Filter by:A not randomized , cross sectional study will be done to determine the possible association of coronary artery calcification (CAC) score assessed by multirow spiral computed tomography (MSCT) with specific and non specific uremic factor of vascular calcification.
The purpose of this study is to collect information on the ease of use and thrombogenicity of the Polyflux HD-C4 Big and Fresenius Optiflux 180NR or 200NR dialyzers under conditions of routine clinical use for hemodialysis.
Magnesium iron hydroxycarbonate is a phosphate binder that absorbs phosphate from food, reducing the amount that the body can absorb. The purpose of this study is to determine how well a range of different doses of fermagate are tolerated by the subjects in the trial.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the incidence rate of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA; aplastic anemia) mediated by erythropoietin (EPO) antibodies in patients who are receiving subcutaneous (s.c.) epoetin alfa (polysorbate 80 formulation) for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure (CRF), and to compare this incidence rate to the incidence rate with s.c. exposure to other currently marketed recombinant erythropoietin products (epoetin alfa, epoetin beta, darbepoetin alfa), with adjustment of duration for which the drug is given to the patient. The study will also examine the impact of the pattern of using mixed s.c. exposure to multiple erythropoietin products occurring in this patients, and the impact of the time from which the treatment is started to the onset of PRCA.
To understand how AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) leads to chronic kidney disease so therapies can be found to alter the progression of events thereby significantly impacting the long-term outcomes of children who develop AKI.
Magnesium iron hydroxycarbonate is a phosphate binder that absorbs phosphate from food, reducing the amount that the body can absorb. The purpose of this study it to look at how effective and safe Magnesium iron hydroxycarbonate is in controlling levels of phosphate in the blood in patients who receive hemodialysis.
The purpose of this study is to learn if Belatacept can provide protection from organ rejection following kidney transplantation while avoiding some of the toxic effects of standard immunosuppressive medications such as kidney damage. Effects on kidney function and patient survival as well as drug safety will also be studied.
This study answers a U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirement for evaluation in people of a manufacturing lot of vaccine. Subjects receive one dose of one lot of vaccine. The antibodies in the blood measure the immunogenicity of the vaccine, and typical vaccine safety information is also collected.
Among adults with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has previously been reported to occur in approximately 10% of children with HIV-infection. The frequency of CKD, its causes, and its natural history in children and adolescents with HIV-infection have not been systematically studied, particularly in the era of new anti-retroviral medications. The primary aim of this study is to determine the how common pediatric HIV-infected individuals have evidence of persistent proteinuria and CKD.
The study will look at the safety profile (unwanted effects) of the long-lasting anticoagulant PEG-hirudin (SPP200) and compare these unwanted effects to those of unfractionated heparin, commonly used in haemodialysis to avoid clotting of the graft and of the haemodialysis machine.
