The Effect of Liraglutide in Patients With Prediabetes and Kidney Failure
Kidney FailureChronic1 moreThe present study will examine the effects of liraglutide treatment during 26 weeks on several cardiovascular risk factors in patients with prediabetes and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of the treatment on glucose tolerance evaluated during a 3h 75g-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Secondary objectives include various clinical and biochemical cardiovascular and safety parameters. We hypothesise that treatment with liraglutide can improve glucose tolerance in prediabetic patients with ESRD by normalizing plasma glucose excursions during an OGTT and ameliorate other cardiovascular risk factors.
Metformin in Moderate and Severe Renal Failure (CKD 3-4): A Follow-up Study
Renal InsufficiencyChronicTo validate on the mid-term in moderate and severe renal failure (CKD 3-4) a nomogram to adapt a fixed metformin daily posology according to renal function on the basis of the first short-term study made by the investigators.
Pilot Assessment of the Effects of Bardoxolone Methyl on Renal Perfusion, Systemic Haemodynamics...
Renal InsufficiencyChronic2 moreThis study is to evaluate the variability of several pharmacodynamic measures of kidney function, cardiovascular function, cerebral perfusion, and haemodynamics.
Study Of The Safety And Efficacy Of Conversion From A CNI To Sirolimus In Renally-Impaired Heart...
Graft RejectionKidney FailureThe primary purpose of this study is to determine whether converting from calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) therapy to sirolimus therapy will be more effective than continuing calcineurin inhibitor therapy with respect to renal function in cardiac transplant recipients with mild to moderate renal dysfunction.
Prophylactic Effect of Nifedipine on Further Decline in Renal Function in Patients Undergoing Open-Heart...
Kidney FailureChronic1 moreTo compare renal function (51Cr-EDTA clearance) 48 hours post open-heart surgery (coronary bypass or valve surgery) in patients with impaired renal function after randomization to either nifedipine infusion at start of surgery and the following 24 hours or placebo (0.9% saline infusion). Study hypothesis is that nifedipine has a prophylactic effect on decline in renal function.
Renal Effects of Two Iodinated Contrast Media in Patients at Risk Undergoing Coronary Angiography...
Coronary Artery DiseaseRenal ImpairmentThe main purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects on kidney function of two contrast media, the iso-osmolar iodixanol and the low-osmolar iopamidol in patients at risk of kidney damage associated with the injection of contrast media. A standard hydration procedure, based on available guidelines will be given to all patients to prevent negative effects on the kidneys. Serum creatinine (SCr ) concentrations will be measured before and up to 7 days after contrast media administration to evaluate the effects on renal function.
Determination of a Profile of Patients With Renal Failure to be Supported as a Priority in the Care...
Renal FailureThe purpose of this study is to map the population of stage 4 and 5 kidney failure patients followed in consultation by the CHSF nephrology team and to determine the factors associated with recurrent hospitalizations.
Relating Abdominal Complications With Peritoneal Pressure Estimation and Reporting
Peritoneal DialysisKidney Failure3 moreThis is a prospective observational study in people treated with peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure to investigate whether estimated intraperitoneal pressure (eIPP) is correlated with non-infectious PD-related complications in end-stage renal failure patients. It looks to understand how both peritoneal dialysis complications (including fluid leaks and hernias) along with gastrointestinal symptoms are associated with eIPP in people treated with PD.
A Simple Clinical Tool for Increasing Enrollment on a Kidney Transplant Waiting List for Patients...
Kidney FailureChronicThe main objective of this study is to show that the systematic use of a prognostic score as early as possible after the initiation of dialysis in patients over 70 years of age and with a good prognosis at 3 years of dialysis results in an increase in the number of entries on a kidney transplant waiting list at 12 months after the initiation of dialysis. This prospective assessment is carried out as part of a historico-prospective before-after study in parallel with a survey of changes in national practices over the same time period via a here-elsewhere type study. Historical data (i.e the. "before" period) will include incident dialysis cases during the calendar years 2013, 2014 and 2015 before the start of the prospective phase (i.e. "after" period, which is represented by the current declaration); since a preliminary study demonstrated that the data are comparable from 2011 to 2013, we will use the average of data thus obtained. Historical data will be retrieved from the REIN (The French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network) registry data and will be validated by investigators at each center.
Acetoacetate and Acetate Metabolism in Patients With Chronic Kidney Failure.(RENO-TEP)
Kidney FailureChronicThe objective of this study is to nake a comparison between 11c-acetate and 11c-acetoacetate kidney uptake in chronic kidney failure patients.
