Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

The purpose of the parent study is to assess the short-term safety and tolerability of soluble ferric pyrophosphate (SFP) in dialysate administered to a large number of representative adult chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis (CKD-HD). The purpose of the extension study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of SFP.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with CTP-499 for 24 weeks in patients with chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetic nephropathy and who are currently receiving treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and/or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).

Patients with kidney disease benefit from reducing the amount of salt in the food that they eat. The benefits include lower blood pressure and better kidney function. Therefore, lowering the amount of salt that is eaten could reduce the number of people who will develop kidney failure. The effect on blood pressure could also reduce the number of strokes and heart attacks. Similar benefits are also seen for people without kidney disease. Guidelines for patients with kidney disease recommend that they lower the amount of salt that they eat, but most patients do not manage to do this. The reasons for this are not unclear, but are likely to reflect the difficulty that patients have in reducing the amount of salt in their food and the nature of the advice that they are given. The investigators have developed a package of interventions to help patients to make healthier choices that will lower their salt intake. The package helps patients to learn about salt in food and how to avoid it. It provide practical advice on cutting down on salt using information booklets, text messages, emails, telephone calls, and a website. Participants will be recruited from hospital kidney clinics and general practice. The investigators will randomly allocate participants to receive either the normal care that they would get or to receive the new package of interventions to help them lower salt. The package of interventions will involve patients receiving text messages, telephone calls, emails and written information. They will complete a questionnaire and collect urine samples which will can be used to measure the amount of salt that they are eating. No more than 6 visits will be required. The study is funded by the British Renal Society which is a charity that funds research to help patients with kidney disease.

Study investigating the safety and efficacy of the citrate dialysis solution compared to standard acetate dialysis solution. Use of citrate dialysis solution is not associated with a clinically relevant development of adverse events. It is hypothesized that citrate dialysate may provide a local anticoagulation effect in the dialyser improving removal of uremic toxins.

The purpose of this study is to determine the glycemic efficacy and safety of dulaglutide compared to insulin glargine in the treatment of participants with type 2 diabetes and moderate or severe chronic kidney disease.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of physiotherapy based on the practice of supervised exercise on functional capacity and life quality of patients with chronic kidney disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects and efficacy of dietary sodium restriction by mean of a new healthcare approach in patients with chronic kidney disease. The test persons in the intervention group are actively supported to adhere to a restricted sodium diet with a structured self-regulation program to implement sodium recommendations that are in current guidelines.

The proposed research aims to examine whether regular aerobic exercise can preserve renal function, improve aerobic capacity, physical and psychosocial function, strength, cardiovascular function, general well-being and quality of life. Ultimately, the research aims to prove that exercise is a more cost-effective and a more efficient use or healthcare resources used in the treatment of patients with CKD. Exercise is a relatively cheap treatment option which is readily available and accessible for this patient population. establish if, compared with usual care, an exercise programme for pre-dialysis CKD patients; Preserves renal function. Improves aerobic capacity, physical and psychosocial function, strength, cardiovascular function, general well-being and quality of life.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of extended dosing of GCS-100 in patients with CKD.

This extension study of subjects previously enrolled in studies CTAP101-CL-3001 or CTAP101-CL-3002 allows long term evaluation of the safety and efficacy of CTAP101 Capsules in reducing elevated intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and correcting vitamin D insufficiency in stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease patients.
