Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

There is a lack of consensus on whether women with proteinuric kidney disease benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation during pregnancy to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism. This pilot study will investigate the feasibility of obtaining thrombosis profile data using a viscoelastic haemostasis monitor - Sonoclot - from pregnant women with kidney disease, and exploratory analyses to elucidate correlations between output values and clinical parameters

This study will be conducted to assess the pharmacokinetics of vadadustat 600, 750, and 900 milligrams daily, and intravenous erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (darbepoetin alfa or epoetin alfa), in hemodialysis participants with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease.

Prospective, single-center study to evaluate the everlinQ System when used to create an endoAVF in hemodialysis patients.

A phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study. Anemic subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and not on dialysis will be randomized 1:1 to 1 of 2 dosing strategies to evaluate the proportion of subjects receiving at least one red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. In the haemoglobin (Hb)-based titration group, darbepoetin alfa doses will be titrated to maintain Hb ≥ 10.0 grams/deciliter (g/dL). In the fixed dose group, subjects will receive a fixed dose of darbepoetin alfa. Treatment group, darbepoetin alfa doses, and protocol specified Hb concentrations will be blinded. Subjects will be followed for approximately 2 years from the date of randomization.

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of Propolis on proteinuria reduction and protection of the glomerular filtration rate in chronic renal failure patients.

The number of cardiac angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) has increased steadily in recent years. This has resulted in the increasing incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Major risk factors for CIN include older age, diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney disease(CKD), the concurrent use of nephrotoxic drugs, hemodynamic instability, etc. Importantly, DM appears to act as a risk multiplier, meaning that in a patient with CKD it amplifies the risk of CIAKI. The aim of this multicenter prospective, randomized, controlled study is to evaluate whether berberine treatment during and after the perioperative period would reduce the risk of CIN in a high-risk population of patients with both DM and CKD undergoing coronary angiography or noncoronary angiography, and the influence of such potential benefit on short-term outcome.

The investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility of a resistance exercise training program among individuals with CKD and its impact on endothelial and vascular function.

Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is injected in the dialysis circuit at the start of the session. In the present study we compare 3 different methods of injection of LMWH: parameters of dialysis efficiency and clotting are measured. The study lasts 3 sessions for each patient.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether once monthly (QM) dosing of darbepoetin alfa is non-inferior to that of once every 2 week (Q2W) dosing of darbepoetin alfa for the correction of anemia in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease who are not receiving dialysis.

In this study 45 patients undergoing weekly dialysis for chronic end stage renal disease will be enrolled. The patients will be treated with a standard dialysis solution, containing acetate buffer, for 3 months; subsequently the acetate will be substituted with citrate anion for the 3 following months and then, the last 3 months, the standard acetate-solution will be restarted. The aim of the study is to assess if acetate-to-citrate switch in the dialysis solution influences dialysis efficiency and patient inflammatory state.
