Filter by:The objective of this study was to observe the safety of paricalcitol utilization in pediatric participants (ages 0 to 16 years old) being treated for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Participants were to be followed for a minimum of 3 months and up to approximately 36 months to monitor the incidence of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in blood).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of individualized titration of patiromer according to serum potassium. This study also assessed the safety and tolerability of patiromer and the effects of patiromer on serum potassium in heart failure (HF) participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
To assess the effects of 12 weeks of treatment with lanthanum carbonate compared with placebo on serum intact Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) levels.
MONITOR-CKD5 is an observational, pharmaco-epidemiological study to evaluate the multi-level factors and outcomes associated with the treatment of renal anaemia with biosimilar epoetin alfa in Stage 5 CKD patients requiring haemodialysis.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) that results in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major international health problem. Many clinical markers such as urine protein or eGFR(evaluated glomerular filtration rate),can estimate the renal function, but not sensitive. As well-known, the crucial role of angiotensin II (AngII), the major effector of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), in the development of renal fibrosis that results in ESRD is widely recognized.Abundant researches find that intrarenal RAS takes an important role on the progression of CKD. At present, no clinical marker is available to evaluate intrarenal AngII activity because it is difficult to measure it directly in patients. So find and establish a bio-marker of local renal RAS activation maybe a breakthrough in early detection and treatment of CKD. Angiotensinogen(AGT) is the only known substrate for renin and the level of AGT in humans is close to Km value for renin. Thus , changes in AGT levels can control the activity of the RAS, and its up-regulation may lead to activity of Ang levels. Then we hypothesis that the AGT is a early bio-marker of local renal RAS activation as well as CKD.
The aim of this pilot project is to assess the potential of urine micro-RNAs (miRNA) as biomarkers for characterizing patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) compared with patients with other causes of chronic kidney disease.
The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of lanthanum carbonate 750 to 2,250 mg in Japanese Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3, 4 and 5 subjects not on dialysis.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the ability of Velcade® (bortezomib) to induce complete or partial remission in patients with severe IgA nephropathy. The secondary objectives are to assess clinical outcomes relating to safety and efficacy, such as infection, malignancy, preservation of renal function, partial responders, relapse rate, and to study mechanistic assays to predict remission.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for pain management in hemodialysis patients.
The study is designed to determine the effects of an investigational drug Monofer in subjects with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD) subjects and with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA).
