Scientific title | Randomised, prospective double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of antioxidant therapy in preventing kidney damage caused by lithotripsy |
Study objectives | The initial treatment in most cases of urolithiasis is actually the application of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy. However, pressure waves cause damage to the renal parenchyma. The mechanism of tissue damage is not well known. The collapse of cavitation bubbles generated by the waves may be responsible of the cellular changes, facilitated by the formation of small collections after the rupture of microvessels. There are underlying hormonal vasoactive inflammatory phenomena. The final common mediator lies in oxidative imbalance, with increased lipid peroxidation and decrease of cellular antioxidant capacity. The aim of the trial is to assess if the association of a drug with a potent antioxidant effect, alpha lipoic acid (ALA), avoids or diminishes the renal injury caused by lithotripsy. Secondary objectives are: 1. Evaluate changes in markers of renal damage and function after application of the shockwaves. 2. Determine the status of parameters of oxidative stress markers and antioxidant defenses and any changes after treatment with lithotripsy. 3. Assess the state of vasoactive hormones involved in pathogenesis of renal injury associated with kidney stones, and the application of lithotripsy. 4. Analyze the impact of the administration of ALA in parameters of oxidative stress parameters, hormonal and renal damage. |
Ethics approval(s) | Trial approved by Local Reina Sofia Hospital Clinical Trials Committee on February 25th, 2009 (acta: 168; ref: 1483) |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Kidney stone disease treated by extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy |
Intervention | There are two arms, the treatment arm will receive alpha lipoic acid and the other one placebo. After being assigned by a randomisation program, obtained from the web page www.randomization.com, the patients included in the treatment arm will receive ALA (400 mg/day), those assigned to the placebo arm will receive a placebo of identical dosage and appearance. Both drug and placebo will be presented in oral pills, distributed in two jars, containing a week of pills in each. Patients will take one pill twice daily for a total of two weeks. The total duration of the follow-up period is two weeks. |

Kallikrein 2.9. Serum aldosterone (ng/dl) 2.10. Endothelin-1 (pg/ml) 2.11. Urine Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) 2.12. alpha Tumour Necrosis Factor (αTNF) 2.13. 1beta-Interleukin (IL) 2.14. 6-IL |
Secondary outcome measures | Determination of glomerular filtration: 1. Cockroft-Gault 2. Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) 3. Fractional excretion of sodium (mEq/l) 4. Corrected hyperglycemia Sodium (mEq/l) 5. Plasma osmolarity (mOsm/kg) 6. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) (mg/100 ml) 7. B2 microglobulin (microg/min) 8. Albumin (g/l) in urine 9. Adrenomedullin 10. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (units) 11. N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) (IU/l) 12. Alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) (IU/l) 13. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 14. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 15. Gammaglutamiltranspepsidasa (GGT) 16. Leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) 17. B-galactosidase |
