Active clinical trials for "Kidney Failure, Chronic"

Measuring novel proteins in the urine of surgical patients that can be used to diagnose impending acute or chronic renal failure.

We hope to study components within the blood that may predict success, failure or other associated complications in relation to the type of vascular access being used.

This project will bank sera, DNA and vascular specimens from patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula creation and revision.

This study intends to analyze the clinical characteristics of teenagers admitted to pediatric wards due to organic illness and non organic diagnosis, including patients suffering from chronic diseases and comorbidity.

Residual renal function is reported to contribute to the survival and cardiovascular disease of peritoneal dialysis patients. Oxidative and carbonyl stress are increased in peritoneal dialysis patients and are associated with cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to determine the relations between residual renal function and oxidative and carbonyl stress in peritoneal dialysis patients.

The objective of the international, multicenter case-control study was to evaluate the association between end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and use of non-phenacetin-containing analgesics with particular emphasis on combined formulations.

This study is a multicenter, open-label, observational, postmarketing surveillance study that will collect information on the use of Genentech growth hormone (GH) preparations to treat children with CRI in the United States.

To identify genes causing hypertensive end-stage renal disease (H-ESRD) in high risk African-American populations

Home dialysis modalities, including peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD), represent alternatives to conventional in-center hemodialysis (HD) that for some patients may be better aligned with preferences regarding the integration of dialysis treatments into their lives. Assessment of patient experience and satisfaction with care among individuals undergoing maintenance dialysis in the United States is a national health care priority and mandated by Congress. While validated instruments (ICH CAHPS) are in use to assess patient experience with in-center HD, currently no validated instruments are available to measure patient-reported experience in home dialysis. This Home Patient Experience Survey Validation Study is an in-house research study conducted in partnership with the University of Washington.

The SPECKLE- KIDNEY-PED is a multicentre observational controlled trial aiming to evaluate the 2D-Speckle tracking in a population of 85 patients aged from 6 to 17 years old with a chronic renal disease and to compare the results to those of 85 age and gender-matched healthy subjects. The secondary objective is to assess the conventional echocardiographic parameters and the level of exercice capacity.
