Filter by:Bone and mineral disease is a key problem in patients with kidney disease. The available clinical parameters are non-specific, unproven for the assessment of the bone metabolism and do not reflect the complexity and diversity of the underlying bone pathology. The aim of this study is to use bone histology, novel bone markers and bone imaging results to establish a reliable decision model (diagnostic tool) that can be used to guide the individual therapy.
Evaluation of safety, tolerability, PK and PD of ISIS 416858 in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving chronic hemodialysis.
The proposed randomized controlled trial will test the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with sodium nitrite and isoquercetin on endothelial function and inflammation among patients with chronic kidney disease.
This study aims to evaluate prevalence of sarcopenia and cachexia in patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disease. The investigators will also investigate metabolic disorders like glucose metabolism, presence of metabolic syndrome, body composition and histological changes in skeletal muscle and body fat. Finally, patients will be followed for clinical endpoints.
This observational trial will examine the efficacy and safety of Mircera for renal anemia in participants with stage III-IV CKD in daily clinical practice. Mircera will be prescribed by treating physician and followed for approximately 36 months.
The annual report of USRDS shows than Taiwan has the highest prevalence of end-stage-renal-disease globally resulted in high prevalence dialysis rate. The major factors associated with chronic renal failure are age, diabetes, hypertension, chronic glomerulonephritis, metabolic syndrome, smoke, hepatitis C, painkiller and herbals. Chronic kidney disease may lead to various metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. And these possible prognostic factors associating with the disease progression and ultimately increase the morbidity and mortality. End-stage renal failure is an irreversible course often with clinical manifestations of edema, fatigue, anemia and uremic pruritus. Patients often use Chinese medicine or acupuncture to help them to ease the symptom. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of combined Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine daycare model for chronic kidney disease patients. The study approach to investigate whether combination of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine daycare model can improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life as well as the laboratory biochemistries data.
Aim of the study is the determination of the ideal timepoint for the treatment of patients with acute Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and an acute or chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a GRACE score < 140. It should be determine if a prompt coronary angiography or the protection of the kidneys from the used contrast agent is more important for the outcome of the patients. Additionally it will be investigated if the ischemic precondition can help to prevent heart damages.
Randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded interventional trial to investigate the effect of oral magnesium supplementation on vascular calcification in subjects with chronic kidney disease. We hypothesize that oral magnesium supplementation will reduce vascular calcification in subjects with chronic kidney disease while not decreasing bone mineral density.
The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate whether, in addition to standard of care, finerenone is superior to placebo in delaying the progression of kidney disease, as measured by the composite endpoint of time to first occurrence of kidney failure, a sustained decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥40% from baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death.
This non-interventional, observational study investigates the efficiency, safety and acceptance of MIRCERA in participants, who received erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) using a self-application system. For each participant, the investigator documents 9 months of treatment with Mircera with respect to efficacy, safety and acceptance.
