Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of avacopan and metabolite (M1) after a single dose of avacopan in participants with normal renal function and participants with ESRD requiring hemodialysis (HD).
Several studies investigated the effectiveness of Gabapentin in Uremic Pruritus (UP). No previous studies investigated the use of fexofenadine in UP. The aim of this trial is to assess the safety and possible efficacy of fexofenadine in patients with UP.
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the most common congenital obstructive lesion of the urethra, affecting from 1 per 3000 to 1 per 8000 live births. Valve ablation usually resolves the obstruction in PUV but patients still may suffer of deterioration in renal and urinary functions. Renal insufficiency is the most feared long-term complication. Up to 50 % of the patients will develop chronic kidney disease (CKD), and up to 20 % will develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and ultimately will require kidney transplantation. PUV is the first urological cause of ESRD. Progression towards CKD depends on febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs), severity of a vesicoureteral reflux and bladder dysfunction. Bladder dysfunction is due to an overactive and small poorly compliant bladder during infancy. Detrusor overactivity usually decreases in childhood and bladder capacity increases. The most common symptom of this bladder dysfunction is urinary incontinence. 60 % of children are continent at the age of 5 years old and 90 % at 10 years old. In case of persistent bladder dysfunction, medical treatment (anticholinergics, alpha-blockers) may be introduced, or even intermittent catheterizations. Current scientific literature has very few studies on quality of life (QoL) in patients with PUV, mostly in adult patients and very small cohorts. Men treated for PUV in childhood had a good quality of life compared to the normative population, except for sleeping, eating and sexual activity. It seemed that the more severe the urological and nephrological functions were, the lower the QoL was. Children were only asked about intermittent urinary catheterization, and family point of view has never been collected. However, QoL and long-term evolution represent the first concerns of parents-to-be in prenatal counseling, or after diagnosis in an infant with PUV. Hence, the aim of the study is to investigate the quality of life in school-aged children who had been treated for PUV in their first year of life, as measured by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0).
The primary aim of this early feasibility clinical trial is to assess the biochemical safety of dialysate regeneration with the optimised PAK HDsorbent cartridge in a limited number (n=3) of participants and treatments (one therapy per subject). As a secondary aim, we will assessthe therapy efficacy of the PAK HD sorbent therapy in short-daily hemodialysis (SDHD) and compare it to that of conventional CHD underthe same therapy settings. Following up from the preceding FIH trial, this continuation aims at demonstrating that the optimised PAK HD sorbent system has overcome previous problems of increased dialysate acidity and provides improved control over the patient's acid-base balance.
The goal of this observational study is to increase the understanding of the safety and performance of Merit Medical's HeRO Graft System (HeRO) and Super HeRO Adaptor and Support Seal System (Super HeRO) devices. This study includes adults that are being treated with one of these devices as part of their regular medical care for maintaining long-term dialysis access when all other dialysis access options have failed. Patients in the study will return to their study center 4 times over 2 years for follow-up visits to check their current health and dialysis status.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if probiotic has an effect on Trimethylamine-N-Oxide Plasma Level in plasma, which represent strong risk factor for Atherosclerosis in end stage renal disease patients who undergoing hemodialysis the main questions to answer are : Does probiotic lower Trimethylamine-N-Oxide concentration? does probiotic participating in decreasing risk of atherosclerosis in end stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis ? research will compare between patients who are taking probiotic and control group (taking no drug) participants will take probiotic for 3 months visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests All Patients will be subjected to the following: 1. Informed consent. 2. Demographics and history taking: Using Patient Data sheet. 3. Laboratory evaluation including: Kidney function tests: blood urea,serum creatinine, albumin ,uric acid. Complete blood count (CBC). C-reactive protein (CRP).
This is a prospective non-pharmacological interventional study aimed at investigating the relationship between the blood flow condition and the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) sound, with the ultimate aim of predicting the AVF clinical, in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who require the creation of a vascular access for extracorporeal circulation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Niacin has an effect on lipoprotein (a) concentration and hyperphosphatemia, which represent strong risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, in End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis. It will also learn about the safety of Niacin. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Niacin lower lipoprotein (a) concentration? - Does Niacin treat hyperphosphatemia in End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis? Researchers will compare Niacin to a control group (taking no drug) to see if drug Niacin works to treat hyperphosphatemia and lower lipoprotein (a) concentration. Participants will: - Take drug Niacin or no drug every day for 3 months - Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests All Patients will be subjected to the following: 1. Informed consent. 2. Demographics and history taking: Using Patient Data sheet. 3. Laboratory evaluation including: Kidney function tests: blood urea,serum creatinine, albumin ,uric acid. Complete blood count (CBC). Lipid profile:Lipoprotein (a),total cholesterol,triglyceride,high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL). Phosphorous, calcium, sodium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP). C-reactive protein (CRP).
To compare the analgesic properties of ultrasound guided supraclavicular block using ropivacaine 0.5% in arteriovenous fistula creation when used in combination with intravenous administered dexamethasone at 4mg and 8 mg as an adjuvant
The purpose of this study is to characterize the quality of life change in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to end-stage renal failure.
