Filter by:The main purpose of this trial is to determine whether the addition of the VIEWER virtual care platform to usual care will lead to a reduction in composite emergency department (ED) visits and/or hospitalizations/or increase the perceived safety of virtual care among patients and providers.
CKD is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality , As in adults, cardiovascular disease occurs in some children with CKD before they reach ESRD as well as after
The goal of this observational study or clinical trial is to learn about the effect of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) on vascular calcification in maintenance hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). The main question it aims to answer is: the predictive effects of blood NGAL level on the efficacy of palicalcitol in the treatment of SHPT and the adverse reactions of vascular calcification progression. Participants will be treated with palicalcitol, followed up and undergo routine series of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder associated tests before and after treatment.
The goal of this study is to better understand the effects of a sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, added on to standard of care on heart and lung function and circulating metabolites (substances created when our bodies break down food, drugs, or its own tissues) in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Justification: Studies in recent years have shown that suffering an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI) is an independent risk factor for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is associated with cardiovascular complications, increases medical care costs, and decreases survival. These AKI to ERC transition cases add to the growing number of CKD cases already being seen globally. It is for them that in recent years therapeutic strategies have been sought to reduce or stop this process of transition from AKI to CKD. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of dapagliflozin plus standard medical treatment (TMS), compared with only TMS for 21 days, in hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of severe AKI (KDIGO 3) in reducing the incidence of CKD to 18 months of follow-up. Design: Randomized, single center, open study. 100 hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of AKI KDIGO 3, without previous CKD, will be randomized to receive 10 mg of dapagliflozin every 24 h for 21 days + TMS or only TMS. During their follow-up, baseline blood and urine samples will be taken and at 3, 6, 12 and 18 months. At 18 months, the development of CKD will be assessed using the KDIGO clinical criteria and with the determination of urinary biomarkers (Serpina A3, HSP72, KIM 1 and NGAL).
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use the insulin well enough. Insulin's role is to regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Too much blood sugar can cause damage to the kidneys over time. Consequently, CKD can happen as one of the complications of T2D. The study treatment finerenone works by blocking a group of proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptor. An increased stimulation of the mineralocorticoid receptor is known to trigger injury and inflammation in the kidney and is therefore thought to play a role in CKD. Finerenone is already available in several countries for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and T2D. In addition, it was recently approved in India with a request to specifically gather information on finerenone therapy in Indians. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe finerenone is in Indian people with CKD and T2D. For this, the researchers will count the number of participants who have: - medical problems after taking finerenone - abnormal high levels of potassium in the blood (called hyperkalemia). Researcher will also count the number of participants in whom hyperkalemia: - leads to stop of finerenone treatment - requires treatment to filter wastes and water from the blood - leads to a hospital stay. Doctors keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think the medical problems might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the study team will collect more data about how well finerenone works in Indian people with CKD and T2D under real world setting. Working well means that the treatment can prevent the following from happening: - reduced kidney function over a period of at least 4 weeks - death from renal problems - death due to conditions affecting the heart and blood circulation - heart attack (blocked blood flow to the heart) - hospital stay due to a condition which occurs when the heart does not pump blood as well as it should - changes of the albumin and creatinine levels in urine. The participants will be in the study for approximately 20 months. They will take the study treatment once daily as a tablet by mouth for 18 months. In the study, 9 visits to the study site are planned. During the study, the study team will: - take blood and urine samples - do physical examinations - check the participants' overall health - do pregnancy tests - examine heart health using electrocardiogram ECG - check vital signs. About 30 days after the participants take their last treatment, the study doctors and their team will check worsening of reported underlying diseases: - damage to the blood vessels in the tissue of the retina at the back of the eye, as a result of diabetes mellitus - a long-term condition where the heart does not pump blood as well as it should with symptoms such as shortness of breath, tiredness and ankle swelling - heart attack (blocked blood flow to the heart) - death due to conditions affecting the heart and blood circulation or - hospital stay.
The is a non-randomized pilot trial, open-label evaluation of the physiologic response of native kidney denervation using the Paradise denervation system in CKD, End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and Heart failure (HF)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of supplemental REACT injections in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have previously received REACT treatment.
The overarching goal of this study is to understand facilitators and barriers to self-care, develop and refine a culturally tailored intervention to improve clinical outcomes, quality of life (QOL), and self-care behaviors in African American adults with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) experiencing multidimensional adversity (MDA) and living in the inner-city.
Objective: To verify the efficacy and safety of denosumab in the prevention and treatment of CKD-MBD in CKD patients with high risk of fracture. Methods: A cohort of CKD patients with high risk of fracture was established and followed up for long periods (≥24 months). Patients with CKD3b-5D stage and fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) scores at high risk or very high risk of fracture were enrolled. A multicenter, prospective, open-label, randomised controlled, interventional study was conducted. The patients were divided into two groups. The patients in the denosumab group received subcutaneous injection of denosumab 60mg once every 6 months, and the patients in the non-denosumab group received conventional treatment. Bone metabolic markers (serum calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b, osteocalcin, total N-terminal propeptide of type I collagen, etc.), bone mineral density (dual-energy X-ray, quantitative CT), and vascular calcification score were regularly monitored. All adverse events (all-cause death, cardiovascular death, cardiac events, fracture, hospitalization, emergency department visits, etc.) were recorded during the follow-up period. Bone mineral density and clinical parameters were compared between the two groups.
