Filter by:The Investigators plan to conduct a long-term trial to explore therapeutic implications of effervescent calcium magnesium citrate (EffCaMgCit) in CKD Stage V (end stage renal disease on hemodialysis). The Investigators will test the hypothesis that EffCaMgCit would retard the formation of calciprotein particles (CPP) in CKD Stage V, thereby reducing the degree of coronary artery and peripheral artery calcification and cardiac hypertrophy-fibrosis. Aim 1. To compare cardiovascular risk of EffCaMgCit versus CaAcS in CKD Stage V Aim 2. To show that EffCaMgCit reduces putative serum FGF23, and increases beneficial alkali load Aim 3. To compare parameters of bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) between EffCaMgCit and CaAcS groups
This study is to evaluate the renal function of HMG-CoA reductase add-on in chronic kidney disease patients with proteinuria.
To provide real world data on patient characteristics, disease management, healthcare utilization, and outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, Hypertension, Heart failure and/or Chronic kidney diseases
This study aims to determine the mechanisms underlying dyslipidemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and effect of lipid-lowering therapies in patients with CKD via parameters of lipid, oxidative stress, tryptophan delegation as well as renal function and side effects. Thirty 3,4 CKD patients with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) > 100 mg/mL (2,59mmol/l), randomly receive three different LDL lipid-lowering therapies: Simvastatin (40 mg/day) or ezetimibe/simvastatin combination (10/20 mg/day or 10/40 mg/day).
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human growth hormone injection in short stature children due to chronic kidney disease before transplantation.
This study will evaluate periodontal and systemic parameters of a cohort of chronic kidney disease (stage 5) patients, before and three months after non-surgical periodontal treatment. It does not consider a control group.
The investigators propose a home hospital model of care that substitutes for treatment in an acute care hospital. Limited studies of the home hospital model have demonstrated that a sizeable proportion of acute care can be delivered in the home with equal quality and safety, reduced cost, and improved patient experience.
This study is to evaluate 24-week efficacy and 52 week immunogenicity of subcutaneous Eporon versus Epoetin Alfa (Eprex) in the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure in pre-dialysis patients. A total of 214 patients will be enrolled in Turkey.
NephroNet proposes to examine whether combining Spironolactone with maximal RAAS blockade will further reduce urinary protein at one year and whether prolonged therapy (24 months) is able to slow the decline in GFR. Because of combination MRA and RAAS therapy significantly increases the risk for clinically significant hyperkalemia, we also plan to determine whether the addition of Patiromer to these patients facilitates the use of combination therapy and allows a larger proportion of diabetic patients the potential benefit of combination therapy on renal function.
A myriad of sexual problems affect men and women with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. Menstrual abnormalities are common in CKD and many women are an-ovulatory. Sexual dysfunction in CKD is multifactorial including hormonal alterations along with vascular, neurologic, psychogenic, and other factors, such as medications, contribute to the development of sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction in females is mainly due to hormonal factors and manifests mainly as menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, lack of vaginal lubrication, and failure to conceive.
