Filter by:This is a 12-month, phase II, prospective, open label study, to evaluate the effect of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) among patients on the kidney transplant list with high Panel of Reactive Antibody (PRA) levels. On average, increasing the PRA from 0 to 50% specifically in the Washington Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) increases the waiting time from 3 to 6 years. Spontaneous decreases in the PRA rarely occur and is associated with a decreased chance for transplantation and a decreased rate of survival.
This is a 12-month phase 2, prospective, open label study to evaluate the effect of rituximab with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)on the PRA of 14 highly sensitized patients who just completed an 8 month trial of MMF treatment alone. PRA values obtained at study enrollment and at 6 and 12 months on combined therapy as well as the rates of transplant will be compared and evaluated using descriptive analysis.
The purposes are 1. to measure the effect of dialysis with glucose in dialysis water on blood pressure, pulse rate, plasma concentration of glucose, plasma concentrations og insulin, glucagon, growth hormone, renin, angiotensin II, endothelin and body temperature, and 2. to analyse the relationship between the changes in blood pressure and changes in vasoactive hormones
The study objective was to evaluate the safety of paricalcitol capsules and the efficacy of paricalcitol capsules for albuminuria reduction in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) who have Type 2 diabetic nephropathy and are receiving optimal angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and/or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) therapy.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD)has become a significant health problem worldwide. Strategies to decrease the rate of progression of this disease and reduce the number of patients needing dialysis or renal transplantation are urgently needed. In this study we wish to compare the effect of dual blockade of renin-angiotensin system (ACE inhibitors plus angiotensin II receptor blocker) compared to the effect of ACE inhibitor monotherapy in patients with diabetic chronic nephropathy.
We want to investigate the effects of pioglitazone on cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
Peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor agonist pioglitazone and rosiglitazone are currently used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, as efficient insulin sensitizers alone or in combination with insulin.angiotensin II receptor antagonist losartan reduced the levels of proteinuria.Whether Combination therapy with pioglitazone and losartan provides additional renoprotection in subjects with type 2 diabetic nephropathy,it's worth researching.
Current expert opinion based consensus guidelines recommend usage of α-Keto analogues of essential amino acids in the diet of diabetic nephropathy patients, along with restricted protein diets. This study is designed to explore whether alpha-Keto Acid supplementation with low protein diet will retard progression of type 2 diabetic nephropathy and also to assess effects of such supplemented diets on nutritional and other parameters in this patient group.
Evaluation of several olmesartan dosages compared to losartan on proteinuria, renal function and inflammatory markers in patients with diabetic nephropathy
Angiotensin type-1 receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) have been recognized recently as regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism in adipocytes and adipose tissue.Moreover telmisartan and irbesartan have been recognized recently as regulators of glucose metabolism. For ARB losartan, the results were controversial. To confirm its effect on glucose metabolism, we designed and performed a prospective, randomized and controlled study in subjects with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy.
