Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the ease of use, preference, and safety after 8 weeks subcutaneous administration of EutropinPen Inj. in patients pretreated with recombinant human growth hormone by reusable device.
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a frequent complication in the postoperative cardiac surgery, and is a major risk factor for mortality in this context. The right ventricular dysfunction post cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is also a common complication, close to 100% if one takes into account the transient dysfunction. A recent study showed that right ventricular dysfunction and the IRA seemed related, rather on the slope of venous congestion. We wish to study this phenomenon more specifically in particular to offer reliable diagnostic markers of venous congestion.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of oral administration of probiotics on the metabolism of uremic toxins, in the patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). One hundred and fifty hemodialysis patients are recruited, and a Double Blind Randomized Parallel Controlled Trial was performed.The microbiota-derived uremic toxin, such as indoxyl sulfate and p-cresol sulfate, are measured as Primary Outcome. The Fecal microbiome, fecal metabolites, blood metabolites, defecation, Gastrointestinal Symptoms The Kidney Disease Quality of Life and The Occurrence of Cardiovascular Event are also assessed.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences of gut Microbiome/Metabolite between ESRD patients and healthy subjects. Two hundred and twenty three hemodialysis patients and 70 healthy subjects are recruited, and a cross-sectional study is performed.
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, parallel-group, adaptive, single dose study. This study will enroll up to 32 participants using an adaptive design that can include up to 3 groups of 8 participants with different degree of renal impairment and one group of 8 control participants with normal renal function. Screening data will be reviewed to determine participant eligibility. Participants who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be entered in the study. First, approximately 16 participants will be enrolled with severe renal impairment and matched participants with normal renal function. There will be 8 participants in each of the following groups based on renal function at screening: - Group 1: Healthy participants with normal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥ 90 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared [mL/min/1.73m²]) - Group 2: Severe renal impairment participants (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m²) Based on safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) results from participants with severe renal impairment (Group 2), Group 3 (Moderate Renal Impairment) and Group 4 (Mild Renal Impairment) will be enrolled if substantial change in the exposure of lasmiditan is observed in participants with severe renal impairment.
Despite many efforts to increase the size of the donor pool, there is a large and growing disparity between the number of donor kidneys available for transplantation and the number of patients on the transplant waiting list. Increasing the quality of currently available donor kidneys would potentially improve the longevity of deceased donor kidney transplants by years, thus increasing the rate of transplantation patients on the kidney transplant waiting list. In addition, recipients of higher quality kidneys have shorter hospital stays and lower total hospital charges. By innovating the organ donation process, such that deceased donor kidneys are removed prior to the cessation of cardiac activity, rather than after, it may be possible to improve the quality of the kidney before transplantation, resulting in improved function after transplantation and increased longevity of these transplanted kidneys. Further, this improved kidney quality is highly likely to translate to reduced need for renal dialysis and other high-cost interventions, yielding lower total hospital charges. In this study we will test the hypothesis that, through a cost-free technical innovation, the quality of deceased donor kidneys could be improved significantly, saving thousands more lives per year and reducing total health care expenditures on renal transplantation.
To evaluate in patients with chronic kidney disease the impact of two dosages of per os vitamin D3 supplementation (cholecalciferol) on large arterial stiffness (evaluated non invasively by pulse wave velocity and high-resolution echotracking system). We will also study arterial calcification (lateral abdominal radiography and echocardiogram), arterial remodeling (high-resolution echotracking system), endothelial function (evaluated by a non-invasive finger biosensor device), and bone remodeling (evaluated by serum biomarkers and bone mineral density).
E7080-A001-010 is a multicenter, parallel-group study in participants with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic or renal impairment and age-, gender-, and smoking status-matched healthy participants. The primary objective of the study is to obtain plasma from participants for use in in vitro protein binding studies.
In patients with Fabry disease, this research study explores the presence of podocytes in their urine as a potential non-invasive biomarker for baseline kidney disease; and explores changes in the quantity of podocytes in their urine over time as a predictor for kidney disease progression. To accomplish this, the investigators will evaluate the quantification of podocytes in the urine of Fabry disease patients at baseline and longitudinally over time. This study requires a single patient visit, during which the patient provides a urine specimen. The research team will then collect the patient's kidney function data proximate to the time of urine collection, and follow the patient's kidney function data longitudinally over the five years of this study by reviewing their medical charts. The study offers no interventions.
