Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine if low doses of BNP can improve renal function in people with chronic heart failure with renal dysfunction, also to determine whether Sildenafil assists with improvement. This study will enroll only hospitalized patients with heart failure.
Intradialytic hypotension (IH) is a major complication during acute hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dialysate temperature (DT) reduction with Na and ultrafiltration (UF) profiling on hemodynamics of critically ill acute kidney injury (AKI) patients submitted to sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED).
Purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of treatment with vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) compared with placebo in a trial including chronic kidney disease patients with vitamin D deficiency.
This observational study is conducted globally. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of real-life treatment with Norditropin®. The study population will consist of children and adults who are on treatment with Norditropin® in accordance with normal clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of dutogliptin in Type 2 diabetic subjects with moderate or severe renal impairment.
The purpose of this study is to measure the acute renal dysfunction on the first, second, seventh and twentieth days.
Transplantation is the preferred method of treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in children. Over the past forty years, the use of newer immunosuppressive drugs has decreased the risk for organ rejection considerably, and improved short-term outcomes. However, these costly and complicated life-long treatment regimens also cause serious side effects. This has been particularly true for children, who undergo treatment with these drugs at the same time they are transitioning, physically and emotionally, from childhood to adulthood. These factors lead to significantly reduced life-spans, decreased drug regimen adherence, and an increased need for re-transplantation, as compared with adults. Current immunosuppressive procedures and strategies for children mimic those for adults, despite the difference between the two populations' immune systems and needs. New strategies aimed at tailoring to an individual child's needs would both reduce the risk of complications and improve outcomes. The purpose of this study is to generate information which will help to change the current practice of pediatric transplantation into one that is more individualized and preventative.
1. To compare the differences of citrate pharmacokinetics in healthy individuals and critically ill patients as well as the influential factors. 2. To validate a pharmacokinetic model which has been established in a formal paper. 3. To create a safe and effective RCA-CRRT protocol.
Patients living with diabetes mellitus have double the risk of kidney failure compared to patients without diabetes following use of dye in many x−rays and procedures to diagnose and treat narrowing of the arteries (blood vessels) in the heart that can lead to angina or a heart attack. Heart disease is the commonest cause of death in patients with diabetes. People with diabetes are more likely to need these tests/treatments. By identifying those at greater risk of kidney complications we may be able to make these tests/treatments safer and offer them to more patients with diabetes.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequently underdiagnosed condition that has emerged as an increasing medical problem with important social and financial implications worldwide. OSA is a well established risk factor for systemic hypertension myocardial infarction or stroke and it has been documented that blood pressure rises in a very consistent fashion during apneic episodes. The incidence of the episodes of apnea during sleep causes repeated subclinical acute kidney injuries (AKI) contributing to the development of CKD. One of the mechanisms responsible for AKI might be endothelial injury followed by an increase of central aortic pressure.
