NCT ID: NCT02830438 Terminated - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Disease

Shear Wave Elastography in Native Kidney Disease

Start date: July 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this proposal, the aim is to examine shear wave elastography (SWE) measurements in diseased native kidneys and correlate them with grades of fibrosis using histological samples. The overall goals of the proposed study are addressed by the following specific aim. Specific aim: To determine whether differences exist in elasticity measurements between native kidneys with and without fibrosis. Hypothesis: Kidneys with higher grades of fibrosis will demonstrate higher measures of tissue elasticity and stiffness compared to kidneys with zero fibrosis.

NCT ID: NCT01575015 Terminated - Liver Failure Clinical Trials

Intraoperative Dialysis in Liver Transplantation

INCEPTION
Start date: May 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patient with liver failure waiting for liver transplantation are often hospitalized and commonly supported in an intensive care unit prior to surgery. These patients are sick, and in addition to the complications of a failing liver, other organs such as the kidneys often fail as well. As a consequence, these patients are at an increased risk for complications related to their kidney failure during their liver transplantation procedure. One potential method to diminish the risk of these complications is to provide dialysis support to these patients during their liver transplantation in the operating theater in the form of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). While this is increasingly being performed and is theoretically appealing, there is very little information to support this practice. In addition, the use of CRRT during surgery is not entirely without risk. The investigators have performed two preliminary studies on the use of CRRT during liver transplantation and our data would strongly support the need to conduct further higher-quality studies to better evaluate its feasibility, safety and usefulness. Our proposed study is for a randomized trial comparing the use of CRRT during surgery with standard supportive care in sick patients with liver failure scheduled to receive a liver transplantation.
