Filter by:Residual renal function is reported to contribute to the survival and cardiovascular disease of peritoneal dialysis patients. Oxidative and carbonyl stress are increased in peritoneal dialysis patients and are associated with cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to determine the relations between residual renal function and oxidative and carbonyl stress in peritoneal dialysis patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of peginesatide for the treatment of anemia in participants with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis and are not taking any treatment to increase their red blood cell production.
The aim of this study is to appreciate the influence of renal failure progression on vasculopathy (coronary calcifications and left ventricular hypertrophy) and cardiovascular risk factors.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of peginesatide for the treatment of anemia in participants with chronic kidney disease, who are not on dialysis and not on erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) treatment.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of peginesatide for the treatment of anemia in participants with chronic kidney disease, who are not on dialysis and not on erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) treatment.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of peginesatide in the maintenance treatment of anemia in participants on dialysis.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of peginesatide in the maintenance treatment of anemia in participants on dialysis.
We hope to study components within the blood that may predict success, failure or other associated complications in relation to the type of vascular access being used.
The purpose of this study was to determine the dose ranges of peginesatide administered intravenously or subcutaneously that maintained hemoglobin in participants on dialysis whose hemoglobin values were stable on epoetin (alfa or beta).
Patients treated by chronic renal replacement therapy are exposed to cardiovascular problems and suffer from an accelerated and sever atherosclerosis. Classical risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) do not explain the full risk of CVD in the dialysis patients. Additional risk factors are therefore likely to exist. The uremic syndrome is attributed to the progressive retention of a large number of compounds, which under normal conditions are excreted by the healthy kidneys. Uremic toxins such are parathormone (PTH), vitamin D and phosphates, cause development of renal osteodystrophy (ROD), i.e. disordered calcium and phosphate metabolism. Both conditions of hyperparathyroid and adynamic bone disease (ABD) lead to an elevated calcium x phosphate product and increased vascular calcification, which might occur in intimal and medial layer of the vessel wall. It is important to consider these processes separately, as the vascular consequences (occlusion with atheromatosis and vascular stiffening through medial calcification) are different. Moreover, the difference between uremic and non-uremic intimal plaque is not the size but its composition, with markedly increased calcium content. Hence, these observations have an important socio-economic impact because of the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The investigators hypothesized that uremic toxins in dialysis patients influence directly and/or indirectly the development of atherosclerosis, vascular calcifications and CVD.
