Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fimasartan in patients with hypertensive diabetic chronic kidney disease.
Background: Poor flow (PF) and catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) are highly prevalent among CKD 5D patients with long-term central venous catheters. Heparin (H) catheter lock solutions are commonly used to maintain catheter patency, however PF and CRBSI incidence remains high. The purpose of this study was to evaluate two lock solutions on reduction of PF and CRBSI: one, a lock solution combining of the tetracycline antibiotic minocycline with the anticoagulant/chelation agent EDTA (M-EDTA) versus H; and other, trisodium citrate (C) versus H. M-EDTA and C were also evaluated as to their safety versus H. Methods:As regards the pilot project, thirty CKD 5D patients on high-efficiency hemodialysis (blood flow rate = 350 ml/min) at the Integrated Centre of Nephrology (Guarulhos, Brazil) were randomized 1:1:1 to receive M-EDTA, C or H locks for 15 weeks. Lock solutions concentrations were M-EDTA 30 mg/ml/3 mg/ml, C 30% (C) and H 1,000 U/ml and both investigators and patients were blinded to treatment allocation. The primary end-point was a 10% reduction in HD blood flow rates (35ml). The frequency of CRBSI was recorded. Bleeding and lock solution-related adverse events were the primary safety end points. Logistic Regression was performed to evaluate differences in PF rates among the treatments (SPSS version 13.0, IBM, USA). Based upon the pilot-study data, the clinical trials has being executed in order to verify whether the three lock solutions have the same performance or not.
This study is not intended to treat anemia of chronic kidney disease but to determine the safety of the study drug, LY3113593. The study will also evaluate how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream, how long it takes the body to remove the study drug, and what effect the study drug has on the body. The study consists of up to three parts. Participants may only enroll in one part. Participants will receive up to four injections of LY3113593 or placebo into a vein. The study will last up to about 26 weeks including screening and follow-up.
ICD-Pieces (Parkland Intelligent e-Coordination and Evaluation System) trial is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Healthcare Systems(HCS) Collaboratory demonstration project to improve management of patients with a triad of Chronic Kidney Disease, hypertension and diabetes with Pieces in four HCS including Parkland, Texas Health Resources (THR), ProHealth Physicians Incorporation and North Texas VA. Pieces is a decision support technology platform created by Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation(PCCI). The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that a collaborative model of primary care and subspecialty care intervention enhanced by Pieces and practice facilitators compared to standard clinical practice will reduce all-cause hospitalizations in patients with coexisting chronic kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension. Secondary objectives are: a)Test if implementation of the collaborative model will reduce 30-day readmissions, emergency room visits, cardiovascular events or deaths and disease-specific hospitalizations; b) Develop and validate risk predictive models for disease-specific hospitalizations, all-cause hospitalizations, 30-day readmissions, emergency room visits, cardiovascular events and deaths for patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension. c) Collect demographic and clinical data to assist phenotyping patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension. d) Obtain safety data including Acute Kidney Injury, progression of chronic kidney disease, electrolyte disturbances and medication errors, and drug toxicity; e) Collect resource utilization information including hospitalizations, emergency room visits, outpatient visits, and diagnostic or therapeutic procedures completed. Candidate patients in selected clinics will be enrolled over a period of 2 years and followed for 12 months. Pieces will ascertain both primary and secondary outcomes from the Electronic Health Record supported with data from the Dallas Fort Worth Hospital Council (DFWHC), Accountable Care Organization (ACO) reports and VA database, and deaths from Social Security Index (SSI) data.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of two novel interventions; (1) a value-based formulary which eliminates copayment for selected high-value medications (proven to prevent heart attacks, stroke, and hospitalizations); and (2) a comprehensive patient education program aimed at lifestyle modification and optimal drug use, combined with relay of information on medication use, on the risk of adverse clinical outcomes (mortality, heart attack, stroke, need for coronary revascularization, and chronic disease related hospitalizations) in low-income seniors with chronic conditions over three years of follow-up or until March 31, 2021 (whichever comes first).
The proposed randomized controlled trial will test the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with sodium nitrite and isoquercetin on endothelial function and inflammation among patients with chronic kidney disease.
The annual report of USRDS shows than Taiwan has the highest prevalence of end-stage-renal-disease globally resulted in high prevalence dialysis rate. The major factors associated with chronic renal failure are age, diabetes, hypertension, chronic glomerulonephritis, metabolic syndrome, smoke, hepatitis C, painkiller and herbals. Chronic kidney disease may lead to various metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. And these possible prognostic factors associating with the disease progression and ultimately increase the morbidity and mortality. End-stage renal failure is an irreversible course often with clinical manifestations of edema, fatigue, anemia and uremic pruritus. Patients often use Chinese medicine or acupuncture to help them to ease the symptom. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of combined Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine daycare model for chronic kidney disease patients. The study approach to investigate whether combination of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine daycare model can improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life as well as the laboratory biochemistries data.
Randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded interventional trial to investigate the effect of oral magnesium supplementation on vascular calcification in subjects with chronic kidney disease. We hypothesize that oral magnesium supplementation will reduce vascular calcification in subjects with chronic kidney disease while not decreasing bone mineral density.
The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate whether, in addition to standard of care, finerenone is superior to placebo in delaying the progression of kidney disease, as measured by the composite endpoint of time to first occurrence of kidney failure, a sustained decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥40% from baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death.
The two doses of sodium bicarbonate being tested are 0.5 and 0.8 mEq/kg-lean body weight (LBW) per day. Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, may help prevent kidney failure in people with chronic kidney disease. However, the dose to prescribe in order to test this possibility in a clinical trial is uncertain. The BASE pilot clinical trial will help determine the best dose of sodium bicarbonate to prescribe in a future study that will test the long-term safety and efficacy of sodium bicarbonate as a treatment to preserve kidney function in individuals with chronic kidney disease.
