Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of VX-548 and its metabolite in participants with severe or moderate renal impairment and healthy participants.
This observational study aims to compare long-acting darbepoetin alpha versus short-acting epoetin alpha erythropoietin-stimulating agents in Egyptian hemodialysis patients. The main questions aim to answer are: - What are the effectiveness and safety of long- acting versus short-acting erythropoietin-stimulating agents in Egyptian hemodialysis patients? - What is the cost-effectiveness of long- acting versus short-acting erythropoietin-stimulating agents in Egyptian hemodialysis patients? Participants will be divided into 2 groups; epoetin alfa (short-acting ESA), Eprex group, and darbepoetin alfa (long-acting ESA), Aranesp group for six month study period.
Kidney transplant candidates undergo extensive diagnostic evaluation aimed at assessing their cardiovascular (CV) risk, which remains the leading cause of disability and death in this patient population. This includes among others an assessment of the iliac arterial calcification. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have an increased incidence of arterial calcifications due to many factors, such as increased age, hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia. Furthermore, the severity of pelvic arterial calcifications may impact the surgical planning of kidney transplantation (KT), choice of anastomosis site, complexity of the surgery, and patient and graft survival. Vascular calcifications are recognized as a good biomarker of overall cardiovascular burden. Although computerized tomography (CT) is the imaging modality of choice for calcification evaluation, compared to pelvic X-ray and Doppler ultrasound, it is not officially included in the guidelines of different international associations, which offer general recommendations for the assessment of iliac vessels. Nevertheless, centers are increasingly using CT in their pretransplant workup, either routinely or only in patients with increased CV risk. Also, impaired bone metabolism and its consequences have an important role in the development of vascular calcification. The investigators will determine the relationship between calcification burden of iliac arteries which will be assessed on CT and the serum level of bone remodeling biomarkers, including parathyroid hormone, (PTH), calcium, phosphates, OPG/RANK/RANKL (engl. osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κΒ/RANK ligand) and Gla-Rich protein (GLP). According to investigator knowledge, this will be the first prospective study that will correlate the degree of iliac arteries calcification based on CT analyses with the serum level of various bone remodeling markers, and their impact on clinical outcome in kidney transplant recipients. The investigators expect this research to improve insights into incidence and distribution of iliac artery calcifications in patients following kidney transplantation, their correlation with clinical data and bone remodeling markers and confirm the appropriateness of using computerized tomography in a routine pretransplantation work-up.
This is a multi-center, open-label, parallel-group study to evaluate oral doses of INCB054707 in participants with varying levels of renal function or impairment.
In this study, the effect of optimizing the dialytic technique using simple questionnaires carried out in clinical routine will be described. More specifically, the conventional dialysis technique will be combined with biofeedback software called HemoControl™. The recovery time and quality of life of patients who will use a polyethersulfone membrane (Revaclear®) and a Medium Cut-Off (MCO) membrane (Theranova®) will be observed. The main objective is to describe the evolution of recovery time after a dialysis session in conventional hemodialysis (HD) on Revaclear® membrane and in so-called optimized hemodialysis (HDx) on MCO membrane, Theranova®.
The aim of this study is to learn about the safety of empagliflozin in dialysis patients as a preparation for a future large clinical trial. Empagliflozin has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of either type 2 diabetes, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease among patients not on dialysis. The use of empagliflozin has not been studied or approved among patients on dialysis for kidney failure because empagliflozin acts on the kidneys. However, recent experimental studies have indicated that empagliflozin may provide direct heart benefits. Some dialysis patients have substantial residual kidney function, which may be protected by empagliflozin. Participants will be given empagliflozin for three (3) months on top of the standard of care (usual medical care for participants' condition) and will be followed up until one (1) month after the last dose. The investigators will collect information about participants' general health, obtain blood, urine, and imaging studies, check home blood pressure, monitor home blood sugar levels, and ask health-related questions to assess the safety and potential benefits of empagliflozin over four (4) months, including one month before the three (3)-month empagliflozin treatment.
The primary purpose of the study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) following a single oral dose administration of brensocatib, safety, and tolerability of brensocatib when administered to participants with impaired renal function and in healthy participants.
This is a three-part study of MK-2060 in participants with chronic and/or end-stage kidney disease. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single subcutaneous dose of MK-2060 in stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD4) or stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD5) participants in Part 1, of multiple subcutaneous doses in CKD4 or CKD5 participants in Part 2, and of a single subcutaneous dose of MK-2060 in participants with end-stage kidney disease in Part 3. The primary hypothesis is that, in Part 1, the true geometric mean of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) after a single-dose of MK-2060 in adult CKD4 or CKD5 participants is at least 11300 nM*hr.
The goal of this prospective, observational, multicentre cohort study is to assess the trajectory of the experiences (both positive and negative) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of informal caregivers of patients who start home dialysis, and compare these to experiences and HRQOL of informal caregivers of patients who start in-centre hemodialysis. The investigators hypothesise that informal caregivers of home dialysis patients experience more positive experiences, but also more negative experiences, and still have better HRQoL, compared with caregivers of in-centre HD patients. Participants will fill in five different validated questionnaires and questions on required support. Participants are asked to fill in the questionnaires after inclusion (i.e., start of dialysis), and at 6 and 12 months after start dialysis.
Acute renal failure is a frequent complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality in postoperative cardiac surgery. The VExUS (Venous Excess UltraSound grading system) score was created to qualitatively assess this venous congestion, based on ultrasound data from patients obtained post operatively in cardiac surgery. These data included: inferior vena cava diameter, Doppler flow of the suprahepatic veins, portal trunk and renal veins. This score is predictive of the onset of acute renal failure in the first 3 days after surgery. The VExUS score has not been validated in an external and prospective way in cardiac surgery.
