An observational study in Renal Insufficiency, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-12-01.
Sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes · Observational
The investigators hypothesize that the Systolic Foot-to-Apex Time Interval (SFATI) method will be accurate for measurement of systolic blood pressure with marked arterial stiffness as seen in patients with severe renal impairment. Also that the presence of arterial calcifications only changes the agreement between the SFATI method and the reference method (auscultatory method) if the calcifications are very severe.
1,995 studies on the registry are indexed under Renal Insufficiency; 173 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 90 is below the median of 149 across 394 observational studies indexed under Renal Insufficiency.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
The study population consists of patients with severe renal impairment (defined by a glomerular filtration rate \<30 mL / min, assessment within previous 3 months), stage 4 or stage 5.
Patients will be selected during consultations in the Nephrology department or during dialysis sessions at the University Hospital of Nîmes.
