Biomarkers of Acute Organ Injury in Pediatric Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes 45 Biomarker-Driven Pediatric Observational

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07483879 is an observational study for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetic Ketoacidosis that is recruiting. It started on 13 June 2025 with plans to enroll 45 participants. Led by Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki, it is expected to complete by 1 March 2030. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 19 March 2026.
Brief Summary
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a severe metabolic complication in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and may be associated with early injury of vital organs such as the kidneys and the heart. Early detection of organ dysfunction is important for identifying children at increased risk for complications.

This observational cross-sectional study aims to evaluate biomarkers of acute organ inju...

Detailed Description
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common and potentially life-threatening metabolic complication in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). In addition to the acute metabolic disturbances, DKA may lead to early or subclinical injury of vital organs, particularly the kidneys and the cardiovascular system, due to dehydration, hypovolemia, metabolic acidosis, electrolyte disturbances, and inflammat...Show More
