Filter by:To determine the optimal route of administration, dose level, and safety of intravenous and subcutaneous dosing of sotatercept for maintaining hemoglobin levels in subjects who are on hemodialysis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether urinary connective tissue growth factor (uCTGF) can predict the onset of fibrosis in transplanted kidneys.
Malnutrition is seen frequently in hemodialysis units in most developing countries. Malnutrition increases morbidity and mortality in this population and its treatment improves patient survival and health status The purpose of this study is to compare two strategies to improve nutritional status in hemodialysis patients: renal-specific oral supplement (237 ml) versus egg albumin-based protein supplement (30 g) on a daily basis. This trial uses the Malnutrition Inflammation Score (MIS) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) in addition to most used biochemical markers to determine nutritional status.
The primary objective of the study was to compare the single dose pharmacokinetics of alisporivir in subjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis to those of matched healthy subjects. The secondary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of alisporivir when administered to subjects with ESRD.
This study is a multicenter, non-randomized, retrospective study to collect long term (5 years post-transplant) clinical outcome data to test whether the results of the noninvasive immune monitoring test strategy performed in the parent study (CTOT-01, NCT00308802) in first six-month post-transplant is predictive of 5-year outcomes. Each center will complete a retrospective chart review for the data on patient survival, graft survival and renal function.
The purpose of this study is to improve care delivered to patients with serious illness by enhancing communication among patients, families, and clinicians in the outpatient setting. We are testing a new way to help patients share their preferences for talking about end-of-life care with their clinicians and families. To do this we created a simple, short feedback form. The form is designed to help clinicians understand what patients would like to talk about. The goal of this research study is to show that using a feedback form is possible and can be helpful for patients and their families.
The HEMO-TIN trial is designed to look at both the safety (bleeding risk) and effectiveness (clotting risk) of tinzaparin compared with unfractionated heparin for anticoagulation in hemodialysis patients.
The purpose of this study was to measure how much of the study drug, LY2409021, gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it when given to participants with different levels of kidney function. There were five study groups. Each participant only enrolled in one group. Participants in groups 1 through 4 were healthy or have mild, moderate, or severe kidney disease. They completed one study period lasting about 29 days. Study group 5 enrolled participants with kidney disease who were on dialysis. They have completed two study periods which together last about 59 days. Screening was required within 21 days prior to the start of the study for all participants.
The goal of this study is to test a new vitamin D compound for its ability to reduce parathyroid hormone levels in patients who are on hemodialysis.
This research study is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate if taking diuretics (medications that increase urine production and help with fluid removal from the body) in a standardized fashion (using a guideline for adjusting doses based on measured urine output) could improve health outcomes in patients with cardiorenal failure or cardiorenal syndrome (combined heart and kidney failure) with edema (too much fluid in their arms, legs, and/or lungs). Under usual care, these patients are treated with diuretics and other medications in increasing doses, but not necessarily to maintain a specific amount of urine output per day. Current heart failure (HF) treatment guidelines do not provide any standard protocol, or guideline, for adjusting diuretic doses. At the point when kidney function worsens to the degree that the kidneys are no longer able to respond to the medications used to remove fluid, either ultrafiltration (UF) or dialysis (also called hemodialysis [HD]) is typically started in order to remove fluid. In both UF and dialysis, excess fluid is removed from the body by using a machine. In dialysis, both waste products and fluid are removed and electrolyte abnormalities are corrected. In UF, only fluid is removed. Both procedures use the same machine. This study will test whether a Protocolized Diuretic Strategy (ProDiuS), a plan for adjusting diuretic doses based on measured urine output, will improve clinical care for cardiorenal syndrome. Such a plan for adjusting diuretic doses is needed to improve symptoms, decrease the length of hospital stays and rehospitalization rates, and improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in cardiorenal syndrome patients.
