Filter by:The goal of this Prospective Observational Study of comparative effectiveness is to provide real world evidence of the effect of Etelcalcetide in increasing actives form VKDPs levels such as BGP and MGP at 3, 9 and 18 months from baseline, with resulting correct bone mineralization and inhibition vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients. The study will enroll 160 hemodialysis patients: 80 patients treated with Etelcalcetide and 80 age and sex matched patients treated with Calcitriol or vitamin D analogs. The treating nephrologist will base the target dose of Etelcalcetide on individual-level in order to achieve the KDIGO PTH target. In the Etelcalcetide-treated group, the addition of calcitriol will be allowed when required by clinical practice (for correction of hypocalcemia). The main endpoint is the comparison of the levels of active forms of VKDP (MGP and BGP) between patients treated with Etelcalcetide and those treated with vitamin D or vitamin D analogues. The measurements of the biomarkers are scheduled at baseline and after 3, 9, and 18 months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to Improve the quality of life in Hemodialysis patient. The main questions it aims to answer are: - [Improve the self-compliance of dialysis patients with weight management] - [alleviate the volume load of dialysis patients and reduce cardiovascular complications] Participants will be divided into two groups based on a weight management regimen： Control group: received routine outpatient management. Specific methods: The dialysis doctor registered the information of the patient's weight and blood pressure at the end of dialysis, and informed the patient of the purpose, role and importance of weight management. Intervention group: On the basis of routine outpatient management, patients or their family members were subjected to remote follow-up management based on wechat, and the follow-up time was 6 months. Specific methods: Same as the control group, the information of weight and blood pressure of the patients was registered at the end of dialysis, and the purpose, role and importance of weight management were informed to the patients. On this basis, a special wechat signal is set up to add patients or patients' family members as wechat friends and establish a wechat interaction platform with patients. In the interdialysis period, remind patients to weigh themselves through wechat (the time of each weighing is fixed, preferably consistent with the time of weighing in the hemodialysis center), control the weight gain during the interdialysis period not to exceed 4.5% of dry weight, and inform patients again about the purpose, role and importance of weight management.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is common in chronic hemodialysis patients (HDC) with a prevalence of 30% according to the DOPPS study. The combination of PAD and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 is a risk factor for major amputation (24.5%) with a mortality rate of 55% at 2 years. Ischemia occurring during PAD is the result of impaired microcirculation, with insufficient blood flow to maintain tissue perfusion and viability. It is responsible for painful skin wounds whose healing is poor, with a significant risk of infection. In patients with chronic renal failure, it is linked to both: - local phenomena (atherosclerosis, calcification) - changes in blood viscosity (elevated hematocrit and inflammatory proteins, especially fibrinogen) - a neovascularization defect (uremic toxins, in particular indoxyl sulphate). If revascularization is not possible, amputation remains the only possible treatment to relieve pain and limit the risk of infection. Rheopheresis is an apheresis technique that allows the depletion of high molecular weight serum proteins. This would reduce blood viscosity and red blood cell (RBC) aggregation, thereby improving microvascular perfusion, with the aim of reducing pain, improving healing and limiting the risk of amputation. Several studies have investigated the efficacy of rheopheresis in PAD in HDC, but the level of evidence remains low.
The investigators hypothesized that combination of incremental hemodialysis and ketoanologues will better preserve residual kidney function and maintenance of nutritional status among the incident ESRD patients during the early initiation of chronic dialysis. This hypothesis has been a new concept of chronic hemodialysis initiation for End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single-dose of ANG-3777 in subjects with renal failure receiving maintenance hemodialysis.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of HEC53856 capsules on anemia in subjects with chronic kidney disease on dialysis.
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel group trial to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous dextrose 5% solution compare with normal saline (standard care) in wash back procedure during haemodialysis in patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF) with respect to systolic blood pressure control over 3 months period. The primary objective is to establish efficacy of 5% dextrose solution compared with normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride solution) with respect to systolic blood pressure control in subjects with end stage renal failure (ESRF) on regular hemodialysis. Secondary objectives include monitoring the change in body weight, thirst level and body fluid volume.
Malnutrition is seen frequently in hemodialysis units in most developing countries. Malnutrition increases morbidity and mortality in this population and its treatment improves patient survival and health status The purpose of this study is to compare two strategies to improve nutritional status in hemodialysis patients: renal-specific oral supplement (237 ml) versus egg albumin-based protein supplement (30 g) on a daily basis. This trial uses the Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) in addition to most used biochemical markers to determine nutritional status.
We wish to compare the effect of very clean water used for dialysis therapy (i.e ultrapure water) in comparison with the use of conventional water which are used in most dialysis units worldwide. To the best of our knowledge prospective data in that field is sparse.
The purpose of this study is to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of hemodialysis with unfractionated heparin compared to hemodialysis with Citrasate in Critically Ill Patients.
