Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The assessment of renal functional reserve (RFR) has been proposed for the risk stratification of patients undergoing potentially nephrotoxic procedures. The investigators hypothesized that there is a correlation between IRRIV and RFR under normal conditions. For this purpose, externally validation of IRRIV test is performed in a validation cohort of healthy subjects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Normal subjects display a significant capacity to increase in baseline GFR under physiological needs (e.g. pregnancy) or pathological states (e.g. solitary kidney). This capacity is known as renal functional reserve (RFR), and it is calculated as the difference between the measured maximum GFR achieved through a renal stress test and the baseline GFR measured in rest conditions.In clinical practice, the most common renal stress test is performed as a standardized protein loading test. In a pilot study, the investigators demonstrated a significant correlation between RFR and the intra-parenchymal renal resistive index variation (IRRIV) during an echo renal stress test in a cohort of healthy volunteers. IRRIV test has proven to be rapid, safe, bedside and easy to perform and it might represent a preliminary test in screening patients' RFR. For this purpose, externally validation of IRRIV test is performed in a validation cohort of healthy subjects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Healthy Subjects

All subjects underwent protein loading test and IRRIV test on the same day. The renal resistive index (RRI) measurements were performed by one trained sonographer using a multi-frequency convex probe through a manual RRI calculations. The RRIs were measured on three interlobular arteries (superior, middle and inferior) in each kidney, and expressed as a mean value. RFR was measured using an oral protein loading test and was then defined as the difference between the highest CrCl obtained after the protein load and the baseline CrCl measured on rest conditions. Urinary creatinine and sCr were measured by the enzymatic method (IL testTM Instrumentation(R), Laboratory SpA, Milano, Italy) and by ILab650 (Instrumentation Laboratory, Werfen Group, Barcelona, Spain).
