Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years with diabetes and an eGFR of less than 60 ml/min who are scheduled for a PCI procedure.

Probably not a fit

Patients with cardiogenic shock, those on renal replacement therapy, or individuals unable to provide informed consent may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients with diabetes mellitus who are at risk of acute kidney injury during procedures involving contrast dye, such as percutaneous coronary interventions. The study aims to develop a biomarker panel that can predict the likelihood of contrast-induced nephropathy, which is a significant complication for these patients. By collecting serum and urine samples from participants, researchers will identify natural biomarkers that could enhance early detection and improve patient outcomes. The study will not involve any additional interventions beyond routine clinical care.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to safer diagnostic and treatment procedures for diabetic patients at risk of kidney injury.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored biomarkers for kidney injury in diabetic patients, but this specific approach to developing a biomarker panel is relatively novel.
