Filter by:Patients with chronic kidney disease, who have evidence of systemic inflammation with increased cardiovascular risk, will be enrolled into this trial. The purpose of this trial is to determine a dose to select for a potential cardiovascular outcome trial with Ziltivekimab. Doses to be tested will be 7.5 mg, 15 mg and 30 mg subcutaneous monthly compared to placebo for six months.
This study aims to demonstrate the possible benefit of a treatment based on double diuretic in patients with chronic kidney disease and severely impaired glomerular filtration rate. This is based on previous observations where the investigators found that volume overload is a frequent condition within this population and is strongly linked to an increase in morbidity and mortality. The investigators consider that this therapy could be beneficial given that most of these patients are treated with loop diuretics, however, with the passage of time, adaptive changes in the distal nephron occur that promote a decrease in the treatment effect. In this sense, thiazide diuretics at appropriate doses could 'break' the resistance, since their mechanism of action antagonizes the resistance mechanism. Unfortunately, to this day, this treatment has not been fully evaluated. Particularly in this type of population. The investigators developed a study proposed as a double blind randomized clinical trial, where the population will be divided into two groups. A group will be given the standard treatment based on loop diuretic (bumetanide), while the other group will receive the intervention (bumetanide plus chlorthalidone). After a 30-day follow-up period, the results will be measured. With respect to the effectiveness of the treatment, the decrease in volume overload by bioimpedance will be measured. While the occurrence of adverse effects during the same monitoring period will be observed.
Patients often need more comprehensive information and clearer communication in order to to understand the complications, risks, cost and impacts on life quality associated with different treatment options. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a decision support intervention on reducing conflict and improving satisfaction in making the renal replacement therapy decision among patients with end-stage renal disease. This study will be a randomized controlled trail. They will be randomly assigned to the experimental or the control group. Participants in the experimental group will receive the decision support intervention provided by the patient educators through using a decision support tool. The control participants will receive the routine care. Independent t-tests will be used to analyze between-group differences in autonomy preference index, renal replacement therapy knowledge, decision self-efficacy, decision conflict, decision regret, and decision satisfaction at different data collection points.Generalized Estimating Equations will be used to analyze between group differences in the changes of renal replacement therapy knowledge, decision self-efficacy, and decision conflict across time.
This is a proposal for a retrospective observational study of the safety of metformin use in patients with chronic kidney disease, compared to other commonly used diabetes drugs. It will be conducted using retrospective data from the New York City CDRN, Medicare administrate files, and New York State Medicaid administrative files, which will be linked and then deidentified prior to analysis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if contrast-enhanced ultrasound can detect abnormal features of kidney lesions in patients with Von-Hippel Lindau with the same accuracy as conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effecacy and safety of dialysis centers switching its dialysis patients from using recombinant human erythropoietin injection (CHO Cell) (ESPO) to Pegol-Sihematide injection on hemoglobin levels and other parameters.
Study design: Phase II study, randomized, double-blind, unicentric, two-arm, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Methods and participants: Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease G2-G5 with proteinuria without renal replacement therapy, who come to the clinic of renal health clinic of the Fray Antonio Alcalde civil hospital. As criteria for non-inclusion, need for dialysis, primary hypothyroidism or pre-existing thyroid disease, ischemic heart disease in a period less than 6 months, arrhythmia, pregnancy, use of drugs that interact with synthesis of thyroid hormones, do not accept informed consent, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) <2.5 uiml / L or TSH> 10 uiml / L.
This is a Phase 1b, single-center, dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effect of RBT-1 in healthy volunteers and in subjects with Stage 3-4 CKD.
To prevent serious chronic kidney disease (CKD) complications such as end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular events, better strategies are needed to identify, treat, and refer CKD patients seen in primary care clinics. This project expands an existing and successful Web-based clinical decision support (CDS) system to include key elements of CKD care and rigorously assesses the impact of this intervention on quality of CKD care for patients seen in primary care settings, including better recognition of CKD, better management of blood pressure and glucose, and more timely referral to nephrologists when appropriate. This low-cost and highly scalable intervention has high potential to improve CKD care and translate massive public and private sector investments in health informatics into tangible health benefits for large numbers of patients with CKD.
The purpose of the study is to assess the accuracy of the Dexcom G6 CGM system and the Abbott FreeStyle Libre flash system compared to the reference standard YSI (Yellow Spring Instruments) glucose in people with diabetes undergoing haemodialysis. The Dexcom G6 is a continuous glucose monitoring system that gives blood glucose values in real-time and includes alarms if the glucose is very low or high. The Abbott FreeStyle ibre flash system is an intermittent glucose monitor that shows the blood glucose values when it is waved near the sensor and does not include alarms. The YSI glucose analysis will take place as a normal part of haemodialysis, by testing blood glucose levels during the haemodialysis session. The study will last 28 days per participant
