Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

Randomized prospective trial of patients with diuretic unresponsive acute kidney injury where patients will receive standard supportive therapy with diuretics versus intra-renal delivery of the vasodilator fenoldopam mesylate. Patients with rising creatinine who fail to respond to bolus diuretics will be treated with a prolonged course of diuretics or undergo placement of a catheter within the renal arteries that allows for infusion of fenoldopam mesylate. The rational is that early delivery of a high dose vasodilator may reverse the decline of renal function in patients with severe acute kidney injury.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of acetylcysteine compared to placebo for the contrast-induced nephropathy prevention, between 48 and 96 hours after procedures that use contrast. Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as an increase of 25% in serum creatinine before the procedure.

The hypothesis of this trial is to assess the effect of spironolactone on heart size and mass

The purpose of this study is to determine if the incidence of acute renal failure (ARF) in high risk patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is reduced by treating patients in the perioperative period with intravenous (IV) sodium bicarbonate. Patients will be randomized in a 50:50 allocation to receive either IV sodium bicarbonate or IV normal saline. The volume of fluid given in each arm of the study is equal. All other interventions in those patients will be according to standard cardiothoracic anesthesia protocol at our institution.

This study answers a U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirement for evaluation in people of a manufacturing lot of vaccine. Subjects receive one dose of one lot of vaccine. The antibodies in the blood measure the immunogenicity of the vaccine, and typical vaccine safety information is also collected.

The study will look at the safety profile (unwanted effects) of the long-lasting anticoagulant PEG-hirudin (SPP200) and compare these unwanted effects to those of unfractionated heparin, commonly used in haemodialysis to avoid clotting of the graft and of the haemodialysis machine.

This is a Phase 1b, single center, dose-escalating study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic effect of RBT-3 in healthy volunteers and in subjects with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease.

This study was designed to compare the efficacy of BIA and physician adjustment to prevent intradialytic hypotension in patients with acute kidney injury who received renal replacement therapy. The investigators randomized 9 patients with acute kidney injury and volume overloaded who underwent acute hemodialysis for 45 sessions in Vajira hospital between October 2017 and February 2018. In physician adjust-group (control) estimate by physical examination and fluid balance record. Primary outcome was intradialytic hypotensive episode and secondary outcome was hemodialysis-related adverse events and other clinical outcome.

This is a pilot, single-centre, feasibility study to assess the feasibility issues and collect preliminary clinical data for the design of future randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility and patient comfort of magnetic retrieval device removal of ureteral stent in transplant patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of oral administration of probiotics on the metabolism of uremic toxins, in the patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). One hundred and fifty hemodialysis patients are recruited, and a Double Blind Randomized Parallel Controlled Trial was performed.The microbiota-derived uremic toxin, such as indoxyl sulfate and p-cresol sulfate, are measured as Primary Outcome. The Fecal microbiome, fecal metabolites, blood metabolites, defecation, Gastrointestinal Symptoms The Kidney Disease Quality of Life and The Occurrence of Cardiovascular Event are also assessed.
