Filter by:To investigate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of OPC-41061 in patients with chronic renal failure who are undergoing peritoneal dialysis, using daily urine volume, body weight, and edematous conditions as parameters and conducting dose escalation every 2 days until reaching the dose that achieves urine volume increase and then performing 5-day repeated administration at the fixed dose, the final dose used in the dose escalation period.
The study will determine if the Fragmin dose can be adjusted to suit the clinical needs of patients during dialysis.
To investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of OPC-41061 in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration using variables, such as daily urine volume and increase in interval body weights between hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration, in 4-day intermittant administration (excluding the days of hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration) at the dose fixed during the dose-escalation period
This Study is single arm, single center trial to check the safety and efficacy of Autologous Bone Marrow derived Mono Nuclear Stem Cell (BMMNCs)for the patient with CRF
Geriatric patients (age ≥ 65 years) undergo surgery for hip fractures that develops due to osteoporosis and falls. Dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular comorbidity. Elective or urgent surgical operations may be required for geriatric patients with end stage renal disease. These patients have severe comorbidities, fluid, electrolyte disturbances and drug metabolism abnormalities during the perioperative period. For this reasons a careful anesthesia plan should be planned and performed. Spinal anesthesia can be used for hip fracture surgery at geriatric patients with chronic renal failure. Anterograde femoral intramedullary nailing can be performed in supine position with a fracture table. Intraoperative sedation might be necessary for patients under regional anesthesia on traction table. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2 receptor agonist that is being used as an agent for its sedative and adjuvant analgesic effects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine premedication on geriatric patients with end stage renal disease, who will be undergoing a surgical operation for hip fracture under spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine and BIS (Bispectral Index) guided sedation with intraoperative propofol infusion.
Weight gain is a common complication after transplantation. It has adverse effects such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. Weight gain is implicated in the increased cardiovascular risk and the long-term loss of graft function. Weight loss achieved by a suitable dietary intervention in these patients transplanted kidney can correct lipid disorders and facilitate balance blood pressure. The identification of mechanisms responsible for weight gain would suggest prevention strategies and allow to align the caloric energy needs of renal transplant patients.
To investigate the biocompatibility of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution balance in comparison to the conventional PD solution in APD(automated peritoneal dialysis) patients using the APD cycler sleep•safe.
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is the preferred treatment modality in children with end-stage renal disease. Unfortunately progressive alterations of the peritoneal membrane occur with time on PD, leading to a continuous loss of peritoneal transport function. Recently, double-chambered PD solutions with less Glucose Degradation Products (GDPs) and neutral pH have been approved for the European market. Short term administration suggests comparable clearance rates compared with conventional solutions. In vitro studies demonstrate an improved local immune defense system. To compensate for metabolic acidosis, the available solutions either contain lactate or bicarbonate, the impact of either buffer on long term acidosis control and peritoneal membrane integrity, however, is unknown. The prospective, European multi-center study will provide the first long term administration of pH neutral, low GDP solutions in children. 60 children will randomly be treated with a bicarbonate (BicaVera) and a lactate based solution (Balance), respectively. The primary end point will be the effect of either PD-solution on peritoneal transport characteristics (D/P Creatinine). Secondary end-points will be the effects on ultrafiltration capacity, acid-base balance, peritoneal morphology, incidence and severity of peritonitis, and on surrogate parameters of biocompatibility and carbonyl stress. Moreover, potential genetic determinants of the peritoneal transporter status and of the continued morphological transformation of the peritoneum will be assessed. After a 2 month run-in period, using a conventional, acidic, single-chambered PD-solution, the patients will be randomized to a 10 month study period using BicaVera and Balance, respectively. Dialysis regime and follow up in the out-patient clinic will be performed according to clinical needs (every 4 weeks); episodes of peritonitis will be treated according to international guidelines. Bicarbonate supplements will be prescribed at a dose of 0.5 mmol/kg *d, if blood bicarbonate levels fall below 17 mmol/l. PD adequacy will be verified by routine, monthly venous blood sampling and a capillary blood gas analysis. 2-5 ml of blood will be drawn for analysis of relevant gene polymorphisms. At study entry, after 3, 6 and 10 months, a 24h dialysate- and urine collection, a peritoneal equilibration test an intraperitoneal pressure measurement will be performed. Peritoneal biopsies will be obtained at any time of abdominal surgery. Adverse events will be screened meticulously. The trial will be carried out in accordance with the German medicines act (AMG) and other local requirements, with particular reference to the ICH guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, and the declaration of Helsinki. At study end, the patients will decide together with the responsible physician which PD-fluid should be used further one.
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronic low grade inflammation, which is worsened by the co-existence of renal failure. One key aspect of chronic inflammatory diseases is the alteration in the polarization profile of circulating monocyte-macrophage cells. Namely, monocytes-macrophages can exist in a pro-inflammatory (M1) polarized form or an anti-inflammatory (M2) polarized state. Alterations in the M1/M2 balance is thought to contribute to inflammation within atherosclerotic lesions and visceral adipose tissue which, in turn, can worsen cardiovascular disease and metabolic features in type 2 diabetic patients. M1 and M2 are regulated by a complex interplay of soluble signaling molecules, many of which are substrate of the enzyme DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4). Therefore, inhibition of DPP-4 can affect the M1/M2 polarization balance. In this clinical trial, the investigators will test whether the DPP-4 inhibitor Linagliptin, compared to placebo, modifies the M1/M2 balance in type 2 diabetic patients with and without chronic renal failure. In addition, we will test whether DPP-4 inhibition with Linagliptin acutely affects endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are vasculoprotective cells implicated in the pathobiology of diabetic complications.
