The prevalence of chronic kidney disease is rising steadily and represents a major public health challenge. Hypertension and proteinuria are two factors strongly associated with the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the high risk of cardiovascular complications. Achieving blood pressure control and reducing proteinuria is therefore a major objective in the management of chronic renal failure. Until recently, inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were the only therapeutic class known to have both anti-proteinuric and anti-hypertensive action, reducing the risk of progression to end-stage renal disease. The Investigators intend to conduct an observational study with the primary objective of studying the evolution of proteinuria in kidney transplant patients treated with dapagliflozin according to the marketing authorization. The secondary objectives of the study are to investigate other expected benefits, including effects on renal function and metabolic effects, as well as potential side-effects of this treatment in this population.
Nephrotic syndrome is the clinical phenotype of a heterogeneous group of glomerular diseases that may present with varying degrees of urinary protein loss (proteinuria), dysproteinemia in the blood, fluid retention and impaired renal function. The AustRian RESistanT NEPHROtic Syndrome Treatment Response RegIStry and Biobank (ARREST-NEPHROSIS) sets out to achieve the following goals, as typical categories of rare disease registries 1. Obtaining real world data on practice patterns and outcomes 2. Networking between affected patients, families, and clinicians. 3. Establish a patient base for facilitated recruitment in studies of drugs, medical devices, and products 4. Development of a Biobank to enable research of potential biomarkers and therapy or disease courses
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate Fetal Medicine Foundation's pre-eclampsia risk calculator using maternal characteristics, first trimester serum placental growth factor (PlGF) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in a Finnish general population. Condition or disease: pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, polycystic ovary syndrome
The ACE-inhibitors is one group of essential medication for which reliable data on the safety during breastfeeding is lacking. ACE inhibitors are indicated for several severe or life-threatening disorders like hypertension, heart failure or nephrotic range proteinuria and diabetic nephropathy. However, data on the transfer of ACE inhibitors into the human breast milk remains very limited. After delivery, ACE inhibitor therapy is often postponed if the mother is breastfeeding, requiring multiple other medications to control the disease, or switched from long to short acting forms, decreasing therapeutic adherence. Limited available data shows that the transfer of ACE-inhibitors into the milk is probably low, and thus that ACE-inhibitor are likely to be safe during breastfeeding. The objective of this trial is to collect information about the breast milk transfer, and subsequent infant exposure and general health outcome to selected maternal medication (ACE inhibitors) in patients from UZ Leuven. Furthermore, we will also use these data to verify the predictive performance of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models to predict breast milk and subsequent neonatal exposure to maternal medication during lactation. The medicines that will be investigated are perindopril, captopril, cilazapril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril, quinapril, ramipril and zofenopril. The investigators will enroll +/-10 mothers, who have been prescribed ACE inhibitors for medical reasons and are breastfeeding their infant while taking this medication.The mother will be asked to collect milk samples during 24 h and 2 blood samples: one at the time of milk pumping the first time after medication intake, and one at the last pumping session of the 24 h. Furthermore, we will ask the parents if we can collect a blood sample of the child (1mL/kg, and max 2,5mL). In addition, clinical maternal and infant variables will be collected, as well as medication intake, sampling information and general infant health. To conclude, with this study we hope to generate human data about the use of ACE inhibitors during breastfeeding. This information is an essential first step towards evidence-based risk assessment on the use of these drugs during lactation.
This is a Phase III, randomised, multicentre, double-blinded study to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of treatment with zibotentan/dapagliflozin and dapagliflozin alone in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high proteinuria.
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the major cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients, with the rate of cardiac death 10-times higher than that of the general population. An independent association between post-transplant proteinuria and cardiovascular risk has been previously reported. Diseased native kidneys with residual urine output or the transplanted kidney could be the source of proteinuria following renal transplantation. A clear differentiation of the source of proteinuria (native kidneys versus allograft) could be important for appropriate management. Proteinuria from native kidneys falls rapidly after renal transplantation, and persistent or worsening proteinuria is usually indicative of allograft pathology. The mechanisms behind the resolution of proteinuria of native kidney origin in the early post-transplant period are not well described. An association between vascular parameters of the macrocirculation and post-transplant proteinuria has been described. To the best of our knowledge no data is available describing a link between post-transplant proteinuria and vascular parameters of the microcirculation. In this study our goal is to analyze in a clinical trial in patients with end stage renal disease and residual urine output the relationship between proteinuria and renal perfusion of native kidneys before and after renal transplantation. In addition the investigators analyse if pre or post-transplant proteinuria is associated vascular and circulatory changes in the retinal circulation. Our hypothesis is that renal perfusion of native kidneys correlates with early post-transplant proteinuria. Moreover the investigators hypothesize that post-transplant proteinuria is associated with vascular remodeling processes of the microcirculation 2 and 4 to 12 months after transplantation. To prove this hypothesis the investigators aim to include 25 pre kidney transplant patients of our living donor kidney transplantation program. Total duration of this study for each patient is 5-12 months with total 4 visits, of which all are performed at the Clinical Research Center of the Department of Nephrology and Hypertension, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. This study is important to better understand the mechanisms behind the fall of proteinuria after renal transplantation and the association between post-transplant proteinuria and cardiovascular risk.
The purpose of the D4325C00007 study is to identify and characterise patients with known or newly diagnosed CKD for possible participation in future renal clinical studies and to obtain an overview on current treatment choices for this patient group in different regions.
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.
Hypertension is the most common complication in patients with diabetes nephropathy. Strengthening blood pressure and blood sugar control is the basic treatment for patients with diabetes nephropathy. Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) are the first line drugs recommended in domestic and international guidelines for diabetes patients to control hypertension. As a new ARB drug, azilsartan has been found to have better antihypertensive effect than other ARB drugs. However, due to the limited sample size and study time, azilsartan has no significant advantage over other ARB drugs in terms of renal protection effect, and has not been systematically studied in diabetes nephropathy population. This study is intended to evaluate the effect of azilsartan on proteinuria and blood pressure improvement in patients with diabetes nephropathy and hypertension through clinical randomized controlled study, so as to accumulate evidence-based evidence of azilsartan in the comprehensive management of heart and kidney protection in this group of people, and promote the development of comprehensive treatment for patients with metabolic disease and renal injury combined with hypertension. This study will compare the advantages and disadvantages of azilsartan and classical ARB drug losartan potassium in terms of proteinuria, blood pressure control and renal function protection in patients with diabetes nephropathy and hypertension; We propose that the main indicator is the change of urinary albumin/creatinine ratio relative to the baseline, and the secondary indicator is the change of 24-hour urinary protein relative to the baseline; Change of blood pressure relative to baseline; Renal function, electrolyte and blood glucose.
