Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a life threatening condition with high risk of pre-term death and need for dialysis. It is defined as kidney damage that has continued for more than 3 months as characterized by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). It is also defined as GFR < 60mL/min/1.73 m2 for more than 3 months, with or without structural kidney damage. The PCT level in healthy individual without infection is below the limit of detection (0.01 ng/mL), and it is significantly elevated under the stimulation of pathogens. However, due to the pre-existing endogenous inflammation that occurs in CKD patients and the impaired kidney clearance, the reference range that applies to the general population may not be appropriate for diagnosing infections in CKD patients. More recently, debate has continued regarding whether the PCT level is increased in CKD patients without infection, and the optimal reference for CKD patients remains undetermined

Renal failure is a relevant condition as the incidence of patients treated with intermittent dialysis continues to grow each year. One of the strongest predictors of mortality in these patients is Protein-Energy Wasting (PEW). Optimal nutritional support, combined with physical exercise may be able to improve the physical condition objectified as muscle wasting and weakness. Correct nutritional support must aim to supplement the correct combination of protein and caloric needs. Although no other way exist than predicting formula to assess protein need, predicting formula don't seem to capture the individual caloric need of the patients. The gold standard to assess caloric need by measuring Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) is indirect calorimetry. Even when caloric and protein targets are defined, intake remains a challenge because of intake restriction in dietary patterns. This is why intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) can play an crucial role for closing the nutritional gap. Whether IDPN guided by indirect calorimetric measurements of metabolism can close the gap when oral intake fails, remains an unanswered question.

This study is a randomised controlled intervention trial for dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (n=32). The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of an intradialytic training with a simple bed compatible trainingstool in comparison to a control group.

Research goals: To explore the views and baseline knowledge of children and young people (CYP) with CKD and their caregivers to develop effective phosphate educational materials (PEM), adapted for age, and acknowledging different learning styles

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. In people with CKD, the kidneys do not remove wastes and extra fluid from the blood as well as they should. High blood pressure makes it more likely that the CKD gets worse. The study treatment BAY3283142 is under development for treating CKD. It activates a protein called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) that generates cGMP - a molecule that relaxes blood vessels and is thought to have beneficial effects in CKD. The participants do not benefit from this study. However, the study will provide information on how to use BAY3283142 in subsequent studies in people with CKD. As many people with CKD do also suffer from high blood pressure, this study is done in people with mild to moderate high blood pressure to safeguard the use of BAY3283142 in people with CKD in later studies. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe different single and multiple doses of the study treatment BAY3283142 are compared to placebo in male and female participants (after menopause) with mild to moderate high blood pressure. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. To answer this, the researchers will compare the number of participants who have medical problems after taking BAY3283142 to those treated with placebo. Doctors keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study treatments. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take BAY3283142 or placebo as tablet once or twice a day. Patients will take one dose for 6 days and will then be switched to a higher dose for additional 6 days. In summary, three different dose combinations consisting of two different doses each will be tested. Participants will be in the study for up to 7 weeks, including 12 treatment days (6 per dose step). They will stay in-house for 17 days starting two days before intake of the study treatment. In addition, one visit before and one visit after the in-house phase to the study site is planned. During the study, the study team will: Check vital signs Take blood and urine samples Examine the participants' heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG)

Prospective randomized contorl study.Comparing clinical outcome between chronic kidney disease who were prescribed 6% low-protein nutrition supplement along with dietatian regular nutrition education and those without oral nutrition supplement.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact in safety and efficacy of a new formulation of prolonged-released Pirfenidone in the progression of renal damage in patients with Chronic kidney Disease (CKD).

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of multi-dimentional ayurvedic treatment in the patients of various types of chronic kidney disease.

DS-5565 (mirogabalin) is being studied as treatment for fibromyalgia (FM) pain. Because it is excreted through the kidneys, people who have reduced kidney function will not process the drug as well as with those with normal kidney function, so the dose must be reduced. This study will test two reduced dose levels for both moderately reduced and severely reduced kidney function. The study will test the hypothesis that the drug will be safe and well-tolerated in people who have both fibromyalgia and chronic kidney disease.

The objective of this study is to assess PK, safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of ASP3325 and to assess PD, PK and safety of repeated oral doses of ASP3325 administered t.i.d. before or just after each meal
