Filter by:Studies of patients with established kidney disease, even when this is mild, appear to show that they are at high risk of heart failure, stroke and sudden cardiac death. This may be because kidney disease causes stiffening of the arteries in the body which means that the heart and brain are damaged by high blood pressure. By studying patients before and after the removal of a kidney (uni-nephrectomy) for transplantation the investigators will find out for the first time in man the effect of an isolated reduction in kidney function on the structure and function of the arteries and heart. Hypotheses. An isolated reduction in GFR occuring after surgical uni-nephrectomy is associated with long term adverse cardiac and vascular effects which include: 1. Increased arterial stiffness and left ventricular mass 2. Abnormalities in left ventricular systolic and diastolic function 3. Increased oxidative stress, inflammation and collagen turnover
Part 1: To determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of 3 μg paricalcitol capsules in children ages 10 to 16 years with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD Stages 3 and 4). Part 2: To determine the safety and efficacy of paricalcitol capsules as compared to placebo in decreasing serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) in children ages 10 to 16 years with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease with an initial 12 weeks of double-blinded study drug followed by a minimum of 12 weeks of open-label active drug.
This is a multi-center, open-labeled, non-comparative study to examine the safety and efficacy of ASP1585 in chronic kidney disease and hyperphosphatemia patients on peritoneal dialysis.
The purpose of this study is to: 1. Study the pharmacokinetics and safety of daptomycin in children on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). 2. Determine urine, HD and PD clearance of daptomycin.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a 12 week progressive resistance training during haemodialysis on muscle quantity and physical functioning in chronic kidney disease patients receiving maintenance haemodialysis. It is hypothesised, based on previous literature involving similar resistance training protocols in other catabolic conditions, that the resistance training will result in a significant increase in muscle quantity as well a physical function.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with paricalcitol, an active form of vitamin D, has beneficial effects on metabolic abnormalities in people with stage 3-4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
The aim of the study is to assess the effects of the drug lanthanum carbonate (a phosphorus binder drug) on c-terminal and on FGF23 levels in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Targeting FGF23 measurement in CKD patients may impact both the progression of kidney disease and patient mortality.
PRT-201 is a recombinant human type-I pancreatic elastase intended for local, long-lasting dilation of the AVG venous anastomosis and outflow vein. The goal of the treatment is to improve primary patency and long-term survival of AVGs and thereby provide patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) a reliable and durable vascular access site for hemodialysis. Recent data indicate that up to three quarters of patients have loss of graft patency at one year, indicating a substantial need for new therapies. This clinical trial will explore the safety and dilatory effect of topically administered PRT-201 on the outflow vein of a newly placed upper extremity AVG.
FGF-23 is a newly described protein that is an important regulator of phosphorus in the body. This protein increases in people with kidney disease and people who need dialysis have very high levels of FGF-23 in the blood. However, although some studies have indicated that FGF-23 levels go up with increased intake of phosphorus, no one knows if FGF-23 levels can be lowered in patients with kidney disease by preventing them from absorbing phosphorus from food. This study is designed to see what happens to levels of FGF-23 in the blood when patients with chronic kidney disease take medications to prevent phosphorus absorption. Since high levels of FGF-23 have been linked with increased rates of death in patients with advanced kidney disease, controlling the levels may, in the future, be a way to decrease heart disease in patients with kidney disease.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) administration in organ donors on the kidney graft function of recipients.
