Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

This randomized placebo controlled double blind parallel clinical study will be conducted on 44 non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (Stages 2-3b).Clinical Study Evaluating the Role of Coenzyme Q10 as Adjuvant Therapy to Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor on Blood Pressure, Proteinuria and Bone Metabolism in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. Patients will be recruited from, Internal Medicine Department, Nephrology Unit, Alexandria Main University Hospital, Egypt. Patients with albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g, with serum Potassium < 5 mEq/L and newly diagnosed patients with hypertension. The study duration will be 6 months. The patients will be randomized using stratified random block method into two groups. Group 1: Control group Non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (Stages 2-3b). Patients will be treated with ramipril 10 mg/day and a placebo match Coenzyme Q10 capsules once per day.The dose of ramipril may be modified according to blood pressure control. Group 2: Coenzyme Q10 Non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (Stages 2-3b).Patients will be treated with ramipril 10 mg/day and Coenzyme Q10 capsules (CoQ10) 200 mg/day. The dose of ramipril may be modified according to blood pressure control. Participants will be followed-up by weekly telephone calls and monthly direct meetings to assess their adherence for 6 months.

Recent trials have demonstrated positive renal outcomes of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) additive to angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) in adult patients with diabetic and non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD). These trials included no children. The hypothesis of DOUBLE PRO-TECT Alport is to demonstrate superiority of the SGLT2i dapagliflozin in preventing progression of the chronic kidney disease Alport syndrome in children and young adults at early stages of disease. Preventing the rise of albuminuria by dapagliflozin would result in a very significant delay of end-stage kidney failure (ESKF) and improved quality of life. If successful, DOUBLE PRO-TECT Alport will change the treatment recommendations for children with CKD, who have a very high unmet medical need.

Objectives: To determine the outcome trajectories of patients with hypertension (HT) and/or diabetes mellitus (DM), and evaluate the long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Risk Assessment and Management Programmes (RAMP) and other primary care services such as Patient Support Call Centre (PSCC) on reducing complications and mortality Design: Population-based cohort study Setting: Hospital Authority (HA) primary care clinics Participants: All patients aged ≥18 years with DM or HT managed in HA primary care clinics between 2006 and 2021 Main outcome measures: (1) incidence of DM/HT-related complications (cardiovascular disease, end-stage renal disease, retinopathy, neuropathy and all-cause mortality); (2) service utilization (out-patient clinics, Accident and Emergency and overnight hospitalizations); (3) Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio per complications or all-cause death avoided, and per QALY gained by RAMP or PSCC. Methods: A naturalistic cohort study (maximum 10-year follow-up) and retrospective data extraction from the HA clinical management system (CMS) database will be conducted to identify and correlate outcome trajectories of HT and/or DM patients with personal, service delivery and process of care factors. Outcomes of propensity score matched cohorts who have and have not participated in the programmes will be compared. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression and Poisson/negative binomial regression will be conducted to evaluate the effect of RAMP, PSCC and other primary care services on the risk of complications, mortality and service utilization. Empirical costs and effectiveness data will be used to calculate cost-effectiveness from the provider's perspective. Significance: Findings will inform how to optimize service delivery for HT/DM patients in Hong Kong

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) impose a significant global health burden. Yet, no effective therapies currently exist for AKI, and only a few are available for CKD. Despite significant effort from industry and academia, development of pharmacologic therapies for AKI and CKD has been hampered by: Non-predictive animal models The inability to identify and prioritize human targets The limited availability of human kidney biopsy tissue A poor understanding of AKI and CKD heterogeneity Historically, AKI and CKD have been described as single, uniform diseases. However, growing consensus suggests that different disease pathways lead to different subgroups of AKI and CKD (AKIs and CKDs). Access to human kidney biopsy tissue is a critical first step to define disease heterogeneity and determine the precise molecular pathways that will facilitate identification of specific drug targets and ultimately enable individualized care for people with AKI and CKD. A number of research centers across the United States are collaborating to bring state-of-the-art technologies together to: Ethically obtain and evaluate kidney biopsies from participants with AKI or CKD Define disease subgroups Create a kidney tissue atlas Identify critical cells, pathways, and targets for novel therapies The KPMP is made up of three distinct, but highly interactive, activity groups: Recruitment Sites: The recruitment sites (RS) are responsible for recruiting participants with AKI or CKD into the longitudinal study and performing the kidney biopsy. Tissue Interrogation Sites: The tissue interrogation sites (TIS) are responsible for developing and using innovative technologies to analyze the biopsy tissue. Central Hub: The central hub is responsible for aggregating, analyzing, and visualizing the generated data and providing scientific, infrastructure, and administrative support for the KPMP consortium.

Study is conducted to assess the prevalence and structure of comorbidity among patients undergoing abdominal surgery and produce the stratification of the risk of postoperative complications by identifying independent predictors for its development.

With the development of China's economy, people's living standard have improved, and the dietary structure have changed. Metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia and obesity have gradually become an important health burden in China. The pathophysiological mechanism of renal injury caused by metabolic diseases has always been a hotspot of research. Currently, it is believed that various mechanisms including the activation of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, vascular endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammatory process may be involved. Although there are differences in renal pathological manifestations caused by different metabolic diseases, the kidney will eventually present ischemic changes and fibrosis with the progression of the disease. So there must be some common pathogenesis. This study is designed to build a disease cohort of patients with chronic kidney disease caused by metabolic diseases, to identify risk factors leading to disease progression and to explore biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of kidney damage.

To measure levels of HPV antibodies in pre-renal organ transplant and renal transplant recipients who have gotten the HPV9 vaccine and compare to control antibody levels.

This purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a mobile phone application in helping to control body swelling in patients with kidney problems. The application will help in the day to day adjustments in diuretic medication dosing. Participants in this study will have an application loaded on to their mobile phone by the study team and be taught how to use it over a 2 hour visit. Participants will need to check their blood pressure and weight daily and enter this information into the mobile phone application every day. Participants will need to follow daily instructions in their medication dosing provided by the application. There will be periodic blood testing. This will happen at 2 weeks, 90 days, and up to 4 other times if necessary. At the end of the study there is a 2 hour study visit during which participants will answer a survey. The total length of the study is 90 days.
