Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

To investigate the feasibility of calcium dobesilate in the treatment of microvascular injury provides new ideas and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of chronic renal failure.

To investigate the Effect of Hyperuricaemia on Chronic Renal Disease and Intervention

This parallel-group, randomized, placebo-controlled study will examine the incidence and severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage III/IV following an i.v. injection of iso-osmolar iodinated contrast material iodixanol (Visipaque™ Injection 320 mgI/mL), as compared with patients who received saline and underwent a non-enhanced CT (NECT) and duplex ultrasound (US) during their scheduled post-EVAR surveillance imaging.

Objectives: Evaluate the effect of CPAP to reduce the progression of chronic kidney disease or CKD (the decline of glomerular filtration rate is ≥ 30%) in patients with early-stage renal disease and sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Other objectives are; determine the prevalence of OSAS in patients with early-stage renal disease and evaluate the changes in inflamatories markers and endothelial damage, the state of KDIGO, cardiovascular events, mortality and cost-effectiveness analysis in CPAP group versus non-CPAP group patients. Methods: A prospective, multicentric, randomized and controlled study will be carried out for 3 years. Early-stage renal disease (G1-3 KDIGO) and OSAS patients will be included. The investigators will make a respiratory polygraphy to determinate OSAS (AHI ≥15/h) and after that, the investigators randomized patients in 2 groups; CPAP group and control group (non-CPAP treatment). Patients with AHI <15/h (non-OSAS) will be the reference group and the half of these patients, randomly chosen, will be followed up at the end of the follow up. Statistic analysis: the investigators will analyze the differences in glomerular filtration rate before and after the treatment, comparing the percentage of patients with CKD progression for both groups. The investigators will use the chi square test with raw data and adjusted for confounding variables using intention to treat analysis with imputation of missing values.

Control of blood pressure (BP) is the first thing to do in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although guidelines suggest the optimal blood pressure level, it is hard to assess BP correctly during the office visit. Often there is a discrepancy between office BP and out-of-office BP, including home BP and ambulatory BP. Recent study reported that as many as 34% of Korean CKD patients had masked hypertension, which means high BP by ambulatory BP monitoring but normal BP by conventional office BP measurement. This study aims to evaluate the effect of ambulatory BP-guided BP management on the clinical outcome of CKD, compared to the conventional management using office BP.

The central hypothesis of this project is that Aliskiren causes a substantial decrease in MSNA in hypertensive patients with CKD.

The objective of this study is the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron sucrose in anemic patients with chronic kidney disease not on renal replacement therapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fosinopril and losartan are effective in the treatment of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) stage 3.

The aim of this study is to investigate effects of sevelamer carbonate on reducing TMAO in stage 3b-4 CKD (pre-dialysis) patients. The study will also investigate the safety and tolerability of sevelamer carbonate in study population and the effects of sevelamer carbonate on serum p-cresyl sulfate, indoxyl sulfate, LDL-C and uric acid.

This study aims to determine the mechanisms underlying dyslipidemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and effect of lipid-lowering therapies in patients with CKD via parameters of lipid, oxidative stress, tryptophan delegation as well as renal function and side effects. Thirty 3,4 CKD patients with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) > 100 mg/mL (2,59mmol/l), randomly receive three different LDL lipid-lowering therapies: Simvastatin (40 mg/day) or ezetimibe/simvastatin combination (10/20 mg/day or 10/40 mg/day).
