Effect of Renal Denervation on Bood Pressure in Patients on Hemodialysis

Effect of Renal Denervation on Blood Pressure in Patients With Treatment Resistant Hypertension, End-stage Chronic Kidney Disease and Hemodialysis


Sponsor

University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Medical School

Enrollment

12 participants

Start Date

Mar 4, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The RDN-HD Study is a prospective, single-center feasibility study. All patients included will undergo endovascular ultrasound-based RDN (no sham group, no blinding). The purpose of the RDN-HD Study is to demonstrate that ultrasound-based RDN is safe in patients with TRH and ESRD hemodialysis and reduces 24-h ambulatory BP.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 99 Years

Inclusion Criteria5

  • Uncontrolled treatment resistant hypertension (despite intake of 3 different classes of antihypertensive medications) confirmed by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure according to current guidelines (ESH 2023) (office blood pressure ≥ 140/ and/ or ≥ 90 mmHg and ambulatory blood pressure ≥ 130/ and/or ≥ 80 mmHg
  • end-stage renal disease on chronic hemodialysis
  • Stable hemodialysis regime for at least 3 months based on the decision of the treating physician
  • Patient is adhering to a stable drug regimen without changes for a minimum of 4 weeks.
  • Individual is ≥ 18 years of age, male and female patients are included.

Exclusion Criteria11

  • Episodes of sustained systolic and/or diastolic hypotension according to 24-h ambulatory blood pressure or dialysis protocols which in the eyes of the treating physician would interfere with a safe renal denervation treatment of the patient
  • Known hemodynamically or anatomically significant renal artery abnormality or stenosis in either renal artery which in the eyes of the interventionalist would interfere with safe catheter placement
  • Prior renal denervation procedure
  • Anatomic or functional solitary kidney, kidney transplantation
  • Severe atherosclerotic disease or artery calcification preventing the assessment of reliable BP measurements
  • Endocrine hypertension other than obstructive sleep apnea
  • Individual has experienced a myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, or a cerebrovascular accident within 3 months of the screening visit
  • Acute episode of systemic and renal disease requiring uptitration of any immunosuppressive drug regimen within the last 3 months
  • Subject is pregnant, nursing, or intends to become pregnant
  • Enrollment in another interventional research protocol.
  • Any condition that, at the discretion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study (e.g. non-adherence)
