Filter by:This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design study. The study will enroll approximately 210 adult male and female subjects with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease and metabolic acidosis. The study dosing (TRC101 or placebo) will continue for 12 weeks once daily. The maximum study duration is anticipated to be up to 16 weeks.
The aim of this study is to test if alkali treatment will preserve kidney graft function and diminish the progression of chronic kidney disease in renal transplant patients. Additionally the underlying mechanisms of nephrotoxicity of metabolic acidosis will be investigated in this cohort. This study is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, single-blind (patient), placebo-controlled interventional trial to test the superiority of alkali treatment in comparison to placebo on preservation of kidney function in 300 kidney transplant recipients. The duration of the study will be 2 years for the individual participant. The patients will be randomized into 2 arms: intervention arm (sodium hydrogen carbonate, product: Nephrotrans®) and placebo arm (placebo comparator). Several studies in CKD (chronic kidney disease) patients have shown that alkali therapy slows progression of CKD.
Metabolic acidosis recovers a wide range of diseases in which an oral alkalinization could be useful. This therapeutic intervention has been said to increase extracellular volume leading to rising blood pressure. No prospective data has been published in clinical routine. Here, investigators propose to follow patients in which an oral alkalinization is indicated: blood pressure, body weight, and a clinical evaluation of the extracellular compartment will be performed at the beginning and during the follow-up of participants. The principal criterion of evaluation will be the variation in the extracellular compartment.
This is a single-center, observational study. Investigators aim to characterize the metabolism of lactate in children over the first forty-eight hours following cardiac surgery. Blood samples will be obtained up to 12 timepoints. Samples will be analyzed for concentration of pyruvate. Results will be compared to standard of care laboratory results for lactate and other direct and indirect measures of cardiac output.
Children with diabetic ketoacidosis risk neurological complications such as cerebral edema with high morbidity. To prevent cerebral edema, it is essential to control correction of hypovolemia, hyperglycemia and natremia. Markers usually used in management of diabetic ketoacidosis don't always permit an optimal care. Plasma copeptin levels reflect vasopressin secretion which is high in diabetic ketoacidosis. Therefore, monitoring of plasma copeptin levels could be of interest in children with diabetic ketoacidosis and risk of sévère neurological complications.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adult DKA patients who present to the emergency department treated with early subcutaneous long acting insulin versus standard care receive a shorter total duration of intravenous (IV) insulin infusion.
Low serum bicarbonate levels, even within the normal laboratory range, are strongly associated with increased risks of hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and death. The current proposal will investigate whether bicarbonate administration in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will improve the health and function of arteries and reduce the size of the left ventricle of the heart. Overall, the proposed research will provide important new scientific evidence upon which physicians can base recommendations to patients with CKD to decrease the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
This study evaluates the effect of oral sodium bicarbonate treatment on the intrarenal renin-angiotensin-system in adult patients with a metabolic acidosis and chronic kidney disease. This treatment is compared to sodium chloride treatment, which serves as control for increased sodium-intake and no treatment, which serves as time-control.
This study is a pilot study taking place in Moshi, Tanzania at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC). The study aims to introduce fetal scalp stimulation into the intermittent auscultation protocols at KCMC, and to validate whether or not a handheld Doppler device can perform the fetal scalp stimulation test accurately.
This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, 6-arm, fixed dose study. The study enrolled 135 adult male and female subjects with Stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease and low serum bicarbonate levels. The study was conducted in two parts. In Part 1 study drug dosing (TRC101 or placebo) continued for 14 days twice daily (BID). In Part 2 study drug dosing (TRC101 or placebo) continued for 14 days once daily (QD). The maximum study duration per subject was anticipated to be up to 42 days.
