Filter by:Cross-sectional cohort study of participants with HIV with or without protocol-defined Fanconi syndrome (confirmed creatinine clearance [CLcr] decline and evidence of proximal tubulopathy).
To evaluate the effects of paricalcitol capsules on cardiac structure and function over 48 weeks in patients with Stage 3/4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) who had left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
Randomized controlled trial comparing effects of ergometer exercise during hemodialysis to effects of pedometer use outside of hemodialysis on exercise capacity, functional status, quality of life and adequacy of hemodialysis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the incidence of acute renal failure (ARF) in high risk patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is reduced by treating patients in the perioperative period with intravenous (IV) sodium bicarbonate. Patients will be randomized in a 50:50 allocation to receive either IV sodium bicarbonate or IV normal saline. The volume of fluid given in each arm of the study is equal. All other interventions in those patients will be according to standard cardiothoracic anesthesia protocol at our institution.
To determine the effect of renal impairment and prior platinum-based chemotherapy on the safety and blood levels of topotecan administered orally
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of Org 25969 in subjects with normal or impaired renal function and to evaluate the safety of Org 25969 in subjects with impaired renal function.
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS in patients with chronic hepatitis C and end-stage renal disease, including patients on hemodialysis. Patients will receive PEGASYS at a dose of 180 micrograms weekly; those with a calculated glomerular filtration rate of <15mL/min will receive a reduced dose of 135 micrograms weekly. Following 48 weeks of treatment there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Deterioration of kidney renal function occurs in a minority of people due to contrast-required procedures. The purpose of this study is to compare two different interventions to reduce the risk of kidney injury after contrast medium exposition. We will perform a randomized clinical trial following a modification of a previously published protocol (Merten et al.JAMA 2004;291(19):2328-34). Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups of treatment. Group A will receive 1 cc/kg/hour of 0.9% saline infusion starting 12 hours before and continuing 12 hours after the procedure. Group B will receive 3 cc/kg of sodium bicarbonate solution for one hour prior to procedure, then drip rate will be decreased to 1 cc/kg/hour until 6 hours post procedure.
The Primary objective is to reduce the incidence of postoperative renal dysfunction in a high-risk subset of patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass with Fenolopam, a selective dopamine-1 receptor agonist. Perioperative renal function will be observed in 3 randomly selected groups of patients-Fenoldopam infusion at 0.03 cg/kg/min, Fenoldopam at 0.1 mcg/kg/min or placebo Secondary objective: will be to correlate Fenoldopam usage with postoperative clinical outcomes such as ICU stay, hospital stay, need for inotropes/vasopressors, need for diuretics, requirements for ECF at discharge, and overall perioperative cost reduction through decreased ICU and hospital length of stay.
Creatine (CR) supplementation is commonly used by athletes. However, its effects on renal function remain controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of creatine supplementation on renal function and oxidative stress in healthy sedentary males (18-35 years old) submitted to exercise training. Our hipothesis is that creatine supplementation does not affect renal function in this population.
