Filter by:Diabetes Mellitus is the leading cause of end stage renal disease. As proven by many studies , controlling proteinuria can delay the progression to end stage renal disease.This work will study the effect of sodium glucose co transporter 2 inhibitor , a new antihyperglycemic drug , on proteinuria and to compare its effect with the effect of classic antiproteinuric drugs as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor , aspirin and statins.
This study is to evaluate the renal function of HMG-CoA reductase add-on in chronic kidney disease patients with proteinuria.
This study evaluates the effect of renin-angiotensin blockers on chronic kidney disease progression in elderly (>65 years old) patients with non-proteinuric nephropathies. Half of the patients will receive angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, while the other half will not receive them. Renal function, proteinuria and cardiovascular events will be follow up during a three year period.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the oral supplementation with curcumin reduces proteinuria, improves the redox and pro-inflammatory state in patients with chronic kidney disease associated to Diabetes mellitus.
This study tries to identify the safe and effective treatment option for IgA nephropathy in children. Investigators will perform prospective registration study among 25 pediatric nephrology medical centers in China.
This study will test Scanadu Urine Device for clinical performance and usability.
Primary nephrotic syndrome(NS) is a common children renal disease.About 20% primary nephrotic syndrome are steroid-dependent and steroid-resistant.Low serum cortisol is one of the main relapse reasons.Adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)-induced steroidogenesis improve serum cortisol and also direct melanocortin receptors(MCRs) mediated protective effect on kidney cells. To investigate the efficacy and safety of ACTH to treat NS, total 42 children steroid resistant or steroid dependent NS is enrolling in this multicenter, prospective case series of prescription based treatment with ACTH for NS.
The overall aim of the project is to elucidate the primary bio-psycho-social (BPS) risk factors for albuminuria in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the mechanisms by which they cause renal injury. The Study Aims include: 1. Characterize the primary BPS risk factors associated with prevalent and progressive albuminuria in youth with T2D. 2. Determine individual, family and community level factors that influence biological and psychological risk factors and behaviors (adherence) that could be modified to protect against prevalent and progressive albuminuria. 3. Determine if systemic and renal inflammation is the common pathway through which BPS risk factors lead to albuminuria in youth with T2D. Study Hypotheses include: 1. Biological factors (poor glycemic control and systolic ambulatory hypertension), and psychological and social adversity (stress, mental distress and poverty) are significant predictors of prevalent and progressive albuminuria in youth with T2D. 2. Community and family support will be negatively associated with stress, and a lower risk of both prevalent and progressive albuminuria. 3. Systemic and renal inflammation is the common pathway through which BPS risk factors lead to albuminuria in youth with T2D.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, but significant complication after elective surgery which is associated with an increased risk of mortality, major adverse cardiac events, prolonged length of hospital stay, and increased cost per episode of care.
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis in the world.There is to date no curative therapy for patients with IgAN.It is considered that dendritic cells, Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 and cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interferon-alpha (IFN-a) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), play an important role in the aberrant mucosal response. Hydroxychloroquine is an antimalarial agent and had a notable impact on immune activation by the reduction of circulating activated immune cells that including decreased TLR-expressing cells, reduced IFN-secreting plasmacytoid dendritic cells, reduced production of inflammatory cytokines including interferon alpha, IL-6 and TNF alpha. Recent studies showed hydroxychloroquine had a benefit for renal remission and could retard the onset of renal damage in patients with lupus nephritis. hydroxychloroquine may have the potential effect in IgA nephropathy, alleviated the proteinuria and had the renal protect effect. This will be a single center, prospective, randomized, controlled study to assess the utility of hydroxychloroquine in IgAN patients.
