Active clinical trials for "Kidney Diseases"

The aim of our study is: The early detection of NAFLD in CKD patients with different stages (stage I to IV) to avoid progression to liver fibrosis. Evaluation of the relationship between the severity of fatty liver in NAFLD assessed by liver enzymes, biochemical markers, ultrasonography and grades of Fibroscan with CKD staging, eGFR and proteinuria.

Primary outcome is assessment of nutritional status of children with CKD. Secondary outcome is assessment STAMP screening tool for detection of malnutrition of CKD children.

Research Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of serum urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (sUCR) in the progression of DKD. Research Design: This study was designed as a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. According to sex and CKD stage , patients are divided into four groups,then evaluate the prognostic value of mean sUCR and ΔsUCR (fluctuation of sUCR over time, meaning monthly rate of change) in the progression of DKD.

At present, the early diagnosis ability of diabetic nephropathy (DKD) is relatively poor, leading to some missed diagnosis of early disease patients. At the same time, because DKD patients have complex metabolic disorders, once they develop to end-stage renal disease, compared with other renal diseases, the treatment of DKD is more difficult and the prognosis is poor. At present, the main treatment for DKD is to strengthen blood glucose control and control blood pressure through renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) to delay the occurrence and development of DKD, but it can not reduce the risk of most patients progressing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In recent years, it is becoming a new therapeutic target for DKD to control the inflammatory response by targeting the inflammatory factors and inflammatory signaling pathways. Therefore, this study attempts to explore the correlation between N / OFQ and the occurrence and development of type 2 DKD, and seek new theoretical basis for the potential treatment of inflammation.

To know the blood level of allopurinol in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient.

The REduction of rIsk for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (REICIN) study is the largest prospective multicenter data base for CIN flowing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The REICIN study has the potential to characterize contemporary CIN incidence, modified risk factors and prognosis, so that to identify strategiaes to reduce risk of CIN following CAG/PCI.

The primary objective of this study is to identify whether cardiovascular complication rates are lower in patients who participate in managed diabetes care, in comparison to provincial and national rates. This study will involve an electronic medical record (EMR) chart audit, augmented by a manual review of hospital and other pertinent medical records, as necessary.

The addition of an estimate value of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) per Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] (LEVEY) equation is being included and reported on all routine chemistry panels in the experimental group. The control group is only having serum creatinine, the current standard of care, reported on routine chemistry panels.

Due to rising importance of cardiovascular disease before and after renal transplantation we have changed our standard diagnostic procedure and perform stress echocardiography and myocardial scintigraphy. We would like to monitor these results and the outcome of our patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the urinary excretion and renal metabolism of vitamins, in particular vitamin B12 and folate, in relation to various renal conditions involving loss of renal function and/or proteinuria.
