Filter by:The purpose of this 2-group, randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the refined SystemCHANGE™ against attention control patient education in CKD patients taking RAAS medications.
As Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progresses normophosphatemia is maintained by increasing the per nephron urinary phosphorus excretion. Clinically, hyperphosphatemia is associated with high mortality, vascular calcification, endothelial dysfunction and progression of left ventricular hypertrophy. Currently the treatment of hyperphosphatemia is first being initiated in stage 5 and consists of dietetic guidance to avoid dietary phosphate and treatment with oral phosphate binders. However, studies have shown important side effects to phosphate binders in terms of progression of vascular calcifications. Therefore, it might be beneficial to start the dietetic treatment with a reduction of dietary phosphate earlier in the disease stage. The aim of this project is to develop a New Nordic Renal Diet (NNRD) for CKD patients' stage 3-4 and to examine the long-term effects in a period of 26-weeks. NNRD has a high content of vegetable foods, less animal products and more local food items with a lesser content of phosphorus.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health concern. Currently 10-16% adults are affected with CKD. Adult individuals from low- and middle-income countries are at higher risk of developing CKD and End stage renal disease (ESRD). Preventive and risk reduction measures have potentials to reduce the disease progression; however, population in general from developing countries are yet to be properly aware about all these strategies that may help reduction in progression of CKD. Knowledge gap: Specific studies are grossly lacking about CKD prevalence, its associated factors, and the knowledge and awareness about preventive and risk reduction strategies among adults with CKD in rural and peri-urban Bangladesh. Moreover, knowledge gaps still exist about the role of Protein Energy Wasting (PEW), physical activities, medication adherence, dietary practice, salt restriction behaviours, etc. in influencing progression of CKD. Relevance: It has become essential to know more about the burden of CKD, its associated factors, current knowledge and awareness about healthy practices related to CKD and formulation of appropriate preventive and risk reduction strategies that will have potentials in reducing the progression of CKD in rural and peri-urban Bangladesh. The health education program for population in general and CKD individuals in particular will help in achieving meaningful results. Hypothesis:Health education about CKD and its preventive and risk reduction strategies will enhance the knowledge, awareness, and motivation for healthy practices among the residents of demographic surveillance system (DSS) area with CKD. Objectives: To implement and evaluate impact of a health education program in order to enhance knowledge, awareness, and motivation about healthy practices among rural adults suffering from CKD. Methods: A community based randomized controlled effectiveness trial (RCT) Study site: DSS area of Mirzapur sub-district under Tangail, Bangladesh. Outcome measures: Primary outcomes: Changes of scores of Australian CKD knowledge questionnaire Secondary outcomes: Awareness, Quality of life (QOL), and healthy practices leading to maintenance of blood pressure, blood sugar and body weight within normal ranges by the adult CKD individuals.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of paricalcitol oral solution in pediatric participants of ages 0 to 9 years with SHPT associated with stage 5 CKD receiving Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) or Hemodialysis (HD). The 24-week study is divided into two 12-week dosing periods (Dosing Period 1 followed by Dosing Period 2).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate which clinical and laboratory factors are associated with major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis. The study will also establish a cardiovascular (CV) risk equation appropriate for this dialysis population.
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of atherothrombotic events. Clopidogrel is the most widely used platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, despite its benefits, many patients still experience recurrent atherothrombotic events. The proposed study will test the central hypothesis that in DM patients the presence of CKD reduces clopidogrel-mediated P2Y12 inhibitory effects through synergistic mechanisms, which include upregulation of the P2Y12 signaling pathway and impaired clopidogrel metabolism.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of lesinurad administered with an XOI versus a placebo plus an XOI in gout participants who have moderate renal impairment and who are not at target level of serum urate (sUA).
The study aims to recruit 156 (54 Acute Kidney Injury (AKI);102 non-AKI) patients undergoing Cardio pulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery, including those with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and multiple co-morbidities. Urine and blood samples collected pre-operatively and then 0, 3, 6 and 18 hours post-CPB will be stored at -80oC until batch analysed for NGAL using the Abbott and BioPorto assays. AKI - defined as a ≥50% rise in serum creatinine (SCr) over baseline, or the requirement for renal replacement therapy (RRT). SCr will be measured pre-operatively (baseline), then 12 hourly for the first 48 hrs post-CPB and thereafter 24 hourly for 5 days. Clinical data collected will include patient demographics, co-morbidities, drug history, pre-operative renal function, surgery details (type, length, CPB time etc.), length of Intensive treatment unit and hospital stay and post-operative complications. Data will then be analysed comparing the two NGAL tests to find out which is superior, whether it is better to use blood or urine and to define optimal NGAL cut-offs and sample timing for predicting AKI. Both the Abbott and BioPorto assays will subject to a laboratory method evaluation prior to the analysis of any patient specimens in order to verify that their performance is acceptable and meets the manufacturer's claims. This will involve measuring the standard parameters used to assess laboratory assay performance e.g. imprecision (reproducibility), linearity, recovery and method comparison etc.
This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study, in two sequential parts that evaluated the renal safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of LHW090 in patients with moderately impaired renal function.
The multicenter registry will collect clinical data from 1600 patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and chronic kidney disease (eGFR 15-49 mL/min per 1.73 m2). The overall objective of this registry is to assess chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and clinical outcomes with regard to anticoagulation strategies in NVAF patients with eGFR 15-49 mL/min per 1.73 m2 in routine clinical practice.
