Filter by:Maternal physiological adaptation to pregnancy plays an important role in the smooth progress of the pregnancy and the healthy growth of the fetus. This physiological adaptation takes place at the level of several organs, including the kidney. Physiological changes during a normal pregnancy take place at the anatomical, glomerular and tubular level. In the event of pre-existing kidney damage (glomerular and tubular diseases, stone disease, high blood pressure (hypertension) etc...) these adaptations will not be optimal. This will have implications for: - the course of the pregnancy with the occurrence of feto-maternal complications: miscarriages, pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), low birth weight, prematurity. The risk of feto-maternal complications increases with the degree of renal failure or with certain pathologies such as lupus. - progression of kidney disease Some maternal complications have long-term implications: preeclampsia is associated with a high risk of subsequent cardiovascular and renal complications. Pregnancies in these patients are high-risk pregnancies and require specialized management by an experienced group of gynecologists and nephrologists. The creation of a retrospective and prospective register by collecting demographic, clinical, biological, radiological and genetic data concerning patients at each consultation within the CHU Brugmann Hospital will allow: - to establish the epidemiological and clinico-biological characteristics of the patients followed at the Kidney and Pregnancy Clinic at the CHU Brugmann Hospital - to analyze the risk factors for feto-maternal complications - to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of subsequent cardio-renal pathologies in patients who have had preeclampsia or an event during their pregnancy - to identify patients who will need specialized genetic testing
We seek to explore the feasibility and acceptability of participation in a decision-support training program led by lay navigators. ImPart-Multi, an education-telehealth-based, is designed to empower Black chronic kidney disease patients (CKD) patients and their care partner to seek the resources and support needed to be activated allies when making health-related decisions. Participants, based on random assignment, will participate in survey completion at study start and at 12 and 24 weeks of enrollment, and will complete 1, 3, or 4 education sessions via telehealth or audio connection. Participants will also complete an interview to share their thoughts on the program and other factors of interest.
The aim of this study is to early detect kidney disease in the natural population cohort of children by urine and ultrasound screening, to assist in the precise prevention and treatment of children's kidney disease, and to establish a risk prediction system for children's kidney disease. About 10,000 children called KunQi Cohort are born in Jiangsu Province(8,000 in Kunshan and 2,000 in Qidong) and about 3,000 born in Shanghai. Through the project, child who is found with abnormal urine or ultrasound result will be referred to Children's Hospital of Fudan University to get further examination and treatment.
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are a diverse, rare but serious group of diseases. Progress has been made regarding the epidemiology of TMA (Bayer CJASN 2019). It has been shown that secondary TMAs account for 95% of cases, whereas primary TMAs (atypical hemolytic syndromes (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)) account for only about 5%. However, in many cases, the pathophysiology, optimal management and prognosis of TMA remains unclear and it has been shown that patients with TMA may have renal-limited TMA or renal and hematological TMA (ie. With (mechanical anemia, thrombocytopenia, elevated LDH, decreased haptoglobin, schistocytes). In most studies, kidney biopsies are not performed and the diagnostic workup is uncomplete. As this is a rare disease, only a multicenter approach (>20 centers) over a long period of time (>10 years), with adequate diagnostic workup including kidney biopsies can help us to answer these questions (investigators in the present are usually members of the CNR-MAT (a network of the TMA centers in France).
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about and test the effect of an acid/base diet, in chronic kidney patients with CKD stage 4 and 5 in an interventional study with a historical control. The hypothesize is, that an acid/base diet will reduce the degree of acidosis and the need for oral bicarbonate supplements.
Part I (bioequivalence) will evaluate the bioequivalence of the Oversea Manufactured Sample (used in the MediBeacon Phase 3 Study 100-103; NCT05425719) and Domestic Manufactured Sample in Single Intravenous Dose of MB-102 (Relmapirazin) in healthy Chinese adults. Part II (efficacy) will evaluate the performance of the MediBeacon Transdermal GFR Measurement System and Domestic Manufactured Sample of MB-102 (Relmapirazin) for Evaluation of Kidney Function in Chinese participants.
The goal of the Lead-in phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and determine recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of NKT2152 in combination with palbociclib (Doublet) and with palbociclib and sasanlimab (Triplet) in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who received prior therapy. The goal of the Expansion phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK at the selected RDE and identify the RP2D for NKT2152 in combination with palbociclib (Doublet) and with palbociclib and sasanlimab (Triplet) in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who received prior therapy.
The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon of adherent perinephric fat (APF), which occurs in some patients undergoing partial nephrectomy (PN). This phenomenon, so-called "toxic fat", is a commonly recognized problem among urologists, but its significance has not yet been fully understood. The study aims to identify new clinical risk factors for APF occurrence and evaluate its impact on functional, perioperative, and oncological treatment outcomes. The study will be conducted on patients who are qualified for PN surgery. Prior to the surgical procedure, venous blood will be collected, which will be used for various measurements, such as blood morphology, kidney parameters, inflammation markers, liver function tests, glucose, and lipid profile. In addition, medical data will be collected concerning the patient's overall health, observed changes in the kidney, perioperative course, hospitalization, and histopathological characteristics of the tumor. After treatment, patients will be followed up for up to 60 months. The knowledge gained from this study can significantly assist in making decisions about surgical treatment and thus contribute to improving the treatment outcomes of patients with kidney tumors.
The goal of this pilot study is to explore the utility of Fast Field-Cycling (FFC) imaging in monitoring kidney disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - If FFC imaging can differentiate healthy kidney from kidney disease - If there is an association between FFC imaging and standard clinical tests Participants will provide one blood and on urine sample, and will have one FFC imaging scan.
This study is an open-label, multi-center study evaluating the clinical utility of Renasight in the diagnosis and management of kidney disease.
