Filter by:The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Hemay005 tablets in subjects with mild to moderate renal impairment and normal renal function, and to provide a basis for the formulation of clinical medication regimens for patients with renal impairment.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the quality of life change in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to end-stage renal failure.
Currently, renal biopsy is the gold standard for evaluating renal pathology and renal fibrosis, but it is invasive and carries the risk of serious complications; and the sampled tissue is only a small part of the kidney, which is prone to sampling bias. The lack of reliable, comprehensive test results has hindered the research of new anti-fibrotic drugs and delayed the clinical application of effective new drugs. Therefore, the development of a non-invasive dynamic detection method for renal insufficiency and renal fibrosis in vivo is an urgent clinical problem to be solved. With the continuous development and update of technology, imaging provides a new way to non-invasively evaluate renal fibrosis. Due to the high resolution of soft tissue and the ability to perform multi-parameter analysis, magnetic resonance has developed the diagnosis of renal insufficiency and renal fibrosis from macroscopic simple biomorphological changes to microscopically complex pathophysiological changes. Many imaging techniques measure renal dysfunction and renal fibrosis by assessing the impact of fibrosis on the functional status, physical properties, and molecular properties of the kidney. In recent years, in the context of precision medicine, artificial intelligence technologies such as radiomics and machine learning are rapidly becoming very promising auxiliary tools in the imaging assessment of renal fibrosis. It can extract and learn features in images with high throughput, make greater use of information in medical images that cannot be recognized by the human eye, and achieve disease diagnosis, prognosis assessment, and efficacy prediction by building models. However, most of the current research is in the preliminary stage, and there are still few studies on the assessment of renal insufficiency and renal fibrosis. I believe that with the continuous improvement of algorithms and the optimization of models, the progress of radiomics and machine learning will be great. To a certain extent, it promotes the development of personalized medicine and precision medicine for patients with renal insufficiency and renal fibrosis.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and CRP-lowering effect of quarterly and monthly subcutaneous administration of TOUR006 in participants with chronic kidney disease and elevated hs-CRP.
Psychological flexibility, life satisfaction and adaptation to the disease of individuals with chronic kidney disease were increased with psychoeducation based on acceptance and commitment therapy to be given to individuals with chronic kidney disease.
To demonstrate safety and performance of AquaPass System for improving fluid balance in hemo-dialysis patients, by increasing fluid loss via the skin.
Approximately 20 participants will be enrolled in the study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of DV (DV, 2.0 mg/kg, intravenously administered every 2 weeks) and toripalimab (toripalimab, 3.0mg/kg, intravenously administered every 2 weeks). Subjects will receive 6 cycles of DV and toripalimab, followed by laser surgery to remove ureteral or renal pelvis tumors, followed by 12 cycles of DV and 1 year of toripalimab consolidation therapy. Efficacy and safety were evaluated by cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, laboratory tests, and imaging examinations after treatment.
This study is open to adults aged between 18 and 80 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) of 20 to 40 kg/m2. People with or without kidney problems can take part in the study. The purpose of this study is to find out how much of a medicine called BI 456906 gets into the blood of people with and without kidney problems. BI 456906 is being developed to treat people with obesity and liver problems. People living with these conditions often also have kidney problems. Therefore, it is important to find out whether kidney problems influence the amount of BI 456906 that gets into the blood. Study participants receive a single dose of BI 456906 as an injection under the skin. Participants are divided into 4 groups based on how well their kidneys work: 1 group without kidney problems, and 3 groups with mild, moderate, and severe kidney problems. Each participant without kidney problems is matched with participants from the other groups based on factors such as age, gender, race, and body mass index (BMI) to ensure accurate comparisons. Participants are in the study for about 2 months. They stay for 5 days and 4 nights at the study site and visit their doctors about 7 times. During these visits, the doctors collect information about participants' health. To assess the study endpoints, the doctors regularly take blood samples from the participants. The participants also answer questions about their well-being. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
The aim of this study was to identify and validate novel biomarkers for predict acute kidney injury (AKI) subphenotype, major adverse kidney events and other poor outcomes.
The vascular endothelium is an organ in its own right, playing, among other things, a primordial role in the control of vascular tone. This vascular tone is ensured by pro-dilator mediators (nitric oxide (NO), prostacyclins (PGI2)), or vasoconstrictors (endothelin, thromboxane A2 or PGH2).Uremic toxin accumulation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-known factor in endothelial dysfunction, often associated with higher cardiovascular risk. This association is also present for terminal chronic kidney disease characterized by the need to resort to an extra-renal purification technique (in-center hemodialysis (HD), daily home hemodialysis (HDQ), peritoneal dialysis) or to resort to renal transplantation. For HD to be effective, it is essential that the blood flow rate passing through the dialyzer is greater than 300ml/min. This imperative requires that any hemodialysis patient have specific vascular access (dialysis catheter or arteriovenous fistula (AVF)) to ensure these flow rates. The vascular access of choice is the arteriovenous fistula , because it is associated with a lower risk of infection and lower morbidity and mortality. Making an arteriovenous fistula consists of surgically creating an anastomosis between a vein and an artery. Complications of arteriovenous fistula are common. Arteriovenous fistula maturation may be delayed (maturation delay) or even absent. Drainage veins and/or anastomoses can also be the site of stenosis or thrombosis. The pathophysiology of these complications is complex and multifactorial. Among the risk factors for these complications (delay or absence of maturation, stenosis thrombosis), the positivity of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) can be cited, as well as endothelial dysfunction. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease causing a thrombotic phenotype. This is an acquired thrombophilia. In the general population, the prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies is around 0.5%; this prevalence is far from rare in hemodialysis, since it represents up to 37% in dialysis patients. In a retrospective study carried out at Brugmann University Hospital in 2023 , on 115 patients with AVF and in whom aPL dosages were available, the prevalence of persistent positivity (2 positive dosages spaced more than 12 weeks apart) was 21%. Interestingly, a third of the cohort presented an antibody profile that did not allow them to be classified according to the classification criteria in force. This group corresponds to patients with a single positive dosage, either not recontrolled or recontrolled negative. This group was called Fluctuating. This fluctuating group was associated with arteriovenous fistula complications in a 2019 study. Endothelial dysfunction is also implicated in the pathophysiology of APS. In clinical practice, the "flow mediated dilation" (FMD) test makes it possible to assess endothelial dysfunction in vivo. It involves the phenomenon of post-occlusive hyperemia which is mainly linked to NO and endothelium-dependent vasodilation. In the brachial artery, NO is the sole mediator of FMD. Endothelial dysfunction according to FMD has been described in populations with advanced chronic kidney disease, as well as patients with cardiovascular diseases. Hemodialysis patients with delayed/absence of arteriovenous fistula maturation have more pathological FMDs compared to dialysis patients without fistula problems. However, the additive role of aPL in this different population has not been studied in terms of endothelial dysfunction by FMD. The objective of this study is to evaluate the weight of antiphospholipid biology on endothelial dysfunction in hemodialysis patients, using the FMD test. 1. Compare endothelial dysfunction by FMD according to the stage of chronic kidney disease and in comparison to a control group without chronic kidney disease. 2. Characterize the FMD pre or post dialysis and according to the duration of the long (for example between Thursday and Sunday) vs. short (between Tuesday and Thursday) inter-dialytic period. 3. Evaluate the relationship between endothelial dysfunction according to FMD, aPL positivity and arteriovenous fistula complications in hemodialysis patients. 4. Evaluate the risk factors associated with endothelial dysfunction according to FMD, and in particular evaluate the impact of antiphospholipid antibodies. 5. Evaluate the correlation between endothelial dysfunction according to FMD and other markers of endothelial dysfunction (urinary NO and metabolites of urinary NO, PGI2, endothelin, PGH2).
