Filter by:Patients with large hepatic cysts (> 5cm) may develop symptoms. These can be captured with the polycystic liver disease questionnaire (PLD-Q). Treatment of large hepatic cysts consists of aspiration sclerotherapy or laparoscopic fenestration. The safety and efficacy of both procedures has been explored in two recent systematic reviews yet no evident conclusion regarding superiority of either procedure could be drawn. The main objective of the ATLAS trial is to compare laparoscopic fenestration and aspiration sclerotherapy in patients with large symptomatic hepatic cysts on patient-reported outcomes.
Multicenter trial on the effect of the GnRH analogue leuprorelin on the growth of total liver volume in pre-menopausal women with very severe polycystic liver disease who, despite available therapy, experience growth and are heading for liver transplantation.
RDN-ADPKD is a prospective, randomized (1:1, central randomization), single-center, hypothesis-generating, feasibility study. The purpose of the RDN-ADPKD study is to demonstrate efficacy and document safety of renal denervation (RDN) with the Paradise System in hypertensive patients with ADPKD.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the use of Super-resolution ultrasound (SRU) to assess the intrarenal microvasculature in patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) and healthy volunteers.
The aim of the study is to assess the improvement of health in patients affected by CKD when they are exposed to non-pharmacological treatment strategies as nutritional program (NP), physical activity program (PA) and mindfulness program (MP), when they are conveyed to the patient by means of digital technologies or not. In the present study, non-pharmacological interventions conveyed by a digital technology (investigational arm) will be compared to a standard, paper-based approach (control arm).
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease characterized by cystic kidneys and caused by mutations in the polycystic kidney disease and other rare genes. It is associated with salt-sensitive hypertension, which accounts for the majority of morbidity and mortality. About 70% of patients with ADPKD develop hypertension, prior to the onset of kidney function decline. Early onset hypertension, despite its treatment, is independently associated with rapid kidney function decline. The investigators hypothesize that a high-sodium diet in patients with ADPKD is required for the development of vascular stiffness, which precedes hypertension, and that treatment with amiloride reverses this phenomenon.
The purpose of this study is to assess homocysteine metabolism and systemic endothelial function at the early stages of the disease and determine the prognostic value of homocysteine, related metabolites, and markers of endothelial function and injury to estimate renal disease severity and progression in patients with early Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD).
The purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness and safety of the medication PB in slowing the frequent urination related to tolvaptan as long-term treatment of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), or frequent urination related to inherited nephrogenic diabetes insipidus as an inherited condition or as an acquired condition from prior treatment with lithium.
This study will investigate if a medication (metformin) widely used in the treatment of diabetes could be re-purposed for the treatment of patients with a diagnosis of early stage ADPKD to slow the rate of kidney function decline, reducing morbidity and mortality and improving the quality of life for ADPKD patients.
This clinical trial will determine whether a daily-caloric restriction-based weight loss intervention can slow kidney growth in adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who are overweight or obese. The study will also evaluate changes in abdominal fat by magnetic resonance imaging. Blood and fat samples will provide insight into biological changes that may contribute to any observed benefits of the intervention.
