Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability of treatment with zibotentan and dapagliflozin in combination and dapagliflozin 10 mg as monotherapy in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 20 mL/min/1.73 m^2, and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 150 mg/g and ≤ 5000 mg/g.
Interdialytic weight gain determines how much fluid (ultrafiltration) has to be removed during each hemodialysis session. High ultrafiltration volumes stress the organism and lead to a higher risk of death. Thirst is the main driving factor of interdialytic weight gain, and thirst is mainly driven by salt intake, molecules that increase blood tonicity (such as sugar in diabetics) and fluid loss (such as in dehydration and blood loss). It has been speculated that fluid loss during hemodialysis could increase the sense of thirst immediately following dialysis, but this statement requires further evidence.
This is a multi-center cross sectional epidemiological study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) in Chinese population.
Current American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines recommend a split regimen of high-volume (4-liter polyethylene glycol-based preparation) or low-volume (2-liter polyethylene glycol-based solutions or sodium picosulphate plus magnesium citrate) formulations for routine bowel preparation. Some concerns have been raised about the use of oral bowel-cleansing agents in people receiving hemodialysis due to the possibility of secondary intravascular depletion. There is a risk for thrombosis of dialysis access in case of hypotension. The association of hemodialysis treatment and the use of bowel preparations may induce severe hypovolaemia. Finally, the 4-liter intake with high-volume preparations may cause fluid overload in anuric patients. The aim of our study will be to assess in a randomized trial the non-inferiority of a low-volume versus a high-volume polyethylene glycol-based bowel preparation for adequate bowel cleansing in people receiving hemodialysis (primary end-point). We will also compare the low-volume versus the high-volume preparation for other endoscopic and nephrologic relevant clinical outcomes (secondary end-points).
The Automatic Tongue Diagnosis System (ATDS) was developed to capture tongue images and extract features reliably to assist the diagnosis of TCM practitioners.This project will employ the ATDS verified to extract the tongue features of patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) including dialysis patients. A TCM indices derived through the non-intrusive tongue diagnosis procedure can provide valuable information for clinical doctors to analyze the current status of a patient and dynamically schedule a treatment plan, facilitating early detection and diagnosis of CKD.
The purpose of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to compare the clinical outcomes according to the duration of aspirin and clopidogrel or prasugrel with dual anti-platelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease using a new generation drug eluting stents.
This study will be conducted to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of vadadustat administered three times weekly (TIW) compared to a long-acting erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) (Mircera®) for the maintenance treatment of anemia in hemodialysis participants.
This study was conducted to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, safety, and tolerability in participants with Stage 3 and 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) following a single oral dose of Vadadustat.
This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with CKD due to multiple etiologies at risk of rapid disease progression. Approximately 70 patients will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to either bardoxolone methyl or placebo. Patients with CKD secondary to varying etiologies will be enrolled from age 18-70 years with eGFR ≥ 20 to < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and other risk factors for rapid progression of kidney disease. The maximum target dose will be determined by baseline proteinuria status. Patients with baseline urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) ≤ 300 mg/g will be titrated to a maximum dose of 20 mg, and patients with baseline UACR > 300 mg/g will be titrated to a maximum dose of 30 mg. Qualified patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either bardoxolone methyl or placebo once daily (preferably in the morning) throughout a 12-week dosing period. Patients in the study will follow the same visit and assessment schedule. Patients will be assessed during treatment at Day 1, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 and by telephone contact on Days 3, 10, 21, 31, 35, and 45. Date of last dose and the end-of-treatment assessments mark the end of the treatment period. Patients will not receive study drug during a 5-week off-treatment period between Weeks 12 and 17. The off-treatment (OT) period includes 5 visits requiring various assessments to characterize eGFR from the time of study drug discontinuation through Day 35 off-treatment.
Frailty is very frequent among patients waiting for a kidney transplantation (KT). Frailty and poor fitness powerfully predict mortality, kidney graft survival, and healthcare utilization after KT. Frailty in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) displays a constellation of features that characterize a special population. Intervention is essential to improve quality of life for frail CKD patients, regardless of their age. A pre-transplant intervention including physical therapy, nutritional measures and psychological support scheduled for before the transplant may improve patient retention and compliance, better mitigate the effects of frailty and poor fitness after KT, and improve main outcomes in frail CKD patients. The main objective is to assess effectiveness, feasibility and safety of a prehabilitation program (exercise, nutritional plans, psychological advice) in frail and non-frail KT candidates on clinical and functional outcomes after KT.
