Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare protein supplements in patients with kidney failure on dialysis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To determine whether the supplementation of egg white protein pudding in a population of individuals with kidney failure on dialysis is feasible. - To determine whether egg white protein pudding supplementation improves serum albumin similar to other standard nutritional supplements. - To determine the effects of the egg white protein pudding on frailty measures, dietary intakes and analytes in the blood and urine. Participants will receive either the egg white pudding (experimental) or control (Ensure plus) at the end of their dialysis treatments 3-days per week for 12 weeks.
The BRACKETS pilot study is a multicentre, prospective, randomized controlled trial of prophylactic preoperative tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo and, using a partial factorial design, of prophylactic preoperative desmopressin versus placebo.
The goal of this study is to test the feasibility study of an internet based education and support program for patients awaiting kidney transplantation. The study is designed as a national pilot randomized controlled trial with a waitlist control group, to test the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effects of the intervention on patients' physical and mental health.
The aim of the Check@Home consortium is to set up a roadmap and infrastructure for a program to early detect atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease in the general population. This will be a population-based screening with a phased implementation and an iterative design in four regions in the Netherlands (Breda, Utrecht, Arnhem, Eindhoven). In total, a random sample of 160,000 people (aged 50-75 years) will be invited to participate in the study and another random sample of 160,000 people with the same characteristics will be included in the control group in which no screening will be offered. The overall screening program will consist of three phases: a home-based testing phase, diagnostic screening phase, and a treatment phase: - Phase 1: Subjects will be invited for a home-based screening that includes home-based testing; urine collection for detection of elevated albuminuria, and a heart rhythm measurement using a smartphone app for detection of atrial fibrillation. - Phase 2: Depending on the results on these home-based tests, subjects will be invited for further screening in a diagnostic screening facility. During this visit, physical data will be collected (height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, heart rhythm), blood will be drawn, and urine will be collected for the assessment of parameters that are indicative of a cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes or their risk factors. Participants will receive a questionnaire that include questions on demographics, educational level, disease history, medication use, health literacy, and quality of life. - Phase 3: Based on the results of the diagnostic screening, participants may be referred to their general practitioner for appropriate treatment (lifestyle advice/medication) according to the prevailing guidelines. The primary study outcomes are: Overall effectiveness of population based screening on atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease in subjects aged 50-75 years, based on: - Participation rate of different screening strategies and phases; - Yield of the screening (number of subjects with (newly) diagnosed disease and risk factors); - Effectiveness of the atrial fibrillation screening, compared with standard care, based on the incidence of ischemic stroke); - Effectiveness of the albuminuria screening, compared with standard care, based on the incidence of kidney failure events and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE).
The investigators hypothesize that Ketosteril can improve sarcopenia in patients with renal disease without increasing the burden on the kidneys and causing deterioration of renal function. Therefore, this study intends to take patients with CKD stage 3-4 and sarcopenia as the research object, give Ketosteril intervention or not to patients on the base of low-protein diet, and clarify the clinical benefits of Ketosteril prescription for improving sarcopenia in patients with CKD.
The overall objective of this study is to investigate Fabry-associated renal organ involvement by using a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach, focusing on changes in renal oxygen levels by blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) imaging. Furthermore, to correlate renal oxygenation to the phenotypic presentation of patients with Fabry-associated nephropathy regarding circulating and imaging-derived biomarkers of kidney inflammation, fibrosis and injury as compared with healthy age- and sex-matched controls. The study will achieve this by: 1) Using a non-invasive, contrast-free MRI protocol focusing on parameters of oxygenation, inflammation, fibrosis, and injury in the kidney. 2) Using an extensive, in-depth biomarker blood panel to investigate the pathological pathways associated with Fabry disease and Fabry-associated nephropathy.
The purpose of this study is to prevent kidney disease progression in adults with advanced chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] between 15-45 mL/min/1.73 m2) using intensive blood pressure control and intensive lipid management with 2X2 factorial design.
Oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress play a key role in tubular damage in both acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Oxidative stress in the kidneys promotes renal vascular remodeling and increases preglomerular resistance. These are key elements in hypertension, acute and chronic kidney injury, as well as diabetic nephropathy. Chronic renal hypoxia is highlighted as the final common pathway to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). MicroRNA molecules (miRNA) also play an important role in these processes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulators of gene expression and play a role in the progression of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although the pathophysiological contribution of microRNAs (miRNAs) to kidney damage has also been highlighted, the effect of miRNAs on kidney damage under conditions of oxidative and ER stress remains understudied.
This is a phase I/II clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy of IG3018 tablet in hyperuricemia (HUA) subjects with or without CKD.
One of the goals in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the availability of a healthy and prosperous life for all ages. This goal mentions health priorities i.e. non-communicable diseases. Chronic kidney failure (CRF) is one of the non-communicable diseases that is the main cause of death and disability both in the world and in Indonesia. The prevalence of CRF in Indonesia is 0.5% with 83.2% of patients being of productive age and the highest number of CRF patients in North Kalimantan, Southeast Sulawesi, DKI Jakarta and Yogyakarta. Monitoring and evaluation of patients with CRF is currently mostly carried out conventionally not using health technology that is integrated with hospital information systems. This study aims to design and provide a health information system for patients with CRF, hereinafter referred to as SIKIDI, which integrates mobile-health applications used independently by patients with existing information systems in hospitals.
