Filter by:Effects of ferric carboxymaltose single HD (1000 mg) infusion upon FGF23 in patients with isolated HFREF compared to patients with HFREF+CKD (all pts with iron deficiency). This study aims at identification of the optimal target population for a follow-up ("main") study.
This study addresses, whether treatment with IV iron for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and iron deficiency (ID), both with or without anaemia, can improve exercise capacity as measured by 6-minute walking test (6-MWT) and symptoms while being safe
The purpose of the study is to learn more about how treatment with vitamin D can affect iron metabolism and blood levels of hepcidin (hormone controlling iron levels) in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Iron is an essential mineral which is a major component of proteins that carry oxygen in the blood. Problems with iron metabolism can lead to low blood levels (anemia), which can commonly happen in people with CKD. New research over the last decade has uncovered a new hormone called `hepcidin', which is made in the liver and released into the blood. Hepcidin controls how much iron is in the blood by preventing the absorption of iron from food. Blood levels of hepcidin C are found to be high in people with CKD, and a recent small study in people with normal kidney function showed that treatment with vitamin D decreased hepcidin levels. In this study, investigators would like to examine the effects of vitamin D (Ergocalciferol) on iron metabolism and blood levels of hepcidin in individuals with CKD.
- In approx. 40% of the incidences anemia is caused by iron deficiency (= ID). In turn, preoperative iron-deficiency anemia (= IDA) is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality as well as with the need for a blood transfusion. - A successful preoperative treatment of IDA via iron supplementation requires a timely screening of iron deficiency, typically done by analyzing specific blood parameters. This however of course requires drawing a blood sample which further reduces the patients' blood volume and is in many cases stated as an inconvenient procedure. - Measured in blood zinc protoporphyrin-IX (= ZnPP) is an established parameter to detect ID. - This study aims to evaluate a prototype device detecting ZnPP non-invasively in the intact oral mucosa of surgical patients. - Results from the non-invasive measurement will be compared to reference measurements of ZnPP from residual blood samples (HPLC analysis) as well as to other parameters including Hb level and iron profile (MCH [= mean corpuscular hemoglobin], MCV [= mean corpuscular volume], ferritin, transferrin, transferrin saturation, soluble transferrin receptor, CRP).
The haemoglobin level of the patients with iron deficiency should be increased clinical relevant after 12 weeks treatment with GlobiFer Forte.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of iron therapy using intravenous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), relative to placebo in the treatment of participants in heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and with iron deficiency
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous iron supplementation using ferric carboxymaltosis (FCM) reduces hospitalisation and mortality in patients with iron deficiency and heart failure.
Tannins are known to inhibit iron absorption through formation of insoluble tannin-mineral complexes, and have thus been termed 'antinutritional.' Despite this, there is evidence that adaptation to similar antinutritional factors is possible when consumed over time. Limitations in current studies include short (single meal) duration, and use of incongruent tannin types from the condensed tannins that are commonly consumed. If adaptation to tannins does happen, it may be due to salivary proline-rich proteins, which have been found to be protective of iron status in animal models. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) To determine whether condensed tannins impact iron bioavailability or status when consumed in multi-dose, multiple daily supplements and 2) to test whether salivary protein production may impact iron bioavailability with tannin supplementation. Secondary objectives included assessment of the reliability of astringency as a measure of salivary protein production and iron absorption. The study has been conducted in an iron absorption study of 11 women, aged 18-35 years old, to determine iron bioavailability with supplementation of 0.03, 0.25, and 1.5 g 95% proanthocyanidin rich grape seed extract before and after regular, three times daily supplementation for four weeks. Each participant consumed all three concentrations of supplement over the 26-week study, with a two-week washout between interventions. Direct iron absorption was measured using area under the curve. Iron status was measured by changes in hemoglobin and ferritin, and was adjusted by participant c-reactive protein levels. Salivary samples were collected before and after supplement consumption during meal challenges, and analyzed on HPLC. Astringency testing was conducted at the end of each meal challenge. Iron absorption and status markers were analyzed by ANOVA, and mixed-modeling followed by pairwise comparison by least significant differences. Pearson's correlations were used to correlated salivary proteins and astringency with iron bioavailability. The present study will provide important information regarding the approximate influence of condensed tannin consumption on iron bioavailability and storage over time, at different doses. Data will also help to delineate possible physiological mechanisms underlying tannin adaptation and possible ways to detect individuals who better adapt than others.
Phytic acid is a known inhibitor of iron bioavailability, although long term studies have suggested possibly exaggerated findings compared to single meal studies, pointing to phytic acid adaptation over time. Salivary proline-rich proteins have been found to reduce tannin-iron chelation, but studies have not explored changes in salivary proteins that may result in phytic acid adaptation. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) To determine whether phytic acid impacts iron bioavailability or status when consumed over time 2) to test whether salivary protein production may impact iron bioavailability with phytic acid supplementation, and 3) to explore in vitro phytic acid salivary binding. Secondary objectives included assessment of the reliability of astringency as a measure of salivary protein production and iron absorption. The study was conducted in an iron absorption study of 7 women, aged 18-35 years old, to determine iron bioavailability with supplementation of 350 mg phytic acid before and after regular, three times daily supplementation for four weeks. Direct iron absorption was measured using area under the curve. Iron status was measured by changes in hemoglobin and ferritin, and was adjusted by participant c-reactive protein levels. Salivary samples were collected before and after supplement consumption during meal challenges, and analyzed on HPLC and by ELISA. Astringency testing was conducted at the end of each meal challenge. In vitro saliva-phytic acid modeling was explored on HPLC, MALDI-TOF, and ELISA. Iron absorption and status markers were analyzed by ANOVA, and mixed-modeling followed by pairwise comparison by least significant differences. Pearson's correlations were used to correlated salivary proteins and astringency with iron bioavailability. The present study will provide important information regarding the approximate influence of phytic acid consumption on iron bioavailability and storage over time in regards to salivary proteins. It will also give context to the role of salivary proteins with phytic acid consumption over time. Data will also help to delineate possible physiological mechanisms underlying phytic acid adaptation and possible ways to detect individuals who better adapt than others.
