with ultrasound waves for Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis (ARAS).
详细描述
Investigators will study 30 patients with ARAS randomized to SWT or sham (n=15 each) twice a week over 3 weeks. We will measure before and again 3 months after a 3-wk regimen renal cortical and medullary perfusion and function (multi-detector computed tomography [MDCT]), oxygenation, and fibrosis (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]), urinary and plasma levels of renal injury markers, systemic endothelial function, and heart rate variability, an index of sympathetic activation.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in renal fibrosis assessed by MRI
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months
Renal fibrosis as determined by Magnetization transfer imaging (MTI)-MRI in vivo.
Change in kidney perfusion assessed by computed tomography
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months
Single-kidney perfusion and GFR assessed by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT)
Change in blood oxygen in kidney assessed by MRI
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months
Cortical and medullary oxygenation assessed by Blood oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD)-MRI
Change in renal function assessed by GFR
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months
Renal function by eGFR calculated by both the modified modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula, and measured GFR (mGFR) by iothalamate clearance
Change in labs collected from right and left renal veins and/or Inferior Vena Cava
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months
Serum creatinine, plasma renin activity (PRA), aldosterone, cytokines and circulating endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) in blood collected from the left and right renal veins and the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC).
Change in urinary levels of biomarkers and extracellular vehicles
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months
Urinary biomarkers albumin, renal injury markers: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecular (KIM)-1, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)\], as well as urinary levels of extracellular vehicles (EVs) (measured by flow cytometry) originating from renal microvessels.
Change in mean arterial pressure assessed by oscillometry
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months
systolic and diastolic BP will be measured by oscillometry to calculate MAP, and assessment of sympathetic nervous system activation by heart rate variability (HRV).
Change in peripheral microvascular endothelial function assessed in the fingertip
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months
Peripheral microvascular endothelial function by peripheral arterial tonometry (EndoPAT).
