Filter by:The purpose of this trial is to determine if sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) is an effective treatment of mild hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease patients followed at a pre-dialysis or nephrology outpatient clinic. Subjects will be randomized to one of two treatment arms: 30 g of placebo or SPS to be taken orally once daily for seven days. The change in serum potassium levels will be compared in both treatment groups. The proportion of subjects attaining normokalemia (3.5 to 5.0 mmol/L) after seven days of treatment will also be compared. Finally, side effects will be reported for each treatment arm.
This study assessed the pharmacodynamic effects of patiromer on serum potassium in participants on hemodialysis.
To investigate the impact of reminders for serum potassium monitoring and of hyperkalemia alerts during potassium-increasing drug-drug-interactions.
It is hypothesized that SPS is more effective than placebo control (alternative hypothesis) in lowering i-STAT potassium levels in subjects with i-STAT potassium levels between 5.0 - 6.5 mmol/l versus no difference between SPS and placebo control (null hypothesis).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of patiromer (investigational drug) in the treatment of hyperkalemia (high serum potassium). The study also evaluated the effect of withdrawing patiromer treatment and assessed whether chronic treatment with patiromer prevented the recurrence of hyperkalemia. The safety of patiromer treatment was also evaluated.
Acute Phase: It is hypothesized that ZS (zirconium silicate) is more effective than placebo control (alternative hypothesis) in lowering S-K levels in subjects with S-K between 5.0 - 6.5 mmol/l versus no difference between ZS and placebo control (null hypothesis). Subacute Phase (randomized withdrawal): It is hypothesized that ZS once daily is more effective than placebo control (alternative hypotheses) in maintaining normokalemic levels (3.5 - 4.9 mmol/l) among subjects completing the Acute Phase versus no difference between each ZS dose and respective placebo controls (null hypotheses).
It is hypothesized that zirconium silicate is safe and well tolerated and more effective than placebo (alternative hypothesis) in lowering serum potassium levels in subjects with serum potassium between 5 - 6.0 mmol/l versus no difference between zirconium silicate and placebo (null hypothesis). It is hypothesized that zirconium silicate even up to the top dose of 10g three times a day is well tolerated.
This study determined the optimal starting dose of patiromer in treating hyperkalemia in participants with hypertension and diabetic nephropathy who were already receiving ACEI and/or ARB drugs, with or without spironolactone. This study also evaluated the efficacy and safety of patiromer and the long term use of patiromer.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is a correlation (link) between the level of potassium in blood samples drawn from a vein and those drawn from a heel stick in infants scheduled for elective surgery.
In this study we want to show that the choice of a balanced type fluid solution for the perioperative fluid management of patients receiving cadaveric renal transplantation results in less occurrence of intra- and postoperative hyperkalemia, and thus the need for postoperative dialysis. Additionally, we aim to determine whether the use of a balanced infusion solution leads to less occurrence of metabolic acidosis and electrolyte disorders than the use of isotonic saline. Furthermore we want to evaluate whether perioperative fluid management with balanced infusion solutions results in a higher frequency of primary graft function than with administration of isotonic saline. We will test the hypothesis that the use of "Elomel isoton"(Fresenius Kabi Austria GmbH) a balanced infusion solution will result in less occurrence of hyperkalemia and consequent post-transplant dialysis, less occurrence of metabolic acidosis, decreased incidence of electrolyte disorders and higher incidence of primary graft function when compared to isotonic saline for perioperative fluid management in patients receiving cadaveric renal transplantation.
