Filter by:To determine the optimal route of administration, dose level, and safety of intravenous and subcutaneous dosing of sotatercept for maintaining hemoglobin levels in subjects who are on hemodialysis.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of "adapted" Automated Peritoneal Dialysis(APD) sequentially prescribed shorter and longer dwell exchanges with smaller and larger fill volumes in comparison with "conventional APD" prescribed a standard continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis on the efficacy of dialysis.
Kidney failure is a devastating illness requiring treatment with dialysis or transplantation to preserve life. Individuals unable to have transplants are managed by peritoneal dialysis (PD)or haemodialysis (HD). PD involves the placement of a soft, flexible plastic tube (catheter) into the abdomen, allowing dialysis fluid to be drained in and out of the peritoneal cavity. This catheter exits from a hole in the abdomen and occasionally patients can have complications at this exit site. One possible complication is over-granulation. Over-granulation occurs as the wound attempts to heal and the skin around the exit site becomes red,'wet','bumpy' and stands 'proud' of the surrounding skin. An over-granulating exit site can lead to discomfort, pain, bleeding and harbour infection. More serious complications include dialysis failure, sepsis and death. There are several ways to treat over-granulation but there is limited research evidence to demonstrate which treatment is best. The study aims to compare current standard treatment which involves the application of silver nitrate by qualified nursing staff to chemically burn the tissue away, with an alternative treatment which involves the application of steroid impregnated tape to the area of over-granulating tissue by the patient themselves.
This study will evaluate the safety of LY2928057 and how LY2928057 affects hemoglobin in hemodialysis participants. This study will involve multiple doses of LY2928057 given during a 6 week period either after a participant discontinues or reduces treatment to stimulate red blood cells. This study will last up to 26 weeks for each participant.
The purpose of this study is to compare the difference in thrombosis as a result of internal jugular (IJ) catheters versus peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines. It is hypothesized that there will be a decreased rate of thrombosis in patients as a result of IJ catheters verses PICC lines.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of EVP-6124 and metabolites after a single oral dose in subjects with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment compared with subjects with normal renal function.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether urinary connective tissue growth factor (uCTGF) can predict the onset of fibrosis in transplanted kidneys.
To evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of gabapentin enacarbil in moderate to severe primary RLS patients with moderate renal impairment and to confirm dosage and administration in such population.
Primary Aim A. To disseminate and determine the impact of streamlined navigation on wait listing and number of transplants. The navigator will provide tailored information and assistance to help dialysis patients complete the tasks required at each step in the transplant process. In the control group, dialysis patients will continue to get usual care from their nephrologists and dialysis facility personnel. Hypothesis: Compared to control patients, intervention patients will be significantly more likely to be wait listed or receive a kidney transplant.
Malnutrition is seen frequently in hemodialysis units in most developing countries. Malnutrition increases morbidity and mortality in this population and its treatment improves patient survival and health status The purpose of this study is to compare two strategies to improve nutritional status in hemodialysis patients: renal-specific oral supplement (237 ml) versus egg albumin-based protein supplement (30 g) on a daily basis. This trial uses the Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) in addition to most used biochemical markers to determine nutritional status.
