Filter by:DS-5565 (mirogabalin) is being studied as treatment for fibromyalgia (FM) pain. Because it is excreted through the kidneys, people who have reduced kidney function will not process the drug as well as with those with normal kidney function, so the dose must be reduced. This study will test two reduced dose levels for both moderately reduced and severely reduced kidney function. The study will test the hypothesis that the drug will be safe and well-tolerated in people who have both fibromyalgia and chronic kidney disease.
The current registry is being undertaken to assess the long-term (12 month) safety and tolerability of Venofer in the pediatric population with chronic kidney disease that requires intravenous iron maintenance therapy.
It is the investigators hypothesis that participants treated with Ferric Citrate (FC) during the non-dialysis CKD stage (4/5) with sufficient duration prior to initiating RRT, will result in improved biochemical control of anemia (Hb, TSAT) and mineral metabolism (P, FGF23) and furthermore, will result in a reduced need for ESA and intravenous iron. The investigators further hypothesize that effective treatment of anemia and mineral metabolism with FC in the pre-dialysis and transition period will result in improved physical functioning, reduced hospitalization and reduced total cost of care when compared to participants receiving contemporaneously provided standard of care therapy.
Empowering Patients On Choices for Renal Replacement Therapy (EPOCH-RRT) study seeks to identify factors that matter the most to patients with kidney disease and study how they are impacted by different types of dialysis. The inclusion of patients, caregivers, and patient advocacy organizations as research partners will assure that the study addresses questions of greatest relevance to patients facing the need for dialysis. For Aim 3, the investigators are going to compare measures related to the decision-making process between patients receiving and not receiving a decision aid focusing on Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose of the sustained-release form of BPS (TRK-100STP low dose or high dose) in Japanese patients with CRF (Primary glomerular disease/nephrosclerosis).
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a irreversible decrease of kidney functions. It is characterized by accumulation of solutes called uremic toxins. Uremic toxins levels are implicated in cardiovascular complications associated with CKD. Several protein-bound toxins have been implicated in the increased cardiovascular risk such as indoxyl sulfate (IS), p cresol sulfate (pCS) and more recently the indole acetic acid (IAA). All clinical studies are performed with a single measurement at baseline assuming that the toxin levels are stable over time. The variability of uremic toxins level is not known. Furthermore, little is known concerning determinants of serum toxins level.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of multi-dimentional ayurvedic treatment in the patients of various types of chronic kidney disease.
The purpose of this study is to show that the use of low volume iso-osmolar non-ionic radio contrast medium (30 cc) in a thoracic CT Scanning procedure in a selected group of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will avoid contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) in comparison to a similar group of patients with CKD who receive no contrast medium..
There is a pressing need to find effective strategies for the prevention of contrast induced nephropathy in patients with advanced renal dysfunction. The current study was designed to assess the efficacy of a new protocol for preventing contrast induced nephropathy in patients with advanced renal dysfunction undergoing coronary interventions
A two-group randomized clinical trial testing whether group-based care is feasible and will help improve blood pressure control in adult and adolescent patients with chronic kidney disease and hypertension.
