Active clinical trials for "Cardio-Renal Syndrome"

Heart failure is a serious condition in which the heart's ability to pump blood through the body is impaired, often making a person feel weak or fatigued. When a person's condition worsens to the point of hospitalization, that person is said to have acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Abnormal kidney function in association with cardiac distress, known as cardiorenal syndrome, is a common complication of heart failure and causes further medical problems and need for hospitalization. While there are various effective treatments for heart failure, more research is needed to determine the best treatment for targeting both ADHF and cardiorenal syndrome. This study will compare the safety and effectiveness of ultrafiltration versus standard medical drug therapy in improving renal function and relieving fluid buildup in people hospitalized with ADHF and cardiorenal syndrome.

During cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS1) vascular congestion is the major contributor to worsening renal function, but promoting decongestion with routine clinical evaluation is ineffective in some patients. The venous evaluation by ultrasound (VExUS) may optimize its management when evaluating for improvement in kidney function and other metrics related to decongestion.

The study aims to identify the Following: - incidence and mortality of cardiac Surgery associated -AKI based on the new consensus diagnostic systems of KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes). use of biomarkers for the early detection of clinical and subclinical cardiac Surgery associated-AKI. risk factors and prediction models of cardiac Surgery associated-AKI. optimal cardiac surgical procedures including conventional versus minimally invasive approaches, on-pump versus off-pump, and optimal management of cardiac surgical support including duration of CPB, perfusion pressure, hemodilution, and hypothermia during CPB. controversial pharmacologic therapies for the prevention and treatment of cardiac Surgery associated-AKI including statins, sodium bicarbonate, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC).

The Cardiorenal Syndrome during Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) with persistent congestion despite high dose IV diuretic therapy is associated with remarkable morbidity, which can include the need for renal dialysis or ultrafiltration, an increased length of stay, and high mortality rates. The aims and purpose of this feasibility clinical research trial are: 1. to evaluate the safety profiles associated with performing negative pressure diuresis for the treatment of hypervolemia associated with the cardiorenal syndrome during ADHF with persistent congestion despite high dose IV diuretic therapy via the investigational JuxtaFlow® System, and 2. to evaluate the effectiveness of the investigational JuxtaFlow System in treatment of hypervolemia associated with ADHF.

We hypothesize that paricalcitol and calcitriol in dose-dependent manner are effective for the management of chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD), protection and repair of kidney and heart, management of chronic renocardiac syndrome (CRS). We assume that paricalcitol can have some advantages if compare with calcitriol or cholecalciferol due to absence of calcemic and phosphatemic complications alongside with great beneficial potential.

In double-blind clinical trial, determine renal recovery with two different furosemide strategies in patients with type 1 cardiorenal syndrome.

The Aortix CRS Pilot Study: An Evaluation of the Safety and Performance of the Aortix System for Intra-Aortic Mechanical Circulatory Support in Patients with Cardiorenal Syndrome

The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on the parameters of renal function in acute decompensation of chronic heart failure (ADHF) compared to standard therapy will be analyzed. Based on the dynamics of the clinical condition, the duration of hospitalization, and blood biochemical parameters (creatinine, urea, uric acid, potassium, sodium, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide - NT-proBNP) conclusions will be drawn about the possibility of using SGLT2i in this group of patients.

Erythropoietin (EPO) treatment in patients with the severe cardiorenal syndrome increases cardiac performance and decreases progression of renal failure by dampening the main driving forces of the cardiorenal syndrome in part via non-erythropoietic pathways. I. Does EPO administration to patients with the severe cardiorenal syndrome increase cardiac performance and decrease progression of renal disease? II. Does EPO treatment affect the main driving forces of the cardiorenal connection, that is, dampen the activated renin-angiotensin system (RAS), attenuate increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), normalize increased sympathetic activity, and decrease inflammation? III. Does EPO treatment positively affect the cell function of patients with the cardiorenal syndrome: are gene expression signatures of leukocytes positively influenced by EPO treatment, does EPO shift the Jak/STAT pathway to a less pro-inflammatory profile in monocytes, and are function and number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) affected by treatment with EPO in the cardiorenal syndrome? IV. Can the direct actions of EPO be differentiated from the effects on hemoglobin levels?

Among adult individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and at risk for heart failure with impaired relaxation of the heart mildly reduced kidney filtration function (Type 4 cardiorenal syndrome) this trial will evaluate the quantitative impact of 38 weeks of treatment with exenatide extended-release injections versus placebo. on a cardiac biomarker blood test score, cardiac fibrosis seen on magnetic resonance scanning, cardiac strain identified by ultrasonography and strain rate imaging, and a kidney urine biomarker score.
