Filter by:The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial. The investigators hypothesize that kidney transplant recipient candidates whose donors are offered reimbursement of lost wages (treatment arm) will have a higher probability of receiving a living donor kidney transplant than those randomized to no offer of lost wage reimbursement (control arm). The study expects to demonstrate incremental living donor kidney transplants by assisting individuals who wish to be living organ donors but would be otherwise unable to do so due to the obligatory forfeit of income during the evaluation, donation surgery, and post-operative recuperation periods.
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Lu AF35700 after a single dose tablet to subjects with renal impairment (kidney insufficiency) and compare that with healthy subjects
Incisional negative pressure therapy (INPWT) has previously been shown in certain patient populations to decrease wound healing complications, decrease the rate of hematomas and seromas, as well as have better scar quality. We have found a group of patients, those who have panniculectomies in preparation for renal transplant, with significantly higher rates of wound healing complications. We believe the best way to demonstrate benefits of incisional negative pressure wound therapy will be in this group of patients known to have significantly higher rates of wound complications.
Compare Artegraft and Propaten grafts for use in dialysis access to see if one performs better than the other. How long each one lasts until a complication arises or until the graft is no longer used will be compared. The study hypothesis is that the Artegraft, being an actual blood vessel, will work better than the manufactured Propaten graft.
The value of HbA1c as a tool to determine glycemic control in patients with diabetes and renal failure has not been well studied, the same accepted normal ranges for HbA1c are applied to all patients with diabetes regardless of their renal function. We would like to evaluate the use of HbA1c as a tool of assessing long term glycemic control in this subgroup of patients with diabetes and evaluate the effect of dialysis on HbA1c
This research study is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate if taking diuretics (medications that increase urine production and help with fluid removal from the body) in a standardized fashion (using a guideline for adjusting doses based on measured urine output) could improve health outcomes in patients with cardiorenal failure or cardiorenal syndrome (combined heart and kidney failure) with edema (too much fluid in their arms, legs, and/or lungs). Under usual care, these patients are treated with diuretics and other medications in increasing doses, but not necessarily to maintain a specific amount of urine output per day. Current heart failure (HF) treatment guidelines do not provide any standard protocol, or guideline, for adjusting diuretic doses. At the point when kidney function worsens to the degree that the kidneys are no longer able to respond to the medications used to remove fluid, either ultrafiltration (UF) or dialysis (also called hemodialysis [HD]) is typically started in order to remove fluid. In both UF and dialysis, excess fluid is removed from the body by using a machine. In dialysis, both waste products and fluid are removed and electrolyte abnormalities are corrected. In UF, only fluid is removed. Both procedures use the same machine. This study will test whether a Protocolized Diuretic Strategy (ProDiuS), a plan for adjusting diuretic doses based on measured urine output, will improve clinical care for cardiorenal syndrome. Such a plan for adjusting diuretic doses is needed to improve symptoms, decrease the length of hospital stays and rehospitalization rates, and improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in cardiorenal syndrome patients.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dabrafenib in treating patients with solid tumors and kidney or liver dysfunction. Dabrafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Hypothesis: The primary objective of this study is to assess whether using a flow measurement device, in this case the Transonics flow device, as an end-point to interventional treatment of diseased dialysis fistulae can help increase immediate treatment success in terms of quality of dialysis immediately following the treatment and increasing time to reintervention.
Chronic renal failure is a serious complication of lung transplantation especially in patients with cystic fibrosis. Their medical history prior to the Lung Transplantation has already exposed to kidney damage. Post-lung transplantation, these patients are subjected to renal toxicity anticalcineurins they receive large doses. The measurement of renal function of patients by formula to estimate GFR in routine use is unreliable and other markers seem indispensable. The purpose of this study is to evaluate two markers, PIIINP (Procollagen III aminoterminal peptide N), whose urinary levels was correlated to the intensity of fibrosis in different types of kidney disease.
This study will compare how well blood of renal failure patients is cleaned with the new 2008 Sorbent System using two different dialysate speeds.
