Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of nephrectomy on cardiovascular risk factors and vascular function, with emphasis on early markers of vasuclar disease including endothelial dysfunction, oxidative
stress and inflammation. Specifically, we will scrutinize the following features of early vascular disease:
Inflammation: hsC-reactive protein, Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
Endothelial dysfunction: Brachial Artery Reactivity
Smooth muscle dysfunction: Pulse Wave Velocity
Oxidative stress:Plasma, urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin 2 and oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL)
Vascular structure: Carotid intima-media thickness
We will also collect data relevant to features of metabolic syndrome including triglyceride, High Density Lipoprotein, waist-hip ratio and fasting glucose, to determine the association between renal and cardiac function and traditional cardiovascular risk factors. All patients will be reviewed in outpatient clinic every 12 months for a total of 5 years. Data on vascular imaging studies will be collected at baseline and annually. Glomerular filtration rate will be estimated at baseline and annually using 24 hour urine collection, Modification of renal diet (MDRD) and 51Cr-Chromium-51 Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic acid (EDTA) nuclear scan. 24 hour urine collection will be used to measure urinary protein and albumin excretion. All cardiovascular events, admissions, biochemical and clinical data will be recorded at specific annually at time of follow up.
