Remote ischemic preconditioning is a process of serial blood pressure cuff inflations and deflations that are performed prior to a procedure and have been shown in various other areas (coronary bypass surgery, vascular surgery, ST elevation myocardial infarctions) to decrease the rates of adverse events related to ischemic burden and renal injury. This procedure has not yet been studied in the population presenting with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), even though ACS patients represent the majority of patients seen in the catheterization lab. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this simple and safe procedure in this particular population.
Open label single center study for the donation of HCV positive kidneys to HCV negative recipients with interventional treatment to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.
Malnutrition is an important complication of advanced kidney disease and impairment in smell and taste may affect nutritional status. This study will examine the association between impairment in smell and taste and nutritional and functional markers among patients with end stage renal disease, as well as risk factors for smell and taste impairment.
Adequate dosing of antiinfective therapy in critically ill patients with impaired or lost renal function or continuous renal replacement therapy is nearly impossible without measuring the drug concentration in blood samples. In many hospitals that is still not an option. The investigators aim to show, that computer based calculation can avoid over- or under-dosing.
The objective of the study is to determine whether tele-consulting for the follow up of patients with renal failure under peritoneal dialysis would not increase the risk of experiencing a severe adverse event
To validate on the mid-term in moderate and severe renal failure (CKD 3-4) a nomogram to adapt a fixed metformin daily posology according to renal function on the basis of the first short-term study made by the investigators.
In this study, the investigators will conduct a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the impact of offering mobile secure text messaging on clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the percentage of participants with sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the actual end of study treatment (SVR12)
The investigators aim to address whether terlipressin improves the renal outcome after liver surgery. Therefore the investigators are planning to conduct a double-blinded randomized control trial. The investigators will randomize patients undergoing any kind of liver surgery and being at increased moderate to high risk for post-operative acute renal failure into a control group receiving post- operative a placebo or into a group receiving post-operatively terlipressin in combination with human albumin.
