Filter by:This is a multi-center, open-labeled, non-comparative study to examine the safety and efficacy of ASP1585 for long-term dosing in chronic kidney disease and hyperphosphatemia patients on hemodialysis.
The purpose of this study is to observe the effectiveness and safety of the use of a low initial dose regime (iPTH/100) in chronic kidney disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (PTH>300pg/mL) and that require dialysis at least 3 times per week.
The researchers investigated the influence of a prostacyclin analogue (PGIA) versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) on ex vivo platelet function, during continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration.
This study will investigate how the levels of a single dose of CTAP101 changes in the body over time (pharmacokinetics, PK) and how CTAP101 affects other mineral and hormonal balances (pharmacodynamics, PD) in patients with Stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) with vitamin D insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether daptomycin at a higher dose given during the last 30 minutes of a dialysis session is equal to a lower dose of daptomycin given after a dialysis session.
This study investigates the relationship between autonomic dysfunction and chronic inflammation in hemodialysis patients.
Critically ill patients in the intensive care unit often receive continuous hemodialysis to treat their kidney failure. Ertapenem is an antibiotic often used in these patients. Continuous dialysis may remove ertapenem, putting patients at risk for inappropriate treatment of their infection. This study will determine how much ertapenem is removed by continuous hemodialysis.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of 60% ethanol lock solution in preventing major catheter related infections in critically ill patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare the absorption of dietary phosphorus following a single dose with lanthanum carbonate (1000mg) and a single dose of sevelamer carbonate (2400mg).
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is the leading cause of admission to hospital in the US, and is associated with high mortality, morbidity, and major cost to the health care system. Much of this cost relates to prolonged hospitalizations from acute deterioration in kidney function (AKI), which in turn is associated with further cardiovascular events such as recurrent ADHF. Strategies for early detection minimization and prevention of AKI would therefore be of tremendous benefit to both the patient and the health care system. A common reason for hospitalization in ADHF is that of altered volume status and renal impairment. Also, many patients with ADHF have underlying hypertension and/or a recent acute coronary syndrome. Hypertension, diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and diabetes is the leading cause of CKD. Therefore, patients presenting with ADHF are at high risk for CV events, more so if they develop AKI. Therefore, strategies to detect changes in renal status early may allow for more rapid intervention with appropriate drug and other therapies to attenuate AKI and subsequent complications, which may in turn result in prevention of early readmissions with HF. Most ADHF patients have underlying chronic heart failure (CHF). CHF is a major cost to the health care system. About two thirds of this cost relates to hospitalization for acute deterioration in heart failure (HF). Strategies to minimize or prevent HF hospitalization therefore are of tremendous benefit to both the patient and the health care system. The most frequent reason for hospitalization in a CHF patient is that of altered volume status and renal impairment. Therefore, as with ADHF, strategies for early detection of changes in renal status may allow for intervention with appropriate drug and other therapies to attenuate, or even prevent, the need for the patient to return to hospital. Many approaches have been studied in relation to this concept. Deterioration in renal function is a harbinger of a need for hospitalization, and indeed a predictor of medium term mortality. However, current measures of renal function are relatively crude with a considerable lag between an insult to the kidney and its translation to a measurable deterioration in renal function reflected by worsening serum creatinine. Thus, diagnostic tests that evaluate renal injury which are modulated early in the time course of this process may have considerable utility not only in the ADHF setting but also in predicting decompensation in the CHF setting.
