Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

To observe the Efficiency of Electroacupuncture for Hypertension Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease. To observe if different-time treatment having an impact on Hypertension Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.

Diurnal variations in the cardiovascular system apparent in healthy individuals, are different in chronic kidney disease patients. Therefore, diurnal variations in arterial stiffness may also differ in chronic kidney disease patients. This study aims to identify and evaluate diurnal variations in arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease patients and compare them to those in age matched healthy controls.

The SCOPE study is an observational, multicenter, prospective cohort study aimed at evaluating a 2-year screening programme for CKD in a population of older patients, aged 75 years or more, in seven European Countries, in an attempt to investigate whether and to which extent currently available screening methods may identify older people at risk of worsening kidney function.

The multicenter registry will collect clinical data from 1600 patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and chronic kidney disease (eGFR 15-49 mL/min per 1.73 m2). The overall objective of this registry is to assess chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and clinical outcomes with regard to anticoagulation strategies in NVAF patients with eGFR 15-49 mL/min per 1.73 m2 in routine clinical practice.

PHYSALYS is an observational multicenter study. It's an analytical study comparing 2 groups: patients exposed to physical activity and unexposed. The main objective of the study is to compare the evolution of glomerular filtration rate at inclusion and 12 months later between patients practicing physical activity and patients not practicing. If necessary, the renal disease-related complications, which are not influenced by physical activity: (type of kidney disease, age and tobacco), would be taken into account. TIRCEL patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at stages 3, 4 or 5 can be included in the study. Their serum creatinine data, 12 months prior to inclusion, is collected retrospectively. Patients are followed in the trial during 12 months. To evaluate physical activity, patients respond to Global Physical Activity Questionnaire 2 (GPAQ2) at inclusion and 12 months later. During this 12 months period, the same biological data are collected prospectively.

To describe anaemia correction via haemoglobin measurements taken throughout observation period in ESA naive patients with chronic kidney disease initiated on darbepoetin alfa QM

This pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial will test the impact of feedback and a toolkit aimed at improving the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the primary care setting. This trial will use family physicians in Ontario participating in the Electronic.

Both Kidney transplantation (KT) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients have reduced kidney function. Low serum magnesium is more prevalent in KT recipients. The present study examines the difference in vascular calcification between KT and CKD and its association with serum magnesium.

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational, hypothesis-generating study exploring mobility, Quality of Life and other physical performance measures among older, long-term stay Nursing Home residents with CKD, with versus without anemia. Enrolled patients will participate in the study up to a total of 26 weeks and be assessed at Weeks 1, 2, 14 and 26/End of Study. Based upon Week 1 hemoglobin and serum creatinine lab results, participants will be categorized into 1 of 4 groups.

Rationale: Investigation of the circadian rhythm of erythropoietin and melatonin in patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency Objectives: Primary objective: Is there a circadian rhythm of epo and melatonin in patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency? Primary Objective: Is there a circadian rhythm of epo and melatonin in patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency compared to patients with a normal renal function? Secondary Objective: Is there a circadian rhythm of cortisol and IGF in patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency? Secondary Objective: Is there a circadian rhythm of cortisol and IGF in patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency compared to patients with a normal renal function? Study design: Comparative study in 4 groups with various degrees of renal insufficiency, duration for each patient 24 hrs. Total duration of study 12 months, patients admitted to the hospital (on nursing ward) Study population: Patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency Main study parameters/endpoints: Analysis of the existence of a circadian rhythm in patients with a normal renal function and in patients with variable degrees of renal insufficiency Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Better knowledge of the circadian rhythm in renal insufficiency. This could lead to a more efficient administration of erythropoietin and melatonin in the future. Extent of burden is 1 venapunction for placement of infusion needle, the withdrawal of 11 times 5 ml blood in 24 hrs, continuous measurement of body temperature via capsule, 24-hour continuous ambulant blood pressure monitoring.
