Active clinical trials for "Kidney Failure, Chronic"

In this study, individuals without hepatitis C infection who are on the kidney transplant waitlist will receive a kidney from a deceased donor with hepatitis C infection and will be treated for hepatitis C at the same time. Treatment will include glecaprevir 300 mg / pibrentasvir 120 mg (G-P) administered on-call to the operating room for the renal transplant procedure and continued for 4 weeks post-renal transplant.

This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the AKST1210 column at blood-flow rates greater than 250 mL/min in subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The study will assess the safety, tolerability, and impact on HD parameters when the AKST1210 column is used at a blood-flow of up to 450 mL/min.

To evaluate the effect of supplementation of vitamin K2 (menaquinone, MK-7)vs vitamin k1 on circulating levels of calcification regulators and to assess their safety in patients on regular dialysis patients.

TARGET-KIDNEY is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESKD).

Although patients with kidney disease can rely on dialysis to prolong their lives, the complexity of the disease, the variability of the course of the disease, and the uncertainty of the prognosis often delay the discussion of issues at the end of life, and the deterioration of the condition often makes it impossible for the patient to express clearly or rationally. Treatment thoughts or preferences. Sufficient time is needed to think and discuss issues related to life treatment. Discuss with patients as soon as possible to help draw up end-of-life care plans, help patients realize end-of-life care preferences, assist family members to make complex treatment decisions, and alleviate medical providers' moral distress. Domestic life-sustaining treatment research is mostly signed by DNR for cancer patients and retrospective investigation of medical records, and seldom focuses on kidney disease patients and life-sustaining treatment survey preferences other than DNR content. This study sought to understand patients with kidney disease's preferences for life-sustaining care during disease progression, and to understand whether prognostic perceptions, symptom distress, dementia, and decision conflict affect patients' preferences. Pre-collected convenient sampling is expected to include 200 patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease stage 5 or end-stage renal disease, including patients who have received regular dialysis. The survey will be conducted with a single questionnaire. There are five questionnaires, including: demographic characteristics, chronic kidney disease prognosis cognition And life-support treatment information questionnaire, short-form recall symptom assessment scale, loss of memory scale and decision-making conflict scale; after the researcher explains, the patient fills in by himself or the researcher fills in after the patient answers. It is expected that the results of the study will help clinical practitioners to understand the changes in the management of medical care for kidney disease patients when the disease worsens and assist in the management of patients' medical care, echoing the importance of advancing medical care planning in this population, for the future development of kidney disease A reference for care guidelines for debilitated patients, thereby improving care quality and satisfaction.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (Sglt2i) attenuate the incidence of cardiovascular events in individuals with preserved or mildly reduced kidney function. Whether this benefit is also observed among individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), in whom cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality, remains unexplored. To appraise the influence of dialysis on the pharmacokinetics of Sglt2i is a prerequisite to determining the treatment regimen that best fits this population. In this study ESRD individuals, aged 18 years and older, on a regular dialysis regimen for a minimum of 3 months at the Nephrology Division of the Clinics Hospital of the University of Campinas (Unicamp) will be enrolled in a pharmacokinetics study. In the single-dose protocol, hemodialysis participants will take Dapagliflozin 10mg P.O. immediately before the dialysis session, and blood samples will be collected every 30min during dialysis and again 24h and 48h after termination. The dialysate will be continuously sampled in a tank and aliquots collected for further analysis. In the multiple-dose protocol, both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis participants will take Dapagliflozin 10mg P.O. daily in the morning for 7 days. Blood samples will be collected at baseline, and again after 48h and 7 days. The plasma levels of dapagliflozin and its inactive metabolite, D3OG, will be calculated from blood and dialysate samples using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The primary outcome is the plasma concentration-time curve of dapagliflozin and its inactive metabolite D3OG during a regular hemodialysis session. Secondary outcomes are: (i) the steady-state plasma concentration of Dapa; (ii) the accumulation ratio of Dapa; (iii) the total mass of Dapa and D3OG extracted by the dialysate; (iv) the dialytic clearance of dapagliflozin.

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of treatment with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) in adults with chronic HCV infection who are on dialysis for ESRD.

Sofosbuvir is the base of most treatment regimens for hepatitis C. In patients with renal failure the blood level of one of its metabolites (GS-331007) rises up to 20 folds. Although no particular adverse event has been linked to this metabolite sofosbuvir is not recommended for patients with renal failure mainly because of lack of data. Nevertheless there are anecdotal reports and small studies proving the safety of sofosbuvir in renal failure. This study addresses this lack of information by evaluating the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir in treating hepatitis C in 100 patients with renal failure.

The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of the Theranova 400 dialyzer compared with Elisio-17 H dialyzer in end stage renal disease patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Efficacy will be determined by the removal of middle molecules (with different molecular size) from the blood compartment. Safety will be evaluated by maintaining pre-dialysis serum albumin levels and other safety events including laboratory tests and adverse events. Patients will undergo 3 dialysis sessions per week, for 24 weeks.

This study is designed to study and compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of individualized phosphate-lowering therapy in comparison with regular guideline-recommended therapy.
