Filter by:The purpose of this study is to obtain information on whether raising levels of HDL-cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) can improve how blood vessels work in kidney disease. This may help us understand the causes leading to high rates of heart disease in kidney disease and also ways to reduce this risk.
This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this observational study is to investigate the clinical safety profile and effectiveness while using SC NovoRapid™ (insulin aspart) in patients with coexisting diabetes and kidney disease under normal clinical practice conditions in India.
The investigators would like to study the role of phosphorus metabolism in the development of certain hormonal problems in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). More specifically, the goals of the research are (1) to understand the cause of hyperparathyroidism - a hormone problem that often develops in patients who have kidney disease and (2) to test whether decreasing phosphorus intake could help improve or prevent hyperparathyroidism.
This European study observes paediatric patients with Chronic Kidney Disease using Darbepoetin Alfa to assess the drug's long term safety and profile the patterns of its use within this population.
This study was designed to determine appropriate treatment with Fabrazyme at a biweekly dose of either 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg in a population of patients with severe renal disease burden.
This study will determine whether upper arm vessels increase in size following forearm loop arteriovenous graft placement and the timing of these changes.
Approximately 207 hyperphosphatemic CKD patients not on dialysis will be entered into this study at approximately 50 sites within approximately 9 European countries. The purpose of this study is to determine if sevelamer carbonate tablets dosed three times a day (TID) is a safe and effective treatment for the control of serum phosphorous levels in hyperphosphatemic CKD patients not on dialysis. Total length of participation is approximately 24 weeks.
The long-term goal is to assess the fall in kidney function measured by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) when patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are exposed to intravenous iron (IVIR). We hypothesize that in subjects with mild to moderate CKD, infusion of intravenous iron (IVIR), will generate oxidative stress and cause an inflammatory response that will be associated with a more rapid decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared to oral iron.
This study will follow 2500 prevalent Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients with Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) from 15-45 ml/min for 30 months with serial measurements every 6 months and subsequent annual chart review up to 60 months. This observational study will analyze the demographics, clinical status, medications and blood and urine samples of these patients and study the conventional biochemical, hormonal and metabolic parameters assessing which underlying biomarkers reflect the processes involved with disease progression.
Use 24hr Holter ECG, ultrasound and cardiac fibrosis markers in the chronic kidney disease patients
