Official title

CROCODILE Study: Control of Renal Oxygen Consumption, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Insulin Resistance

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex metabolic disorder with many pathophysiological disturbances including insulin resistance (IR) and mitochondrial dysfunction which are causally related to the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and which contribute to reduced life expectancy. Renal hypoxia, stemming from a potential metabolic mismatch between increased renal energy expenditure and impaired substrate utilization, is increasingly proposed as a unifying early pathway in the development of DKD. By examining the interplay between factors responsible for increased renal adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consumption and decreased ATP generation in young adults with and without T1D, this study hopes to identify novel therapeutic targets to impede the development of DKD in future trials. The investigators propose to address the specific aims in a cross-sectional study with 30 adults with T1D and 20 controls without a diagnosis of diabetes. For this protocol, participants will complete a one day study visit at Children's Hospital Colorado. Patients will undergo a Dual-energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan to assess body composition, renal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to quantify renal oxygenation and perfusion, and a Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scan to quantify renal O2 consumption. After the PET and MRI, participants will undergo a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to quantify insulin sensitivity. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) and Effective Renal Plasma Flow (ERPF) will be measured by iohexol and PAH clearances during the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. To further investigate the mechanisms of renal damage in T1D, two optional procedures are included in the study: 1) kidney biopsy procedure and 2) induction of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to assess morphometrics and genetic expression of renal tissue.
