Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

The study is a prospective, non-randomized early feasibility study intended to evaluate the safety and performance of the JuxtaFlow System (also known as the JuxtaFlow Renal Assist Device (RAD)) in participants with pre-existing renal insufficiency who are undergoing cardiac surgery.

Evaluation Dose Adjustments in Kidney Transplant Patients on Immediate Release and Extended Release Tacrolimus

The study will determine the efficacy of twice weekly hemodialysis in patients with residual kidney function.

The main aim of this study is to find out how the body processes 1 dose of TAK-279 (pharmacokinetics) in participants with kidney problems compared to participants without kidney problems. Other aims are to check for side effects from TAK-279 and to learn how well participants tolerate 1 dose of TAK-279. The participants will need to stay at the clinic for 11 days.

The overall goal is to enhance vitamin D status in a safe and effective manner. A 3-week randomized comparator-controlled trial among a cohort of adults with CKD (stages 3-5) (n=24) will test the main objective: Evaluate the bioefficacy of D3 in micro- and nanoparticles (4000IUs) in almond milk with the sub-objective of: Explore the effect of D3 in micro- and nanoparticles (4000IUs) in almond milk on inflammation markers CRP, TNF-α and IL-6.

Renal transplantation is now recognized as the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. An optimum anesthetic regimen should enhance the function and perfusion of the transplanted kidney. The aim of this study is to assess & compare the effectiveness of 3 different modalities in this respect: Mannitol, Dopamine and adequate hydration.

The objective of this protocol is to test the effectiveness of a Jumpstart intervention on patient-centered outcomes for patients with chronic illness by ensuring that they receive care that is concordant with their goals over time, and across settings and providers. This study is particularly interested in understanding the effect of the intervention to improve quality of palliative care for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) but will also include other common chronic, life-limiting illnesses. The specific aims are: To evaluate the efficacy of the Survey-based Patient/Clinician Jumpstart compared to the EHR based clinician Jumpstart and usual care for improving quality of care; the primary outcome is EHR documentation of a goals-of-care discussion from randomization through hospitalization or 30 days. Secondary outcomes include: a) intensity of care outcomes (e.g., ICU use, ICU and hospital length of stay, costs of care during the hospitalization, 7 and 30 day readmission); and b) patient- and family-reported outcomes assessed by surveys at 3 days and 4 weeks after randomization, including occurrence and quality of goals-of-care discussions in the hospital, goal-concordant care, psychological symptoms, and quality of life. To conduct a mixed-methods evaluation of the implementation of the intervention, guided by the RE-AIM framework for implementation science, incorporating quantitative evaluation of the intervention's reach and adoption, as well as qualitative analyses of interviews with participants, to explore barriers and facilitators to future implementation and dissemination.

Patients with kidney failure rely on dialysis for sodium and fluid removal. The importance of a sodium and fluid balance in patients with kidney disease is very important. Excess volume has been consistently associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Many peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients need large volumes of dextrose or Icodextrin based solutions to achieve fluid removal. Commonly used PD solutions also have high sodium concentrations to limit sugar absorption. These PD fluids can reduce the amount of sodium removed and may eventually lead to water retention over time with possible adverse outcomes. This research study is being conducted to determine if a single eight-hour dwell of intraperitoneal sodium-free 30% Icodextrin / 10% Dextrose solution is safe, tolerable and effective in achieving sodium and volume removal in PD patients.

In this study, the effect of optimizing the dialytic technique using simple questionnaires carried out in clinical routine will be described. More specifically, the conventional dialysis technique will be combined with biofeedback software called HemoControl™. The recovery time and quality of life of patients who will use a polyethersulfone membrane (Revaclear®) and a Medium Cut-Off (MCO) membrane (Theranova®) will be observed. The main objective is to describe the evolution of recovery time after a dialysis session in conventional hemodialysis (HD) on Revaclear® membrane and in so-called optimized hemodialysis (HDx) on MCO membrane, Theranova®.

The study is a single-center, open, single-dose, self-controlled clinical trial. It is planned to enroll 24-30 subjects. Subjects will take the SHR6390 on Day1.
