Filter by:Carnitine is essential for the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria and energy production in different muscles, including the myocardium. It is also needed to protect myocyte cell membranes from oxidative damage by removing excess acyl carnitine groups. Patients receiving chronic intermittent hemodialysis (HD) are known to be at increased risk for carnitine deficiency as a result of its removal during the dialysis procedure, lack of endogenous synthesis by the kidney, and inadequate dietary intake. The carnitine status of children undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has not been studied. Children undergoing CRRT in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting may be at increased risk for carnitine deficiency due to its continuous removal, lack of carnitine production by the kidney, and absence of carnitine intake (as majority of these children can not eat and there is no carnitine added to total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Carnitine deficiency may increase the risk of cardiac dysfunction in critically ill children. This is the first study to examine carnitine status in children undergoing CRRT. Standard echo as well as more sensitive speckle tracking echo will be used to evaluate the effect of carnitine deficiency on myocardial function.
Grazoprevir (MK-5172) and Elbasvir (MK-8742) were studied as the principal components of combination oral therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The study examined the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of Grazoprevir and Elbasvir following 10 days of dosing in participants with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) or participants with severe renal impairment. Both groups were compared to healthy matched controls.
The value of HbA1c as a tool to determine glycemic control in patients with diabetes and renal failure has not been well studied, the same accepted normal ranges for HbA1c are applied to all patients with diabetes regardless of their renal function. We would like to evaluate the use of HbA1c as a tool of assessing long term glycemic control in this subgroup of patients with diabetes and evaluate the effect of dialysis on HbA1c
This study will examine the renal sparing impact of implementing a strategy of conversion to everolimus from a calcineurin inhibitor based immunosuppressive protocol at 3 months post liver transplant
To investigate if renal impairment will have an impact on the pharmacokinetics of nalmefene
The purpose of this study is to improve care delivered to patients with serious illness by enhancing communication among patients, families, and clinicians in the outpatient setting. We are testing a new way to help patients share their preferences for talking about end-of-life care with their clinicians and families. To do this we created a simple, short feedback form. The form is designed to help clinicians understand what patients would like to talk about. The goal of this research study is to show that using a feedback form is possible and can be helpful for patients and their families.
The HEMO-TIN trial is designed to look at both the safety (bleeding risk) and effectiveness (clotting risk) of tinzaparin compared with unfractionated heparin for anticoagulation in hemodialysis patients.
The purpose of this study was to measure how much of the study drug, LY2409021, gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it when given to participants with different levels of kidney function. There were five study groups. Each participant only enrolled in one group. Participants in groups 1 through 4 were healthy or have mild, moderate, or severe kidney disease. They completed one study period lasting about 29 days. Study group 5 enrolled participants with kidney disease who were on dialysis. They have completed two study periods which together last about 59 days. Screening was required within 21 days prior to the start of the study for all participants.
- To determine and compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of 25 mg Androxal in overweight male subjects with various stages of renal impairment and in volunteers with normal renal function. - To compare the safety profile of a single dose of 25 mg Androxal in overweight male subjects with various stages of renal impairment and in volunteers with normal renal function.
The goal of this study is to test a new vitamin D compound for its ability to reduce parathyroid hormone levels in patients who are on hemodialysis.
