Filter by:This randomized study evaluates the effect of subcutaneous semaglutide /in combination with lifestyle counseling in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), overweight/obesity, and stage 4-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) or dialysis-dependent end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on patients' eligibility for kidney transplantation at the end of 9 months.
In people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the body makes insulin, but cannot use it well. This results in high blood sugar levels causing damage to the blood vessels inside the kidneys. High blood pressure is a common condition that can cause damage to the blood vessels and heart if it is untreated. High blood pressure is also known as hypertension. Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or high blood pressure are at a higher risk of having chronic kidney disease (CKD). In people with CKD, the kidneys become damaged and do not work as they should. Over time, the function of the kidney declines more, and this can lead to the requirement for dialysis or kidney transplantation. Most people with CKD are also at risk of heart conditions, such as heart attack or stroke. In this trial, the researchers want to learn if BAY2327949 reduces the amount of protein in the participants' urine. Protein in the urine is one of the signs of CKD. The researchers will compare the effects of BAY2327949 to a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any medicine in it. BAY2327949 is assumed to increase the blood flow through the kidneys, which may slow down the worsening of the disease. The researchers will use a placebo to learn if the changes seen in the participants are due to BAY2327949 or if the results could be due to chance. This trial will include about 120 men and women over the age of 45 who have CKD. The participants will have T2D or high blood pressure, and a further disease of the heart or blood vessels. During the trial, the participants will take either BAY2327949 or a placebo once a day for 28 days. The participants will visit their trial site about 9 times during the trial, and need to provide urine samples to check the participants' CKD symptoms. At the visits, the doctors will ask them if they have any health problems. They will also take blood samples to perform laboratory assessments.
The primary objective is to assess the impact of three months' treatment with pre-/probiotic mix on markers of nephropathy and other comorbidity related to diabetes. A double blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover, single-centre study including 46 patients with type 1 diabetes and albuminuria. The treatment period is 2 x 12 weeks with 6 weeks washout. The primary outcome is to evaluate the effect of pre-/probiotic mix on albuminuria.
Research Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of serum urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (sUCR) in the progression of DKD. Research Design: This study was designed as a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. According to sex and CKD stage , patients are divided into four groups,then evaluate the prognostic value of mean sUCR and ΔsUCR (fluctuation of sUCR over time, meaning monthly rate of change) in the progression of DKD.
In this study, we seek to explore the importance of fat accumulation in the kidneys in relation to diabetic kidney disease (DKD). To do this, we conduct an intervention trial in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and DKD where we investigate whether the inhibition of intestinal cholesterol absorption with ezetimibe affects albuminuria (a strong risk factor for diabetic complications) and kidney fat accumulation. At the same time and to confirm that kidney fat accumulation is, in fact, abnormal in T2D and DKD, we conduct a cross-sectional study in which we compare kidney fat accumulation in participants at baseline from the intervention trial with a group of individuals with T2D and no DKD and a group of healthy individuals.
The AFFINITY Study is a phase 2, open-label, basket study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atrasentan in patients with proteinuric glomerular disease who are at risk of progressive loss of renal function.
The study is focused on the possible improving effect of N-acetylcysteine on nephropathy of type-2 diabetic patients. Study design: Prospective clinical based study. The aim of this work is to study the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on proteinuria and on the serum level of lipoprotein a (LPa) in diabetes induced nephropathy in type-2 diabetic patients.
Worldwide, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of chronic and end stage kidney disease. In parallel with the ever-increasing rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), the incidence of DKD is expected to further increase in the coming years. DKD is a multi-factorial condition, involving pathophysiological factors such as chronic hyperglycemia, obesity, systemic- and glomerular hypertension, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Large-sized prospective randomized clinical trials indicate that intensified glucose and blood pressure control, the latter especially by using agents that interfere with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS), halts the onset and (particularly) the progression of DKD, in both type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and T2DM patients. However, despite the wide use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a considerable amount of patients develop DKD, indicating an unmet need for renoprotective therapies. Sodium-glucose linked transporters (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a relatively novel glucose-lowering drug for the treatment of T2DM. These agents seem to exert pleiotropic actions 'beyond glucose control'. SGLT-2 inhibitors decrease proximal sodium reabsorption and decrease glomerular pressure and albuminuria in type 2 diabetes. In addition, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce blood pressure and body weight. At this point in time, the renoprotective mechanisms involved with SGLT-2 inhibition still remain speculative, though a consistent finding is that SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce estimated eGFR after first dosing, which is reversible after treatment cessation. This "dip" indicates a renal hemodynamic phenomenon reminiscent of the RAS blockers and is thought to reflect a reduction in intraglomerular pressure. The potential renoprotective effects and mechanisms of combination therapy of SGLT-2 inhibitors and RAS inhibitors have not been sufficiently detailed in human type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the current study aims to explore the underlying mechanism of the improved renal hemodynamics and mechanistics of mono- and combination therapy with an SGLT-2 inhibitor and a RAS inhibitor on renal physiology in metformin and/or SU-treated T2DM patients.
- This study will that will be conducted on 60 outpatients previously diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. - Patients will be recruited from Internal Medicine Department, Tanta University Hospital, Tanta, Egypt. This study will be randomized, controlled, parallel, prospective clinical study. Accepted patients will be randomized into 2 groups as the following - Group 1 (Control group): 30 patients will receive maximum tolerated dose of ACEI for six months - Group 2 (Fexofenadine group): 30 patients will receive maximum tolerated dose of ACEI plus fexofenadine tablets 60 mg once daily for six months The primary end point will be the change in Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) after six months of treatment
Diabetes kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in western countries and its incidence is worryingly increasing worldwide. Cardiovascular disease shows a continuous relationship with declining of renal function in type 2 diabetes patients. Moreover, there is a strong evidence of all-cause mortality risk excess even in patients with early stages kidney disease. MicroRNA (miRNA) are small non-coding RNA molecules, containing 21-25 nucleotides, that modulate post-transcriptional gene expressions. In the past years many human miRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of renal disease have been discovered, such as miR-192, miR-194, miR-204 and miR-25. Among these, miR-192 and miR-25, are receiving greater attention while it seems that they play a role in glomerulosclerosis and renal fibrosis. However too few data are available in large publish trials among patients with renal impairment and the role of serum and urinary levels of miR-192 and miR-25 in people with preserved renal function remain unclear. To evaluate the association between serum and urinary expression of miR-192 and miR-25 and renal function (according to different extent of renal impairment) in patients with or without type 2 diabetes.
