Filter by:The thromboembolic risk is increased during the nephrotic syndrome (NS) with an incidence of deep vein thrombosis 15%, pulmonary embolism of 10-30% and renal vein thrombosis of 25-37%. There is a hemostatic imbalance with urinary leakage of anticoagulant factors and increased hepatic synthesis of procoagulant factors, platelet hyperaggregability and a decrease in fibrinolytic activity. However, the identification of patients requiring anticoagulant prophylaxis remains imprecise.The thromboembolic risk is higher when the NS is related to extramembranous glomerulonephritis comparatively to others glomerulopathies. The reason of this difference is not still known. This risk increase with SN's severity and therefore with the decrease of albuminemia. Moreover, few studies have evaluated anticoagulant treatment efficacy during a NS, which clinical benefit depends also on hemorrhagic risk specific of each patient. Thus, the determination of the thrombotic risk and the modalities of anticoagulation are variable and perfectible during the NS. We propose to use the thrombin generation test (TGT) to quantify the thromboembolic risk in patients with a NS and to follow its evolution during prophylactic anticoagulation and after remission of NS.
The AMILOR study compares treatment of edema in nephrotic syndrome with Amiloride vs. Furosemide.
The main objective is to demonstrate, from the initial episode of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in children with standard prednisolone treatment, once complete remission has occurred, that the use of Broncho-Vaxom (administration for 6 months) may reduce the risk of subsequent relapse during 12-month of follow-up.
This is an open-label Phase 2 study evaluating the long term safety and tolerability of GFB-887 in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and treatment-resistant minimal change disease (TR-MCD)
The study aims to describe the biochemical coagulation profile and investigate the effect of Low molecular weight heparin and Apixaban on this profile in patients with nephrotic syndrome.
The investigators planned this research to elucidate if there is any efficacy of montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, in steroid sensitive childhood onset NS to help prevent relapses. This study was done to know the role of leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) montelukast in preventing relapses in idiopathic childhood nephrotic syndrome (NS)
The main objective is to demonstrate, from the initial episode of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in children with standard prednisolone treatment, once complete remission has occurred, that the use of Rituximab (a single intravenous infusion of 375 mg/m2) may reduce the risk of subsequent relapse during 12-month of follow-up.
This purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a mobile phone application in helping to control body swelling in patients with kidney problems. The application will help in the day to day adjustments in diuretic medication dosing. Participants in this study will have an application loaded on to their mobile phone by the study team and be taught how to use it over a 2 hour visit. Participants will need to check their blood pressure and weight daily and enter this information into the mobile phone application every day. Participants will need to follow daily instructions in their medication dosing provided by the application. There will be periodic blood testing. This will happen at 2 weeks, 90 days, and up to 4 other times if necessary. At the end of the study there is a 2 hour study visit during which participants will answer a survey. The total length of the study is 90 days.
All children from 1 to 8 years of age, diagnose with nephrotic syndrome for the first time will be divided into two groups. One group will be given steroids for 12 weeks and other group will receive steroid for 20 weeks. During the 1 years after completion of steroid course patients will be monitor for the episodes of relapse in both group.
Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies are emerging as the steroid-sparing therapy of choice for nephrotic syndrome.This Randomized Clinical Trial seeks to evaluate whether Rituximab biosimilar maintains drug-free disease remission in patients with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome for 12-24 months and verify its superiority vs. mycophenolate mofetil (1,200 mg/m2 orally in 2 daily doses). The investigators will compare the risk of relapse to test this hypothesis (primary outcome). Secondary objectives will include assessing short- and long-term side-effects and developing specific biomarkers of sensitivity to therapy. Patients will be recruited, treated and followed at IRCCS G Gaslini and IRCCS Bambino Gesù where laboratory studies will be performed at in-site facilities.
