Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The overall goal of this study is to develop and test effectively framed mobile health (mHealth) messages to promote medication adherence in teens with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Hypertension is an increasingly common problem in children, especially among those who are obese or with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial designed to test whether improved blood pressure control can be achieved with the use of remote home blood pressure monitoring in children with uncontrolled blood pressure.

This study evaluates the efficacy of PA21 in comparison with sevelamer carbonate (Renvela®) in lowering and maintaining serum phosphorus in adult Chinese subjects with CKD on dialysis after 12 weeks of treatment.

End-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis can present alteration in flow, concentrations and composition of saliva affecting oral health. This randomized placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) in salivary parameters in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients undergoing hemodialysis. Forty-four patients with CRF on hemodialysis self-responded two questionnaires for oral health and salivary gland function perception. Thereafter, patients were clinically evaluated for the diagnosis of hypofunction of salivary glands and were randomly allocated into two groups: PBM group (n = 21), which received three irradiations of laser at ʎ = 808 nm, 100 mW, 142 J/cm2 and 4 J per point; and a placebo group (n = 17) that consisted of laser protocol with the device switched off. Patients were first submitted to sialometry and after to PBM or placebo intervention at baseline, 7 and 14 days. Non-stimulated and stimulated saliva were collected for salivary volume investigation and biochemical analysis of total protein, calcium and urea concentrations.

Daprodustat is a drug that is currently being developed as a treatment for renal anemia . This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daprodustat following a switch from erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) in Japanese HD subjects with renal anemia who are currently treated with ESA. The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of daprodustat to darbepoetin alfa. This study is a 52-week, Phase III, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study. The total duration of the study will be approximately 58 weeks including screening and follow-up.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety when ASP1517 is intermittently administered in Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agent (ESA)-untreated non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients with anemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on renal outcomes and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Patients with chronic kidney disease in hemodialysis have complex syndrome with diverse effects on cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, musculoskeletal, immune and endocrine-metabolic systems. With regard to the musculoskeletal structure, there is progressive muscular loss with consequent increase in muscle weakness, limited resistance, exercise intolerance and fatigue, as well as functional and morphological abnormalities characteristic of uremic myopathy. Respiratory muscles are also affected as a result of uremic myopathy, with decreased strength and resistance. Objective: to analyze the impact of respiratory muscle training on muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Method: This is a prospective, randomized study involving 46 patients followed by the dialysis unit of a university hospital, over 18 years old, of both genders who underwent hemodialysis for more than six months and who signed the informed consent form. Patients will be allocated into two groups: respiratory muscle training with PowerBreath and control. All will be evaluated for demographic data, respiratory muscle strength, lung function, functional capacity and quality of life. The intervention group will perform three months of intradialytic training of a physical therapy protocol with PowerBreath. Both groups will be reevaluated after three months.

Nowadays, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in China is about 10.8%,and nearly 120 million people suffer from CKD, which has become a serious public health problem in China. Study confirmed that proteinuria is an independent risk factor for the continuous deterioration of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with CKD. So it is of great significance to explore the strategy of reducing proteinuria. According to our previous study, Amiloride can inhibit the expression of uPAR in podocytes and reduce proteinuria, This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect and safety of Amiloride in decreasing proteinuria for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effecacy and safety of dialysis centers switching its dialysis patients from using recombinant human erythropoietin injection (CHO Cell) (ESPO) to Pegol-Sihematide injection on hemoglobin levels and other parameters.
