Study summary

This study was designed to compare the efficacy of BIA and physician adjustment to prevent intradialytic hypotension in patients with acute kidney injury who received renal replacement therapy. The investigators randomized 9 patients with acute kidney injury and volume overloaded who underwent acute hemodialysis for 45 sessions in Vajira hospital between October 2017 and February 2018. In physician adjust-group (control) estimate by physical examination and fluid balance record. Primary outcome was intradialytic hypotensive episode and secondary outcome was hemodialysis-related adverse events and other clinical outcome.

Read the detailed description

Background

Volume overload and intradialytic hypotension are significant complications with increasing mortality rate in hemodialysis patients. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) has been used to estimate the optimum weight in chronic hemodialysis patient to prevent intradialytic hypotension.Volume assessment in acute kidney injury is also of great importance , however, there are currently few methods to obtain an accurate assessment of hydration status in this scenario. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of BIA and physician adjustment to prevent intradialytic hypotension in patients with acute kidney injury who received renal replacement therapy.

Methods

The investigators randomized 9 patients with acute kidney injury and volume overloaded who underwent acute hemodialysis for 45 sessions in Vajira hospital between October 2017 and February 2018. Volume overload was defined by BIA with value more than>0.4. In physician adjust-group (control) estimate by physical examination and fluid balance record. Primary outcome was intradialytic hypotensive episode and secondary outcome was hemodialysis-related adverse events and other clinical outcome.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Bioelectrical Impedance

    The first group will be monitored by Inbody S20 analysis to measure fluid status. The Bioimpedance will be measured each time prior to hemodialysis session . The value of BIA measurement of more than 0.4 will be considered as edema.

    Device: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

  • Active comparator
    Physicain-guided group

    The fluid monitoring will be managed by physician-adjustment by physical examination and fluid balance record . The fluid balance (FB) is the total fluid administered minus the total fluids eliminated over a period of time.

    Procedure: Physician-guided

Interventions

  • DeviceBioelectrical Impedance Analysis

    We use Inbody S20 analysis to measure fluid status before each hemodialysis session to guide fluid removal.

  • ProcedurePhysician-guided

    This intervention used physical examination as guided to adjust fluid therapy together with the chart record of intake and output per day

    Also known as: Fluid balance record

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in blood pressure during dialysis

    Blood pressure less than 20 mmHg from baseline ( systolic blood pressure)

    Time frame: During hemodialysis session start from enrollment until study completion, up to 4 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cardiac problem

    Number of patients that have palpitation,cardiac arrthymia or chest pain

    Time frame: Measure through study completion,for at least 3 months after randomization

  2. Hospital length of stay

    Total days in admission

    Time frame: Up to 3 months after enrollment

  3. Percent of renal function

    eGFR

    Time frame: at least 3 months after enrollment

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Oct 2017 to primary completion in Feb 2018, 4 months.

Of 1,032 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cardiovascular Diseases, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48. This study's 4 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,148 studies reached it within 26 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 49.

Cardiovascular Diseases covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 16, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
