Filter by:Fabry disease is a rare genetic disease characterized by an enzyme deficiency, called alpha-galactosidase A, which normally breaks down a lipid, is missing or does not function properly. As a result, the lipid accumulates in the body, this leads to multisystem impairment, including progressive renal failure. Several studies have focused on the detection of this disease in end-stage renal failure patients, transplant or hemodialysis. This study aims to diagnose the Fabry patients earlier, among men aged 18-60 years with a glomerular filtration rate estimated by MDRD between 60 and 15 ml/min/1, 73m2, or between 90 and 60 ml/min/1, 73m2 in association with proteinuria greater than 0.3 g / g or creatinine level greater than 0,5 g/l. This screening will be conducted by a blood test to measure the level of alpha-galactosidase A activity by micromethod from samples taken from blood spots on filter paper. If this assay was positive, confirmation of diagnosis of Fabry disease will done the standard method: macrodosage of leukocytic alpha-galactosidase A activity. This multicenter prospective study, openly contacted in medical practice, with patient follow-up corresponding to the management of renal insufficiency, will be offered to all departments of nephrology and dialysis for adults in the Provence - Alpes - Côte d'Azur. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of Fabry disease in the target population and to identify previously undiagnosed patients, enabling them to benefit from appropriate management of their disease, including whether need enzyme replacement therapy.
The primary purpose of the trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetics (behaviour of the compound in the body) of safinamide in subjects with different degrees of renal impairment in comparison to matched subjects with normal renal function.
To identify the risk factors of the revisit of the adult HF patients in emergency department.
This study will be assessing the pharmacokinetics of NKTR-118 in subjects with renal impairment compared to that in subjects with normal renal function.
This is a multi center, open label, parallel group, single administration, phase I trial, in subjects with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment and a control group with normal renal function.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of PF-04991532 in subjects with renal impairment.
Several studies have shown that renal function in patients who have donated a kidney (but are otherwise healthy) remains stable and within normal limits. However, it is unclear how donor nephrectomy affects patient subsets with comorbidities, an issue that becomes relevant in the current environment where inclusion criteria are continuously becoming less stringent and more patients are being considered as potential donors. In the present study, the investigators plan to evaluate long-term renal function in obese patients who have donated a kidney as part of a living donor renal transplant procedure. The investigators have selected this group because it is at higher risk for developing obesity-related complications such as diabetes and hypertension that may impair renal function, it is rapidly becoming a major subgroup in the kidney donor population, and no studies have systematically followed obese patients after kidney donation. Establishment of an appropriate control group is of primary importance in studies examining long-term outcomes. The investigators will also evaluate a 2-kidney control group to allow us to compare the individual and interactive effects of obesity and kidney donation on long-term renal function. Study participants will complete a medical questionnaire, undergo blood pressure measurements, and provide blood and urine samples for analysis of various metabolic parameters. Some study participants will have ambulatory blood pressure monitoring performed which involves application of an automated blood pressure cuff for 24 hours. Some study participants will also undergo direct measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with iohexol. In the proposed research, the investigators hypothesize that obesity in kidney donors increases the likelihood of developing renal dysfunction and risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and may increase the likelihood even more than in healthy controls.
This study is evaluating the Pharmacokinetics of MNTX in healthy control subjects and in patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment who do not require hemodialysis.
Studies have shown that more than 30% of the overall acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients develop renal dysfunction. Several studies have tried to find a correlation between hemodynamic Parameters (blood pressure , heart rate, central venous pressure CVP) and worsening of renal function in acute decompensated heart failure patients. Results showed that there were no correlation between baseline hemodynamics or change in hemodynamics and worsening of renal function. Another study showed that intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measuring was a better corollary to renal failure status then measuring cardiovascular hemodynamics using pulmonary artery catheterization in ADHF patients.. An increased IAP was associated with worse renal function and that level of IAP far below abdominal compartment syndrome may adversely affect renal function in patients with ADHF.
This study is to characterize the effect of cobicistat-based regimens on parameters of renal function in subjects with HIV infection and who have mild to moderate renal impairment, and to assess the safety and tolerability of the regimens in order to generate appropriate dosing recommendations.
