Fetuin A as a Predictor of Deterioration of Renal Function in Hypertonic Patients

Recruiting
Conditions
Arterial Hypertension
Interventions
Other: No intervention.
Registration Number
NCT05963126
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Ostrava
Brief Summary

Commonly used parameters (creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and urine albumin/creatinine ratio) for prediction of decline of renal function are sensitive for advanced kidney impairment. Modified human urine Fetuin A (urine Fetuin A) with specific modification in urine (Fetuin A) can earlier predict the progression of kidney disease in patients with diabetes. Studies evaluating urine Fetuin A in hypertonic patients are still lacking.

Detailed Description

Arterial hypertension and diabetes are the most common cause of chronic kidney disease. Commonly used parameters for the evaluation of renal function (plasma creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and urine albumin/creatinine ratio) are sensitive to advanced kidney disease. Parameters predicting early kidney impairment are still lacking. Modified human urine Fetuin A with specific modification in urine (urine Fetuin A) presents a new biomarker that seems to be promising in the early prediction of kidney disease in patients with diabetes without microalbuminuria. Studies evaluating urine Fetuin A in hypertonic patients are still lacking.

Decline of glomerular filtration rate in 1-year follow-up of each patient in a total of 3 visits at times: 0 months, 6 months, and 12 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Urine biomarker DNLite IVD103 - correlation1 year

Evaluation of the correlation of biomarker DNLite IVD103 in patients' plasma and in urine (yes/no).

Urine biomarker DNLite IVD103 - secondary aim1 year

Evaluation of urine biomarker DNLite IVD103 and its ability to predict deterioration of renal function defined in patients with manifested cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia (yes/no).

Urine biomarker DNLite IVD103 - primary aim1 year

Evaluation of urine biomarker DNLite IVD103 and its ability to predict deterioration of renal function defined as a decline of glomerular filtration rate in patients with arterial hypertension, resistant arterial hypertension, and secondary hypertension. Diabetic nephropathy in vitro diagnostics (DNLite IVD103) is a colorimetric immunoassay intended for quantitative measurement of unique Fetuin-A with specific post-translational modification in human urine.
