Filter by:This is a non-randomized, open label, uncontrolled first in human safety study, testing the the material used in the artificial kidney device in subjects already on hemodialysis. Six subjects already on hemodialysis, who meet the study inclusion and exclusion criteria, and who dialyze at one of the UCSF associated hemodialysis units will be recruited. Each subject will be tested during one non hemodialysis day, at the UCSF Moffitt-Long Hospital Acute Hemodialysis Unit (AHU). The artificial kidney engineers have created a blood flow system that can be substituted for the dialysis filter in a standard hemodialysis machine. This is NOT a dialysis filter. It allows the subjects blood to come in contact with the material while the blood is being circulated as is regularly done during a hemodialysis session.
The purpose of this study is to determine if rifaximin reduces serum trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) levels in patients with end-stage renal disease.
The primary purpose of this pilot study is to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of low-dose bevacizumab and its effectiveness in reducing plasma free VEGF-A levels safely in hemodialysis patients. This information will be used to plan a phase 1 clinical trial evaluating bevacizumab's role in hemodialysis vascular access failure.
In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cardiovascular and infectious complications are common. The gut microbiome might play an important pathophysiological role. ESRD is hypothesized to be associated with profound alterations of gut microbiome and gut permeability. The investigators aim to test whether a multispecies probiotic mixture is able to revert the microbiome changes and decrease gut permeability. Furthermore the investigators aim to test whether this improvement in microbiome composition and gut permeability is also associated with improvements in endotoxemia, uremia and cardiovascular risk factors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the percentage of participants with sustained virologic response 12 weeks after the actual end of study treatment (SVR12)
The study was designed to establish the safety of the Bayston Antimicrobial PD catheter that is impregnated with a "cocktail" of three well known anti-microbials
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an immunosuppressive medication, Belatacept, as a replacement for a calcineurin inhibitor, in combination with a standard of care regimen of immunosuppressive medications and plasma exchange (plasmapheresis and immunoglobulin treatment) for kidney transplant patients who are moderately sensitized against their deceased donor and at-risk for delayed graft function. The hypothesis is that moderately sensitized patients who receive Belatacept treatment with the standard of care regimen will lead to lower acute rejection rates than historical controls based on assessment of standard of care biopsies and standard Banff criteria.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of triple therapy with pegylated interferon (P-IFN), ribavirin and boceprevir in patients with genotype 1 chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection and end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD).
Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). New research suggests that the high risk of death may be partly due to high levels of fibrosis and a loss of small blood vessels in the heart of patients with dialysis-dependent ESRD. This study is designed to compare the effects of two different drugs, spironolactone and L-arginine, with placebo on structure and function of the heart in individuals with dialysis-dependent ESRD.
Our study addresses the following research question: What is the role of obesity in modulating inflammation and innate immune function, as well as the overall responsiveness of innate immune cells (such as macrophages, neutrophils, and other peripheral leukocytes) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis? The investigators hypothesize that obesity will lead to increased inflammation in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
