Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The purpose of this trial is to confirm that enalapril maleate and folic acid tablets is more effective in preventing renal function decline among the patients with primary hypertension when compared to enalapril maleate.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect and safety of Sulodexide in Filipino patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

This is a prospective, observational, multi-center study with consecutive enrollment. Up to 500 patients will be enrolled. All (consecutive) adult patients in whom one or more components of the Benephit Infusion System are planned to be used at participating sites are eligible for enrollment. The objective of this post-marketing surveillance study is to collect clinical usage patterns of the Benephit Infusion Systems. As a result, AngioDynamics will be able to (1) Better understand and quantify usage patterns including patient characteristics, adjunctive procedures, and infusion agents, (2) Collect user-interface information and overall customer satisfaction, and (3) Monitor post-marketing device performance and safety for ISO quality adherence.

Using sweat as the vehicle for removing molecules normally excreted in the urine(dermodialysis) was identified some decades ago.The study will include 66 ESRD patients and 20 CKD stage 5 patients not on dialysis who met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The ESRD patients will be divided into three groups and will be subjected to different modalities of stimulation of sweating like infra-red sauna , physical exercise and hot bath. The study will be conducted over a period of three months. During the first month, patients were dialyzed as usual (control phase).During the next two months ,the participants will be dialysed twice weekly in addition to dermodialysis. S Cr, BUN, serum K and serum phosphorus will be measured weekly immediately before the last dialysis session during the control and intervention phases. The mean of this investigations during each phase will be calculated . The investigators will compare the mean of this investigations during control phase with the mean during the intervention phase to evaluate the effectiveness of dermodialysis as adjuvant therapy for ESRD patients.The patients not on dialysis will subjected to infra-red sauna and hot bath.The investigators also will compare the means of S Cr, BUN, serum K and serum phosphorus during both control and intervention phases like the ESRD patients.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human growth hormone injection in short stature children due to chronic kidney disease before transplantation.

Antiplatelet treatment in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) is still challenging because of bleeding and thrombotic complications. The investigators hypothesized ticagrelor once daily dose would achieve tolerable antiplatelet effects compared with ticagrelor twice a day dose in ESRD patients on HD.

Aldosterone blockade is useful in preserving residual renal function in patients on PD.The long term efficacy of dual blockade of the RAAS is better than monotherapy.

The accumulation of p-cresol, a product of the metabolism of aromatic aminoacid operated by resident intestinal bacteria increases the cardiovascular risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Therefore, therapeutic strategies to reduce plasma p-cresol levels are highly demanded. It has been reported that the phosphate binder sevelamer sequesters p-cresol in vitro, while in vivo studies on dialysis patients showed controversial results. Aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of sevelamer on p-cresol levels in CKD patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety,efficacy， pharmacodynamics (PD), and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple intravenous doses of EPO-018B in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Who are not on dialysis

The purpose of this study is to learn how the amount of fluid in the body of a hemodialysis patient affects him or her. Body hydration is the amount of fluid in the human body and known to be related to blood pressure. Too much fluid can lead to high blood pressure which can cause heart problems and eventually lead to death. Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) is a method that may be used to measure body hydration. This can be applied in the whole body, arm, trunk, calf, and leg. It is a non-invasive and inexpensive method and no known risk. BIS measurements can be used to assess optimal hydration status which is defined as a patient's ideal weight after completing a dialysis treatment. The investigators hypothesize that your target weight may be better estimated by the BIS. The results of this study, in particular the continuous measurement of calf hydration which is associated with the hydration of the whole body, may provide useful information about physiologic ("healthy") body hydration. It may possibly help to improve treatment procedures for patients in the future. The Renal Research Institute plans to enroll 100 chronic hemodialysis patients and 200 healthy controls in this study.
