Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death. An overactive sympathetic nervous system in CKD patients is one of the major mechanisms increasing the cardiovascular risks in this patient population. A potential signal driving sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) involves accumulation of the endogenous nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). ADMA is elevated in CKD and is a strong, independent predictor of future cardiovascular events in these patients. . The goal of this study is to determine whether overcoming the accumulation of endogenous ADMA with acute L-arginine infusion reduces SNA in CKD patients.
Nephrology care continues to progress and recommendations are now focused on delaying as much as possible the need for renal replacement therapy ("intent-to-defer"strategy). Protein restriction is a valuable tool for stabilizing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and retarding the need for renal replacement therapy, but the best diet to be prescribed is still matter of discussion. This study is aimed at identifying implementation strategies for nutritional management of advanced CKD.
This is a randomized, double-blind, dose-escalating, placebo controlled, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of DDO-3055 in healthy volunteers and patients with chronic kidney disease. 48 healthy volunteers will be enrolled in Part A, and 18 patients with chronic kidney disease will be enrolled in Part B.
This study will investigate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a sample population of Hispanics/Latinos and Caucasians in Yakima county that are rural dwelling. This investigation is intended to provide information on the impact rural geographical location and social determinants of health (SDOH) have on CKD and CVD risk factors.
This study aims to develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a theory-driven nurse-led self-management intervention program compared to standard usual care in people with CKD stages 3-4 on CKD knowledge, self-management behavior, self-efficacy and HRQoL using valid and reliable instruments in Malaysia.
The TRACK trial is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, prospective, randomised, quadruple-blind (participant, healthcare provider, data collector, outcomes assessor), placebo-controlled trial. TRACK is a global trial and will be conducted in renal units that provide comprehensive CKD care. Approximately 2000 participants will be recruited. The TRACK trial will assess a strategy of administering low dose rivaroxaban to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) in people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stages 4 or 5 or dialysis-dependent kidney failure, and elevated cardiovascular (CV) risk (marked by a history of CAD or PAD, or non-haemorrhagic non-lacunar stroke OR diabetes mellitus OR age ≥65 years).
The objectives of the Clinical Validation Through Analytical Study With Urine Samples to Compare the Effectiveness and Security of an Intelligent Device are: 1.To evaluate the performance of S-There Device in comparison to the golden standard used in the lab.
At present, chronic kidney disease population are vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine according to the standard three-dose schedule immunization program, and the effect of preventing HBV infection is not ideal. This is a randomized, controlled trial. The study will evaluate the immunogenicity and persistence of 20 µg and 60 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine with three or four injections at months 0, 1, and 6 or 0, 1, 2, and 6 in chronic kidney disease population.
The proposed study will investigate the effects of etelcalcetide on the bone and blood-vessel health in patients with CKD-MBD. The investigators will test if etelcalcetide makes bone and blood-vessels healthier. The study hypotheses are that are that etelcalcetide keeps bones strong and lowers the risk of calcium deposits in blood vessels. In Aim 1, the investigators will test if 9-months of treatment with etelcalcetide improves bone strength in twenty ESKD patients with hyperparathyroidism (HPT) by bone biopsy. In Aim 2, the investigators will test if 9-months of treatment with etelcalcetide decreases serum propensity to calcify blood vessels. The potential significance of this study is to provide first-time data on the ability of etelcalcetide to protect bone and blood-vessel health in patients with ESKD.
