Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Brazil nut supplementation on inflammation, oxidative stress and intestinal microbiota in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing conservative treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the feasibility of remote clinical trial conduct in patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated albuminuria. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the feasibility (and advantages) of remote clinical trial conduct with multiple medications in patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated albuminuria? - What is the individual response to the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in urine albumin-creatinine ratio? - What is the individual response to the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in systolic blood pressure, body weight, eGFR, and fasting plasma glucose? - Can suboptimal treatment responses to empagliflozin be overcome by the addition or substitution with finerenone? Participants will collect all study data in the comfort of their own environments - First-morning void urine samples - Capillary blood samples - Blood pressure - Body weight Participants will be assigned to a 3-week treatment period with empagliflozin 10 mg/day. Based on the albuminuria response after 2 weeks, participants will be allocated to one of three treatment regimens after the 3-week treatment period with empagliflozin: - Continue empagliflozin for 4 more weeks (good response). - Continue empagliflozin for 4 more weeks and add finerenone 10 or 20 mg will be added for 4 weeks (moderate response). - Stop empagliflozin and start finerenone 10 or 20 mg for 4 weeks (no response)
The PortIO is intended to provide non-emergent vascular access in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients where preservation of venous anatomy is desired and iatrogenic damage to the veins should be avoided and/or patients with poor/difficult vascular access. The PortIO device may be inserted into the proximal or distal tibia or the proximal humerus in adults, and provides up to 60 days of intraosseous vascular access for delivery of fluids and medications.
The goal of this clinical pre-post study is to evaluate the effect of using a CKD dashboard, which visualizes individual patient data in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3b-4, and is used to structure the conversation during patient-clinician health visits. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • what is the effect of the dashboard on patient activation levels (or outcomes related to patient activation)? • What is the effect of the dashboard on the conversation during health visits, including Shared Decision Making (SDM), Motivational interviewing (MI) and conversation topics? Participants will receive three surveys and have two routine care follow up consultations with their clinician audio recorded. Researchers will compare the same patients before and after implementation as well as compare them with patients in another hospital where no dashboard is (yet) implemented to see if patient activation levels (and related outcomes) increase, and whether there is an increase in SDM, MI and a difference in conversation topics.
Leveraging a unique combination of synchronized web and mobile applications, this 3 year SBIR Phase II project will fully develop and pilot test My Kidney Guru-a program that will offer pediatric patients with CKD developmentally appropriate, interactive, and engaging instruction and practice opportunities to build knowledge and skills to manage CKD.
Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir is approved for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) but not initially recommended in patients with severe renal impairment. Increasing observational data have shown the feasibility of dose-adjusted nirmatrelvir-ritonavir administration in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate lower than 30 ml/min/1.73 m^2. The study is planned to assess the safety, clinical and virologic outcomes of early oral nirmatrevir-ritonavir treatment of COVID-19 in patients with stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease.
This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in children with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease (CKD), secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and vitamin D insufficiency.
The KDOQI 2020 - Clinical practice guideline for nutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) -recommends protein restriction to reduce the risk of end-stage renal disease/death and improve quality of life, a low protein diet providing 0.55-0.60g dietary protein/ kg body weight/day is recommended. FLAVIS® is a product line of hypoprotein foods specially developed for the treatment of CKD.The use of low-protein foods may facilitate the achievement of nutritional goals in terms of protein intake and help patients to follow a low-protein diet.
This is an Open-Label Rollover Extension Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of KT-301 (formerly US-APR2020) in Subjects With CKD IV Who Completed the US-APR2020-01 Study
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the compound sulforaphane that boosts the activity of antioxidant genes in the body to combat oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has been shown experimentally to play a role in kidney disease. This drug has been tested in patients with breast cancer who have normal kidney function, but has never been tested in patients with kidney disease. In this study, the investigators will establish a safe dose for patients with chronic kidney disease based on blood levels achieved in patients with normal kidney function.
