The goal of this clinical trial was to compare transdermal glomerular filtration rate (tGFR) to plasma-derived indexed (to body surface area; BSA) GFR (nGFR) using MB-102 (relmapirazin) as the fluorescent compound. Adults with kidney function ranging from normal to Stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and participants spanning the entire range of human skin colors as defined by the Fitzpatrick Skin Scale (FSS) were included in the study. The main questions that the study aimed to answer were: - To establish that the MB-102 transdermal fluorescence measured GFR using the MediBeacon Transdermal GFR Measurement System is comparable to the measured MB-102 plasma GFR - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of MB-102 in study participants - To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the MediBeacon Transdermal GFR Measurement System (TGFR) for the non-invasive transdermal fluorescence detection of MB-102 in participants Participants had a transdermal sensor placed on their upper chest, and the TGFR collected background fluorescence. Participants then received a single dose of MB-102. Blood samples were collected and fluorescent measurements were taken over a 12- to 24-hour period. Following completion of the treatment period, participants returned to the study center approximately 1 week later for a safety follow-up visit. Researchers compared the results to see if the transdermal GFR measurements were comparable to the measured plasma GFR in those with and without normal kidney function and different skin coloration.
This is an observational study in which patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD), type 2 diabetes (T2D) or heart failure (HF) who are current or past users of sMRA therapies are studied. sMRA stands for steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. CKD is a long-term, progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use insulin well resulting in high blood sugar levels. HF is a condition in which the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a hormone system that works with the kidneys to control blood pressure and the balance of fluid and electrolytes (like salt) in the blood. The RAAS has been a treatment target of heart and kidney diseases for decades. One of these classes of medications is called mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists (MRAs). MRAs work to directly block the action of a hormone called aldosterone. Aldosterone is produced naturally by the adrenal glands, and it can increase the blood volume and blood pressure. Using MRAs therapies can help prevent strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems. Spironolactone was the first available MRA in the US with its approval in 1960. Eplerenone is another MRA which has been available since 2002. Both spironolactone and eplerenone are known as steroidal MRA (sMRA) due to their chemical structures. The main purpose of this study is to collect more data on the characteristics of patients who are taking sMRA currently and those who have discontinued sMRA therapy in the past 12 months. To do this, patients who have received sMRA in the most recent 12 months will be invited to participate in the study and asked to complete surveys if they agree to join the study. Patients will be found from administrative claims in a database called HealthCore Integrated Research Database (HIRD). And the other purposes of the study are to learn more about: - the indications for sMRA therapy - the frequency and symptoms of reported side effects of sMRA treatment - the treatment satisfaction and effectiveness as well as potential reasons for treatment continuation/discontinuation of sMRA therapies Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are planned in this study. The participants will receive their treatments as prescribed by their doctors during routine practice according to the approved product information. Researchers will look at the health information from adult men and women in the US only if applicable who are current/past users of sMRA therapies with diagnosis of CKD or T2D or HF, consent to participate in the study.
This cross-sectional study was conducted, including those subjects tested for 1,25(OH)2D during Jan 2015-Dec 2021. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated and subjects were classified into chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages. Associations between biochemical marker, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, 1,25(OH)2D and CKD stages was determined.
Background: Scientists have long used simple measures (such as height and weight) to estimate how much a person s body uses food (calories) as energy, as commonly called the metabolic rate. But metabolism varies among people with similar body sizes. Scientists now believe the old formulas for estimating metabolic rates may not work well for all people. Researchers want to find more accurate ways to measure a person s metabolism. Objective: This natural history study will examine the relationships between metabolism, body composition, and body surface area in a wide range of people. Eligibility: Healthy children and adults aged 2 years or older. Also, people aged 2 years or older with conditions that may alter metabolism. These may include diabetes, obesity, renal disease, or cancer. Design: Participants will spend 2 days and 1 night in the hospital. They will provide a medical history and answer questions about their activity levels, the foods they eat, and their lifestyle. They will also eat a special diet. Participants will undergo many tests: They will lie in a bed with a clear hood covering their head for 30 to 45 minutes to measure the gases in their breath. They will lie on a padded table for about 15 minutes while their body is scanned. They will stand on a platform while a 3D scanner measures their body. They will have a test to measure how fast an electric signal moves through their body. They will grip an instrument to measure the strength of their hands. They will drink salty water and provide blood and urine samples. Participants may be invited to return for these 2-day visits up to 8 times per year. Return visits must be at least 2 weeks apart.

This is an observational study in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) who will be receiving finerenone. Kidneys filter extra water and waste out of the blood and make urine. CKD is a long-term, progressive, decrease in the kidneys' ability to filter the blood properly. In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin, or does not use insulin well enough, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can cause damage to the kidneys. As a result, CKD can occur as a complication of T2D. Finerenone works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. An increased stimulation of these proteins is thought to damage the kidneys and the heart. By lowering their stimulation, finerenone reduces the risk of kidney disease progressively getting worse. Finerenone is available and approved for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and T2D. Since it has only recently become available for these patients, there is a need for more information about the use of finerenone in the real-world setting. The main purpose of the study is to learn more about treatment patterns in people with CKD and T2D who just started or will start finerenone treatment as decided and prescribed by their doctor as part of their routine medical care. To answer this question, the researchers will collect data on: - Clinical characteristics (e.g., history of CKD and T2D, blood pressure, heart health) of the participants - Reasons for starting finerenone - Reasons for stopping finerenone early - How long participants have been taking finerenone (planned by their doctor compared to actual time it was taken) - Dosing of finerenone - Other medications used while taking finerenone The researchers will also collect data on medical problems (called adverse events) that the participants may have during the study. All adverse events are collected, even if they might not be related to the study treatment. Hyperkalemia, a medical term used to describe a potassium level in the blood that is higher than normal, is of special interest when finerenone is combined with some medications commonly taken to control blood pressure. Researchers want to know how often higher potassium levels occur, and when it leads to: - Stopping finerenone treatment too early - Dialysis (a medical procedure to filter the blood of extra water and waste) - Care in a hospital All data will come from medical records or from interviews study doctors will have with the participants during visits that take place during routine medical care. Participants in the US will be invited to provide voluntary blood and urine samples that could be analyzed later to better understand possible changes in protein or nucleic acid levels over time. Each participant will be in the study for 12 months. This time participating in the study may be shorter if their finerenone treatment is stopped early or the study comes to an end as planned in September 2027.
This is an open-label, randomised study in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated for hyperkalaemia (HK) whilst in hospital. The study will compare SZC to standard of care (SoC) with the goal of determining: - If continued use of SZC maintains normokalaemia (NK) better than SoC after participant discharge from the hospital. - If continued use of SZC after discharge will reduce HK related healthcare resource utilisation compared to SoC.
