Filter by:The goal of this pilot study is to explore the utility of Fast Field-Cycling (FFC) imaging in monitoring kidney disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - If FFC imaging can differentiate healthy kidney from kidney disease - If there is an association between FFC imaging and standard clinical tests Participants will provide one blood and on urine sample, and will have one FFC imaging scan.
This study is an open-label, multi-center study evaluating the clinical utility of Renasight in the diagnosis and management of kidney disease.
The goal of this study is to assess the physician and patient experience of radio frequency (RF) track cautery in patients undergoing needle biopsy of the liver, kidney, or spleen who have one or more risk factors for biopsy-related bleeding. RF track cautery involves inserting a bipolar electrode through the same introducer needle used for the biopsy, and heating the tissues along the path of the biopsy needle to prevent bleeding. This study primarily aims to assess the operator and patient experience during the use of track cautery. Secondary aims are to assess the technical success rate and procedure adverse events. Participants who enroll in the study will undergo track cautery as part of their clinically indicated liver, kidney, or spleen biopsy. After the procedure, they will fill out a brief survey asking about their experience during the procedure. Physician operators who perform track cautery as part of the study will also fill out a survey after each procedure asking about their experience using this technique.
This clinical trial aims to investigate and test the effect of an acid/base diet in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, CKD stage 4 and 5. The trial is guided by the hypothesis that an acid/base diet will reduce the degree of acidosis and simultaneously reduce the need for bicarbonate supplements.
The objective of this study is to establish that the MB-102 transdermal fluorescence-measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) using the MediBeacon® Measurement System with the Transdermal Glomerular Filtration Rate (TGFR) reusable sensor with disposable adhesive ring is comparable to the plasma-measured MB-102 GFR in normal and compromised renal function participants with different skin color types.
TARGET-KIDNEY is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESKD).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether traditional Chinese medicine, Gu Shen Juan Yu Formula, as complementary treatment is safe and effective in the treatment of Inherited Proteinuric Kidney Disease.
Long-term graft failure rates continue to be unacceptably high despite the development of immunosuppressive drugs, underscoring the unmet need for robust prognostic biomarkers of allograft injury and failure. While rates of acute rejection (AR) continue to decrease, it remains the strongest predictor of long-term allograft survival, and so having a better understanding of factors predicting AR may contribute to more individualized patient care. Selecting optimum immunosuppressive dosage is another factor in personalizing kidney care. This project will study two areas of individualized kidney care: 1) assessing rejection by surveillance testing utilizing AlloSure, 2) developing an algorithm to select optimum immunosuppressive medication dosage.
The investigators will investigate whether new kidney biomarkers can identify patients who are at risk of chronic kidney disease after an episode of moderate / severe acute kidney injury in ICU.
The goal of this study is to better understand the effects of a sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, added on to standard of care on heart and lung function and circulating metabolites (substances created when our bodies break down food, drugs, or its own tissues) in patients with chronic kidney disease.
