Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

This trial was conducted in Europe. The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate if the NN1250 (insulin degludec/insulin 454) concentration-time curve is altered to such an extent that the dose should be adjusted in subjects with impaired renal function compared to the dose for subjects with normal renal function.

Oxidative stress is associated with kidney damage in several different situations, including hypotension. In animal models it has been shown that the combination of n-acetylcysteine plus deferoxamine is superior to its isolate use in the treatment of several diseases. Thus the investigators aimed to determine if the administration of n-acetylcysteine plus deferoxamine could prevent renal failure in critical ill patients who develops hypotension.

The current clinical study aims at defining an index of Anti Xa, which is the marker to evaluate the activity of heparin, at the end of the dialysis treatment and so showing the possibility to decrease heparin doses during hemodialysis when using Evodial hemodialyzer. Actually, an elevated value of AntiXa at the end of the dialysis treatment increases the risk of bleeding for patients with diabetic retinopathy, or for instance in case of fall at home.

In this study 45 patients undergoing weekly dialysis for chronic end stage renal disease will be enrolled. The patients will be treated with a standard dialysis solution, containing acetate buffer, for 3 months; subsequently the acetate will be substituted with citrate anion for the 3 following months and then, the last 3 months, the standard acetate-solution will be restarted. The aim of the study is to assess if acetate-to-citrate switch in the dialysis solution influences dialysis efficiency and patient inflammatory state.

The aim of the study is to demonstrate that a ketoacid supplement in patients with stage III to IV chronic renal failure, reduces the excretion of urinary urea nitrogen

This is a prospective single arm study enrolling patients who are scheduled for creation of a new Brachiocephalic or Radiocephalic AV fistula. Up to 80 patients will be enrolled, 50 with upper arm AV fistula and 30 with forearm AV fistula. All patients will be implanted with the VasQ device, a subcutaneous arteriovenous conduit support for vascular access. The follow up period in this study will be for a duration of 12 months, with follow up visits scheduled at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

This purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of MK-0616 in participants with moderate renal impairment (RI) to those of healthy matched control participants. This study is being conducted to assess the impact of moderate renal insufficiency on the PK of MK-0616.

This observational study will evaluate bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) measurements from patients undergoing hemodialysis.

In the last decade, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become an increasingly utilized alternative procedure for replacing a stenotic aortic valve. This study collects clinical information, DNA, blood and urine samples (throughout procedural hospitalization) in order to investigate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing TAVR and to identify key clinical and procedural predictors of AKI. This study seeks to identify blood and urine biomarkers that can be used for early detection of AKI around the time of the procedure. The study seeks to assess for novel genetic variants associated with development of AKI after TAVR. Finally the study seeks to assess for novel genetic variants and biomarkers that are associated with adverse cardiovascular events after TAVR and to further explore how these events may inter-relate with acute kidney injury.

The study will investigate the impact of reduced renal function on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of LEO 27847. Volunteers with different degrees of renal impairment will be administered one dose of the investigational drug and then followed until investigational drug is eliminated from the body.
