Filter by:The purpose of this research is to study the efficacy of ultrasound microvessel imaging for evaluation of Chronic Kidney Disease. Definity is an ultrasound contrast agent currently approved by the FDA for use on the heart, liver, and urinary tract. This study will look at its effectiveness on the kidney.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the following questions in the patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis with elevated blood phosphorus: - How much effect AP-306 has assessed by blood phosphorus lowering; - How safe and tolerable AP-306 is. Participants will receive either following treatments: - AP-306, and - Sevelamer carbonate.
This is a randomized pilot study to test the feasibility and acceptability of a tool to promote discussion about conservative kidney management (CKM) among older patients with advanced CKD and their providers.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of gabapentin with loratadine in reducing the severity of uremic pruritus in patients of chronic kidney disease and to compare the side effects of both drugs. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which drug (gabapentin versus loratadine) is more effective in reducing the severity of uremic pruritus? - Which drug (gabapentin versus loratadine) has fewer side effects? Participants were divided into two groups.Group A received loratadine 10mg daily and group B received gabapentin 100mg daily. Both groups were given treatment for 4 weeks. - Participants were asked to grade the severity of pruritus on a numerical rating scale and also answer the Dermatology Life Quality Index Questionnaire (DLQI) - Participants were also asked to report any side effects, if occurred. Researchers compared both groups with regards to improvement in pruritus severity, DLQI score and side effects.
This study will seek consent from parents of children enrolled in the Malaria FEVER study to obtain neuroimaging and 12-month neuropsychiatric outcomes data and kidney function on their child. The imaging and evaluations for this observational study will occur after the child has recovered from the acute malaria infection and has otherwise completed the RCT intervention and safety evaluations.
This Phase 1b study of DISC-0974 will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of DISC-0974 in adult participants with Non-Dialysis Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease and Anemia.
The goal of this observational study is to compare hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. The main questions it mains to answer are: - What is the level of physical activity in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? - What is the level of quality of life of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? - Is there any relation between inactivity and quality of life in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? Participants will answer 2 questionnaires and will do some functional tests.
POT-GFR-PK is a single dose pharmacokinetic study oral tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) in healthy adult controls and individuals with chronic kidney disease including those treated with in-center hemodialysis.
It is a randomized controlled trial in which 100 non diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient is being participated. Their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 25-75 ml/min/1.73 m2. Participants will be randomized into two groups: - Study group: includes 50 patients, they will receive Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) as add on drug, Dapagliflozin 10 mg will be used once daily with or without food. - Control group: includes 50 patients, they will receive placebo their medication. The investigators will follow up all patients for 12 months and compare their results. This study aims to: 1. Assess SGLT2i role in delaying the progression of ongoing chronic kidney disease. 2. Study the impact of SGLT2i on bone and mineral metabolism in this patients' population.
In this study, the investigators will utilize community organizations to screen Hispanics/Latino(a)s for kidney disease, diabetes, and other risk factors, and refer them for care with a PCP. Additionally, the investigators will implement an intervention in local health clinics to assist PCPs with screening and treating patients with diabetes. Completion of the project will hopefully slow progression of kidney disease among Hispanic/Latino(a) patients in Durham, and the information gained will allow the investigators to eventually perform the intervention on a larger scale.
