Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

Observational study

Patients with acute hip fractures are old and vulnerable. With a majoriry classified as being ASA 3 or more. Frequently they receive spinal anesthesia perioperatively inducing hypotension. Even a short hypotensive period may induce postop cardiac T roponinT leakage as well as renal failure noted by Changes in Serum Creatinin or Cýstatin C This will be investigated and correlated to intraoperative hypotension as step one. Preliminary this will be followed by an intervention with vasopressor treatment perioperatively to preserve an adequte MABP

In this study, prognostically relevant biomarkers for cardiovascular / renal insufficiencies will be clinically evaluated, to improve the course of assessment of such disease and to gain new insights into the typical course of congestive heart failure. This is a prerequisite to allow patients to appropriate treatment as soon as possible.

This cross-sectional study was conducted, including those subjects tested for 1,25(OH)2D during Jan 2015-Dec 2021. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated and subjects were classified into chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages. Associations between biochemical marker, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, 1,25(OH)2D and CKD stages was determined.

Primary Objective: The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of convection achieved with two different haemodiafilters designed for haemodiafiltration and clotting during haemodiafiltration treatment.

This study consists of two substudies. The first substudy: 'Renal resistive index in critically ill patients with cardiogenic and septic shock' Design: cross-sectional observational Aim of this project is: to determine whether critically ill patients with cardiogenic and septic shock have an elevated Renal Resistive Index and to determine whether Renal Resistive Index differs between cardiogenic/hypovolemic shock and shock due to sepsis/systemic inflammation (SIRS) to determine the relation between the (change in) renal vascular resistance and Markers of the systemic - and the microcirculation Fluid status as quantified by bioimpedance analysis Concomitant renal function The second substudy: 'Predictive value of the Renal Resistive Index on ICU admission and its course for the development of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with cardiogenic and septic shock' Design: longitudinal observational The aim of this project is: to determine whether the renal resistance index on admission to the intensive care unit can predict the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients with shock to investigate if the renal resistance index on admission to the intensive care unit is an independent predictor of the development of AKI or depends on the severity and duration of shock and other known risk factors of AKI such as comorbidity and use of nephrotoxic drugs Aim of the large research project is to determine whether the Renal Resistive Index could become a monitoring tool for intervention studies aiming to prevent acute kidney injury or protect the kidney.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death of dialysis patients and poor fluid management is associated with the increased risk. One of the principal limitations in avoiding chronic fluid overload in this patient group is the refilling rate the rate at which fluid is transferred from tissues into the vascular system. If this rate cannot match the prescribed rate of fluid removal during dialysis the patient will end up with chronic fluid overload. Two proposed methods of increasing the rate of refilling are intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices, which increase the pressure of the fluid in tissue, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) which activates the muscle pump and lymphatic drainage. This investigation will trial the use of these two methods in patients suspected of having inadequate refilling rates. Outcome measures will be based on fluid status, presence of oedema and quality of life.

We believe that knowing characteristics of uremic pruritus is the foundation to investigate its pathophysiology and offer better skin care for patients with chronic kidney disease. We therefore conducted this cross-sectional study to evaluate the characteristics of uraemic pruritus.

The aim of the study is to characterize the influence of continuous veno-venous hemodialysis on the cerebrovascular autoregulation.

The primary objective is to demonstrate a longer period of neurologic recovery from a sensory block assessed in each test group versus the group without metabolic disease.
