Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

The purpose of this study is to observe the effectiveness and safety of the use of a low initial dose regime (iPTH/100) in chronic kidney disease patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (PTH>300pg/mL) and that require dialysis at least 3 times per week.

This trial aims to study the effect of combining continuous and a new polyamide membrane with larger pores in the treatment of critically ill patients with acute renal failure and low blood pressure (shock) requiring noradrenaline. The investigators wish to compare the clinical effect of this new therapy to that of haemofiltration with a standard membrane.

Patients with chronic kidney disease have profound exercise intolerance which contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The investigators have found that chronic kidney disease patients have an exaggerated increase in blood pressure during certain forms of exercise that could certainly contribute to exercise dysfunction as well as cardiovascular risk. The investigators will test the mechanisms underlying this exaggerated blood pressure response, as well as the potential benefits of short-term tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) with folic acid on both exercise dysfunction and cardiovascular risk factors in chronic kidney disease. The investigators will test whether short-term treatment with tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a cofactor for nitric oxide, together with folic acid improves inflammation, vascular health, and adrenaline levels, both at rest and during exercise in chronic kidney disease.

A prospective, open, randomized trial, in which the investigators aim to achieve optimal immunosuppression after renal renal transplantation with maximal reduction of side effects, especially of vascular injury, chronic allograft nephropathy, osteoporosis and malignancies. Immunosuppression without steroids and CNI minimization is compared to standard immunosuppression, consisting of tacrolimus OD, mycophenolic acid and corticosteroids.

This study assessed the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of LCZ696 in hypertensive patients with renal dysfunction.

This is a 12-month, phase II, prospective, open label study, to evaluate the effect of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) among patients on the kidney transplant list with high Panel of Reactive Antibody (PRA) levels. On average, increasing the PRA from 0 to 50% specifically in the Washington Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) increases the waiting time from 3 to 6 years. Spontaneous decreases in the PRA rarely occur and is associated with a decreased chance for transplantation and a decreased rate of survival.

Eligible male and female subjects with renal impairment (aged 18-78 years) and healthy control subjects (aged 35 to 78 years) will be enrolled in the study. Subjects with renal impairment will be enrolled and entered into three groups based on their renal function: Mild Impairment, Moderate Impairment, and Severe Impairment(not requiring dialysis). Control subjects will have normal renal function. The screening visits will occur within 14 days prior to plerixafor administration on study day one. Subjects will be monitored for 10 hours following administration of the study drug. In addition, subjects will return to the clinic at 24 and 48 hours after plerixafor administration for blood samples and safety assessments.

The objective of the VALIDE study is to validate that a 25% dose reduction of enoxaparine in patients with moderate renal failure (creatinine clearance between 30 and 50 ml/min) and hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome provides at steady state a similar anti Xa level in plasma compared to that obtained in patients without renal failure and receiving the usual dose of 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hours. 140 per - protocol patients are planned to be included.

The purposes are to measure the effect of dialysis with glucose on blood pressure, pulse rate, plasma concentration of glucose, plasma concentrations of glucagon, growth hormone, renin, angiotensin II, endothelin and body temperature, and to analysis the relationship between changes in blood pressure on the one hand and changes in vasoactive hormones on the other

To determine the effect of renal impairment and prior platinum-based chemotherapy on the safety and blood levels of topotecan administered orally
