Filter by:Diabetic kidney disease remains the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), rising in frequency in parallel with the epidemic of diabetes worldwide. The estimated lifetime risk of kidney disease in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been reported to be as high as 50-70%, although risk may be lower in excellent care environments. Two previous studies have suggested that a generic drug used to lower fats in blood (fenofibrate) may protect the kidney from damage due to diabetes. These data, however, were obtained among people with type 2 diabetes with clinical characteristics optimized for cardiovascular studies. Thus, a clinical trial specifically designed to evaluate the effects on the kidney is required to firmly show that this drug can prevent kidney damage in T1D. The goals of the present pilot study are to demonstrate the feasibility of such trial, gather essential information for designing and planning this study, and generate preliminary data. To this end, 40 participants with T1D and early-to-moderate diabetic kidney disease (DKD), at high risk of ESKD, will be enrolled at two clinical sites and assigned in a 1:1 ratio to treatment with fenofibrate or placebo for 18 months. Kidney function will be measured at the beginning and at the end of the study to evaluate the effect of fenofibrate.
a prospective, observational, multi-center study with a cohort of 300 patients with Type 2 diabetes and macroalbuminuria. Prospectively we will collect kidney biopsies and analyse the transciptome of the kidney tissue and other biomarkers from blood, faeces, urine, proteomic- and metabolomic profiles and DNA-variants. Thereby we hope to be able to discover molecular and clinical profiles, that can help us in the diagnosis of DKD, and to identify different risks of progression that can benefit from different forms of personalized treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the KidneyIntelX assay utilized as part of the current standard of care on the management of patients seen in the primary care physician's office at Mount Sinai.
The current trial is designed to evaluate how the results of KidneyIntelX test impacts on the clinical management of type 2 diabetes patients identified as increased risk for rapid kidney function decline within 5-years.
Proven therapy for DKD is primarily limited to RAAS blockers and SLGT2i. Weight reduction has the potential to become an additional and much needed treatment option. Of all the weight reduction strategies metabolic surgery is suited to be the most effective. Yet no study has of yet compared the effect of metabolic surgery against best medical treatment on the progression of DKD. This pilot trial is designed to be the first determine the efficacy of metabolic surgery in slowing progression of DKD as compared to best medical therapy. The study design will address all the major limitations previously documented, including the major dilemma of estimating versus measuring GFR. Of note, the study's design will allow its sample size to be adjusted upward using an adaptive design if necessary, to achieve statistical significance. It will also inform study design and sample size issues for all future studies in this field. The payoff of establishing metabolic surgery as a new and effective intervention to slow progression to ESRD would be great in terms of reducing patient suffering and societal costs. This will be an open-label, randomized trial involving sixty (60) patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and obesity who will undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in the intervention arm or receive best medical treatment (BMT) in the control arm. The aim of this prospective, open, randomized study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RYGB surgery versus best medical treatment on the progression of DKD in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
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.
Diabetic kidney disease is one of the most severe and frequent complications of diabetes. Few preclinical markers are available apart from plasma creatinine and microalbuminuria. These markers are imperfect (some patients with advanced renal disease do not have an increase in markers) and late. Therefor there is an uncovered need to identify complementary biomarkers. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique that allows the physiology and biochemistry of human body tissues to be studied in a non-invasive and non-irradiating manner.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage chronic kidney disease. DN is a refractory disease with low awareness, high incidence, and high disability. The incidence of DN can reach 30 to 40% after 20 years of diabetes, of which 5~10% of patients will progress to end-stage renal disease, and epidemiological surveys predict that by 2030, DN will become the seventh leading cause of death in the world. Currently, there are no effective drugs for treating DN. This clinical trial is to inspect the safety and efficiency of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) therapy for patients with DN.
The study was a 48-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that included 8 weeks of pre-screening and lifestyle education, 32 weeks of treatment, and 16 weeks of follow-up.To observe the efficacy and safety of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell infusion in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy who received traditional hypoglycemic therapy.
The aim of our work is to compare the antiproteinuric efficacy of ACEI monotherapy, Selective MRA monotherapy and their combination in mildly hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria
