Filter by:The investigators are trying to learn more about the cause of kidney diseases such as Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and Nephrotic syndrome by studying genetics. The investigators are interested in discovering which genes play a role in causing a predisposition to FSGS/NS. The investigators also want to learn why FSGS/NS can run in families. Participation in our study involves a saliva sample and a urine sample that you can give from home. There is no cost to participate. All information is kept private and confidential. The investigators also like to include healthy volunteers (parents, spouses) if interested/available but of course this is completely optional.
Gastric Bypass followed by renal transplantation is superior to medical management followed by renal transplant for patients with severe obesity and renal failure.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise during dialysis on the hemodialysis efficacy in the removal of small molecules measured by continues spend sampling of dialysate (liquid metabolites produced by the body which is disposed) technique.
Remote ischemic preconditioning reduces the incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography. This study was designed to acquire long-term data of initially randomized patients in the RenPro Trial.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel, tissue-engineered vascular prosthesis, the Human Acellular Vascular Graft, HAVG. The HAVG is intended as an alternative to synthetic materials and to autologous grafts in the creation of vascular access for dialysis.
The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled study is to investigate the effect of pretreatment with intravenous Alprostadil on the incidence of CIN in a high-risk population of patients with both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and CKD undergoing coronary angiography, and evaluate the influence of such potential benefit on short-term outcome.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects up to 16% of the adult population and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. People at highest risk from progressive CKD are defined by a sustained decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and/or the presence of significant albuminuria/proteinuria. Accurate mapping of the bio-clinical determinants of this group will enable improved risk stratification and direct the development of better targeted management for people with CKD. To address these requirements we have established the Renal Impairment in Secondary Care (RIISC) study; RIISC is enrolling a cohort of patients at high risk from progressive CKD and compiling a comprehensive and detailed bio-clinical phenotype, including vascular and oral health phenotyping, at enrolment and on subsequent follow-up.
Kidney disease is a common problem after heart transplantation. It may be caused by anti-rejection medications such as cyclosporine or tacrolimus. However, the reason why some people develop kidney problems after a heart transplant, but other people do not, is not fully known. This study plans to learn more about the relationship between a person's genetic make-up (DNA; deoxyribonucleic acid) and the risk of kidney problems after a heart transplant. The long-term goal of this research is to identify genetic variations that may help predict the development of kidney problems after heart transplantation.
The main objective of this protocol is to compare the impact on renal function of two different immunosuppressive regimens in patients with de novo renal transplant. Renal function will be accurately evaluated by measuring the clearance of iohexol. The protocol will also evaluate the efficacy and safety in a short term of these two different immunosuppressive regimens.
The Objective is to determine if renal hypothermia during open partial nephrectomy results in improved post-operative renal function compared to warm ischemia. Primary Aim is to determine the effect of hypothermia on preservation of overall renal function compared to no hypothermia in patients who require hilar vessel clamping during open partial nephrectomy for a renal tumor. Hypothesis: Hypothermia will result in improved post-operative preservation of overall renal function. Secondary Aim is to determine the effect of hypothermia on preservation of affected renal function (kidney with the tumor) compared to no hypothermia in patients who require hilar vessel clamping during open partial nephrectomy for a renal tumor. Hypothesis: Hypothermia will result in improved post-operative preservation of affected renal function.
