Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to assess dietary protein requirements in clinically stable maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. It is hypothesized that the average dietary protein intake (DPI) that will maintain nitrogen balance is 1.00 g protein/kg/day, but that a safe intake that maintains balance in almost all MHD patients is about 1.25g protein/kg/day.
The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of normal and impaired renal function on the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of linagliptin following oral administration of 5 mg daily for 7 days (Groups 1 to 3), 5 mg daily for 10 days (Groups 6 and 7), or as a single dose (Groups 4 and 5)
Study to assess the effects of varying degrees of renal dysfunction and hepatic insufficiency on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of nevirapine and nevirapine metabolites in order to establish an appropriate dose and/or dosing frequency for renally- and hepatically-impaired patients
To assess the effect of different degrees of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dabigatran etexilate administered orally.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy, in particular with regard to renal function of telmisartan at the doses of 40 mg and 80 mg in hypertensive patients with moderate to endstage renal impairment after 12 weeks of treatment
Study to investigate pharmacokinetics of a single i.v. dose of tiotropium (4.8 mcg) in patients with renal impairment in comparison to healthy subjects.
Study to assess the influence of severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and selected pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of BI 1744 CL (30 μg administered by inhalation with the Respimat® Inhaler)
This study was designed to provide confirmation of safety of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy in chronic renal failure due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
Some medications are known to cause kidney damage because the person is allergic to the medication while others cause direct damage to the kidney because they are toxic at certain concentrations. Risk factors for developing kidney damage have been identified for some medications but not for all. Patients who are exposed to these important medications and develop problems with their kidneys may have some genetic risk. The purpose of this study is to determine the genetic risk factors for drug induced kidney injury. A better understanding of the role of genetics for the development of kidney injury from medications will allow us to better select medications, improve effectiveness of treatment and minimize harm.
Arterial hypertension causes adverse effects on the entire cardiovascular system, with effects centrally such as diastolic dysfunction and structural changes of the left ventricle and, peripherally such as endothelial dysfunction and increased thickness of the vessels. Co-existing diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, sleep apnea, etc. further aggravate the prognosis of these patients. In addition the rate of patients aged > 65 years suffering from un-diagnosed or diagnosed arterial hypertension was 78% for women and 64% for male patients. This population consists from elderly or very elderly patients (over 65 and 80 years respectively) who exhibit more comorbidities and probably less compliance with antihypertensive therapy. Finally, at every age the disease and its effects can affect the quality of life of patients. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of antihypertensive therapy (irbesartan alone or in combination with amplodipine and carvedilol) on the cardiovascular system (diastolic left ventricular function, the function of the endothelium (FMD) and the thickness of the common carotid artery). The secondary objective of the study is to monitor the quality of life (Quality of Life - QoL) of patients. Additionally the investigators will seek the correlation of results with co-morbidities, compliance, and patient age.
