Filter by:Ceftazidime is a broad spectrum cephalosporin with high activity against a variety of Gram-negative pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. An open-label study of intravenous ceftazidime pharmacokinetics will be performed in patients undergoing intermittent hemodialysis at Northwestern Memorial Hospital to determine the clearance of ceftazidime in high flux hemodialysis.
Increasing risk of impaired renal function as a result of obesity is well known. Early data has postulated that weight loss might improve kidney function, but the evidence is rather limited due to the difficulties in measuring glomerular filtration rate(GFR) after weight loss. Cystatin C, GFR measurement using Cockcroft-Gault (CCG) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations, have all yield conflicting results after weight loss surgery. The study aim to assess: 1. use of 51Cr-EDTA Clearance as the methodological gold standard in evaluating changes in renal function before and after weight loss surgery. 2. the reliability of using MDRD, CCG and Cystatin C in measuring GFR after weight loss surgery 3. the differences in alterations in renal function dependent on the surgical procedures( gastric bypass, gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy). 4. the use of urine albumin/creatinine ratio in detecting alterations in microalbuminuria.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, parallel-group, mono-center, single intravenous dose, Phase I trial to investigate the Pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of cilengitide in subjects with different grades of renal impairment as compared to subjects with normal renal function.
The purpose of this study is to determine soluble HJV could be an early diagnosis urinary biomarker of ischemia/reperfusion injury in post CPB-patients.
It is hypothesized that zirconium silicate is safe and well tolerated and more effective than placebo (alternative hypothesis) in lowering serum potassium levels in subjects with serum potassium between 5 - 6.0 mmol/l versus no difference between zirconium silicate and placebo (null hypothesis). It is hypothesized that zirconium silicate even up to the top dose of 10g three times a day is well tolerated.
This is a human pharmacology, single-dose study to investigate the pharmacokinetics of orally administered Levetiracetam (LEV) in Japanese subjects with normal renal function and in Japanese subjects with various degrees of impaired renal function.
This is a phase III, multi-centre, randomised, placebo-controlled, patient and investigator-blind study in paediatric patients with early stages of Alport syndrome to assess the safety and efficacy of the ACEi ramipril in slowing disease progression. Alport syndrome stages that describe the extent of renal damage and loss of function are defined as: - 0 Microhaematuria without microalbuminuria (usually at birth) - I Microalbuminuria (30-300 mg albumin/gCrea) - II Proteinuria >300 mg albumin/gCrea - III > 25% decline of normal renal function (creatinine clearance) - IV End stage renal failure (ESRF) Eligible patients with Alport stages 0 and I will be randomly assigned at a 2:1 ratio to receive once daily ramipril or placebo. In addition, Alport stage II patients may be treated open Label. Eligible patients who, or whose parents/legal guardian refuse randomisation after eligibility is confirmed, and patients who have been treated with ramipril prior to the study, may be treated open-label with ramipril as per protocol. The total number of patients will not exceed 120, with the number of randomised patients not exceeding 60, and the number of patients treated open label from Day 1 of the study aimed to be approximately 60. Randomised patients whose disease progresses to the next disease level during the 3 year treatment period will be unblinded, and open label ramipril treatment will be initiated and continued, respectively, depending on prior treatment randomisation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lumiracoxib in this particular population is associated with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared to diclofenac; and to compare the magnitude of such impairment, if any, associated with use of lumiracoxib and diclofenac.
Primary objective: To compare the pharmacokinetic profile of Glymera (PB1023) Injection after a single dose administered by subcutaneous injection to subjects with normal renal function and impaired renal function. Secondary objectives: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Glymera (PB1023) Injection administered as a subcutaneous injection in adult subjects with normal renal function and impaired renal function.
The objective of this study is to determine whether the finger tip images captured by the EPIC ClearView device, when analyzed via the ClearView software, produce a Response Scale that characterizes trends consistent with known diagnoses identified by medical doctors. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that the organ system involving any of a series of known active diagnoses will be identified in the EPIC ClearView Response Scale report with the intention of providing potential triage capabilities.
