Active clinical trials for "Kidney Failure, Chronic"

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether Aggressive duplex surveillance after vascular access surgery with native vein for hemodialysis can increase the maturation rate of arteriovenous fistula. This study will be conducted as a single center, prospective, 1:1 randomized study. Enrolled patients will be randomized as a control group (Physical exam at 2 and 4 weeks after surgery) and duplex group (duplex study and physical exam at 2 and 4 weeks after surgery). Maturation of arteriovenous fistula will be evaluated at 8 weeks after surgery by duplex in all patients.

This study assessed the comparability of the pharmacokinetics (PK) of epoetin following intravenous administration of Hospira Epoetin and Epogen/Epoetin Alfa (Amgen) in patients with chronic renal failure receiving hemodialysis treatment.

Patients with renal impairment are usually advised to increase their fluid intake. There is currently, however, no evidence supporting this recommendation. In contrast,high fluid intake could be dangerous if urine excretion is reduced. In this study the researchers investigate whether increasing fluid intake from 2 to 4 litres per day has any influence on long-term renal outcome.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the longevity of two dialysis catheters.

The primary objective is to investigate the ability of systemic intravenous antibiotic plus antibiotic/anti-biofilm (i.e. N-acetylcysteine) lock catheter technique in eradicating uncomplicated catheter associated bacteremia and salvaging the infected vascular catheter. Secondary objectives include duration to clearance of bacteremia, future recurrence of bacteremia, need for catheter removal and death.

The aim of this study was to compare the dual use of telmisartan and captopril vs the individual use of such drugs and placebo on the systemic inflammation of patients on hemodialysis (HD).

The purpose of this study was to determine the dose ranges of peginesatide administered intravenously or subcutaneously that maintained hemoglobin in participants on dialysis whose hemoglobin values were stable on epoetin (alfa or beta).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether cinacalcet + low dose vitamin D attenuates the progression of vascular calcification over one year, compared with a treatment regimen that includes flexible vitamin D dosing in the absence of cinacalcet, in subjects with chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis

The purpose of this study is to test a novel distance-based (telephone) intervention to help transplant candidates with current or recent substance abuse to stay "clean and sober" both prior and following transplant surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inflow pain using an experimental peritoneal dialysis solution compared to a current solution for the management of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
