Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

Background: Chronic kidney disease is associated with comorbid conditions that result in physical impairments. Objectives: Investigate the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on postural stability in children compared with age matched typically developing children using Human Assessment Computer (HUMAC) balance system. Design: An observational design (cross-sectional study). Settings: The assessment procedures were conducted at the Nephrology Unit, Zagazig University Hospitals. Participants: Seventy-five children, age ranged from 8 to 15 years represented three groups of equal numbers; control group (typically developed), non-dialysis (stage 3 and 4) and hemodialysis group. Outcome measures: The HUMAC balance system was used to assess the limits of stability, center of pressure and sensory organization and balance.

This is a proposal for a retrospective observational study of the safety of metformin use in patients with chronic kidney disease, compared to other commonly used diabetes drugs. It will be conducted using retrospective data from the New York City CDRN, Medicare administrate files, and New York State Medicaid administrative files, which will be linked and then deidentified prior to analysis.

This is a single center, comparative cohort study to investigate alterations in hepatic transporter function in subjects with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) compared to healthy subjects and subjects with non-ADPKD renal disease. Eligible subjects will be 18-65 years of age and of any race/ethnicity and gender.

A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial of effect of allopurinol or febuxostat to prevent contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI)

This study is being conducted in order to assess the need for dose adjustment for elafibranor in participants with renal impairment. Pharmacokinetic parameters of elafibranor and its active metabolite (GFT1007) will be compared in severe renal impaired participants (eGFR<15mL/mn/1.73m^2) versus healthy participants after a single oral administration of elafibranor 120 mg

This study explores the risk factors for sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease and the effects of sarcopenia on cardiovascular disease. Treatment of sarcopenia and cardiovascular complications provides a basis for improving the quality of life and survival of patients with chronic kidney disease.

The primary purpose of this research study is to determine the cardiovascular and renal effectiveness and safety of empagliflozin compared to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with and without established kidney disease. The secondary purpose of this research study is to determine the cardiovascular and renal effectiveness and safety of any Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) compared to Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP1RA) in patients with T2DM.

Association between excretion pattern and development trajectory of urinary electrolytes (urine sodium, urine potassium, urine chlorine, urine magnesium, urine calcium, urine phosphorus, urine creatinine, urea, uric acid, urine glucose, urine protein, urine retinol) and adverse prognosis in patients with chronic kidney disease

In Tunisia, diabetes is a serious public health problem, its prevalence reaches 22.9% of people aged 18 and over and is likely to affect a quarter of the population by 2045. Diabetic kidney disease is the most common and severe complication of diabetes. It is both a major cause of end-stage renal disease and a risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular morbidity, thus becoming an additional public health concern. Early diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease makes it possible to manage patients more effectively and in a multidisciplinary way, to delay its progression to chronic renal failure.

By means of a personalized medicine strategy, investigators are going to evaluate if the treatment with an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARAII) in renal transplant patients with the presence of renal progenitor cells (PECs) in the urine is able to prevent the expected loss of glomerular filtration (GFR) observed in this subgroup of patients. In addition, investigators intend to deepen the mechanisms of glomerular damage and glomerular repair involved in the process of chronic allograft damage.
