Filter by:This is a randomized controlled clinical trial that will analyze the impact of high volume online HDF in comparison to high-flux HD on measured physical activity.
The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation of high and low frequency and intensity, performed during hemodialysis (HD), on peripheral muscle strength, exercise capacity and muscle change and inflammation markers in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ASP1517 in peritoneal dialysis chronic kidney disease patients with anemia.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ASP1517 in ESA-naive hemodialysis chronic kidney disease patients with anemia.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASP1517 in hemodialysis patients with renal anemia whose treatment is converted from an Erythropoieses Stimulating Agent formulation.
Development of a new mass spectrography-based biomarker for the early and sensitive diagnosis of Fabry disease from the blood
Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit an excessive risk for cardiac arrhythmias, in particular sudden cardiac death (SCD). Various studies have shown that hypoglycemic episodes are strong predictors of cardiovascular mortality in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Experimental data and small clinical studies link hypoglycemia with ECG changes and SCD, but little is known about the direct association of hypoglycemic events and/or rapid swings in blood glucose with arrhythmias in this high risk population. Ideally, an algorithm should help to identify patients at risk for hypoglycemia-associated arrhythmias and SCD, but hitherto systematic analyses of blood glucose values and 12-channel ECGs are lacking in these patients. In this validation study a 12-lead ECG T-shirt consisting of textile electrodes and a data logging device wich can record long-term 12-lead ECG data will be tested. The purpose of the T-shirt is to improve the patient's comfort for long-term recordings and to prevent adverse effects of regular ECG electrodes. Current systems are limited by the use of ECG electrodes involving disadvantages like severe direct side effects on the skin such as rash and bullous lesions as well as slipping electrodes. By the means of the proposed ECG T-shirt those drawbacks will be avoided.
Frailty is a syndrome characterized by decreased reserve and diminished resistance to stressors. The proposed research will evaluate the association of frailty with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of frailty increases with age and with CKD, but studies are needed to determine whether frailty is associated with worsening of CKD and whether intervention to treat frailty can improve physical functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as well as slow progression of CKD.
The aim of this study is to determine the impact of Propolis on proteinuria reduction and protection of the glomerular filtration rate in chronic renal failure patients.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the patient and disease profile under the influence of a protein-restricted diet supplemented with keto acids/amino acids (KA/AA), focusing on the progression of chronic renal insufficiency, calcium and phosphorus metabolism, nutritional status, patient compliance to diet and Ketosteril intake as well as the persistent dietary education to ensure compliance in a large group of pre-dialysis patients.
