Filter by:Patients with Stage 3B, 4,or 5 Chronic Kidney Disease who are to undergo an angiography procedure with contrast agent will be asked if they are willing to join the trial. If so they will be screened and randomized to receive either sodium bicarbonate or saline before, during and after the contrast media is given. They will be asked for serum samples 1 to 3 days, 7, 30, 90 and 180 days after the procedure to evaluate whether the sodium bicarbonate has reduced the incidence of contrast induced chronic kidney disease by measuring their serum creatinine, as well as whether they have required renal dialysis or other renal replacement therapy.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous MK2578, given as maintenance treatment for renal anemia in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis who were previously receiving erythropoietin stimulating agents.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of partial correction of anemia with Darbepoetin alfa to a target of 11 g.dL (female) or 12 g/dL (male) on the reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and total mortality.
The objective of this study is as follows: - Perform genetic analysis to define the prevalence of each of the known gene mutations in an unselected cohort of patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) - Perform a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular status to determine the incidence of any cardiac abnormalities in patients with FSGS - Determine if patients with mutations in specific proteins are more likely to have cardiovascular abnormalities - Initiate long-term follow up in all patients to determine whether cardiac prognosis is related to any specific genetic abnormality
This study was designed to determine appropriate treatment with Fabrazyme at a biweekly dose of either 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg in a population of patients with severe renal disease burden.
Approximately 207 hyperphosphatemic CKD patients not on dialysis will be entered into this study at approximately 50 sites within approximately 9 European countries. The purpose of this study is to determine if sevelamer carbonate tablets dosed three times a day (TID) is a safe and effective treatment for the control of serum phosphorous levels in hyperphosphatemic CKD patients not on dialysis. Total length of participation is approximately 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following the administration of iopamidol-370 (Iopamiro-370) and iodixanol-320 (Visipaque 320) in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus undergoing cardiac angiography.
This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter multinational safety study involving about 300 predialysis patients aged 18 years or above suffering from anemia. Symptomatic anemia will be corrected by s.c. application of EPO HEXAL or ERYPO® in order to achieve a hemoglobin target range of 10.0 -12.0 g/dL.
Evaluate effectiveness of Carvedilol CR on Micro T-Wave Alternans in high risk hypertensives
The primary aim of the present study is to assess the safety of combined treatment of benazepril (an ACE inhibitor) or losartan (an ARB) in non-diabetic patients with advanced renal insufficiency.
