Clinical Trial Summary

This is an observational study assessing coronary microvascular function in healthy controls with normal kidney function, living kidney donors, pre-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5 and patients on peritoneal dialysis.


Clinical Trial Description

The clinical syndrome of uraemic cardiomyopathy is prevalent in end stage renal disease and is associated with pathological cardiovascular changes including left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction and diffuse interstitial fibrosis. These combine to confer an elevated cardiovascular risk, including an increased risk of sudden cardiac death.

The cause of this increased cardiovascular risk is not clear but it is thought that coronary microvascular dysfunction may play a role. Coronary microvascular dysfunction is prevalent in many myocardial disease states, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, that share pathological similarities with uraemic cardiomyopathy.

Coronary flow reserve, a marker of coronary microvascular function, can be assessed non-invasively using echocardiography techniques. Previous studies have shown a reduction in coronary flow reserve in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, it is not clear if kidney donors - individuals who have a reduced kidney function but do not have progressive kidney disease - also demonstrate microvascular dysfunction. Similarly, although there is some evidence that patients on dialysis have improved coronary flow reserve compared to patients with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease stage 5, there has been limited investigation into the role of peritoneal dialysis on coronary flow reserve. ;
