Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LCP-Tacro (tacrolimus) Tablets administered once-a-day compared to Prograf (tacrolimus) Capsules twice-a-day as immunosuppression for the prevention of organ rejection in newly transplanted adult kidney transplant recipients. Patients will be treated for a 12 month study period followed by a 12 month, blinded extension treatment period To show that LCP-Tacro Tablets are clinically similar to Prograf Capsules in the prevention of acute rejection.

To supplement the current evidence of the effect of Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate) on coagulation parameters, including a calibrated thrombin time test, in patients with moderate renal impairment undergoing elective total hip- or knee-replacement surgery, this PK/PD study will be conducted.

This study is to evaluate the variability of several pharmacodynamic measures of kidney function, cardiovascular function, cerebral perfusion, and haemodynamics.

The overall aim is to conduct a human physiologic study to assess the renal and neurohumoral effects of CD-NP vs placebo in older subjects with stable chronic systolic heart failure and moderate renal dysfunction.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with cirrhosis of the liver and renal failure and determine if the administration of rifaximin as compared to lactulose is associated with less frequent and/or slower progression to severe hepatic encephalopathy. If one is associated with lower blood ammonia levels. And, if one is associated with lower breath hydrogen and methane levels.

Kidney transplantation is widely considered to be the treatment of choice for children with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of sirolimus monotherapy for long-term immunosuppression in children and adolescents after kidney transplantation.

Renal hypoxia plays an important role in the development of contrast-induced nephropathy. The purpose of the PRINCIPLE study is to investigate the effect of pretreatment with intravenous nicorandil on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with renal insufficiency undergoing coronary angiography.

The purpose of this sudy is to determined the effect of dialysate volume and treatment time on phosphate and calcium removal in stage V chronickidney disease patients treated by hemodialysis using the System One (NxStage Medical, Lawrence, MA)

The primary objective is to determine if the use of losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, can attenuate left ventricular hypertrophy, independent of its antihypertensive effects, in patients with near end stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have an arteriovenous fistula created. Secondary outcomes include the impact of the medication on BNP and hyperkalaemia

Fondaparinux is an antithrombotic agent having already received a regulatory approval by the European Authorities in venous thromboembolic event prevention after major orthopaedic surgery, as total hip replacement (THR), total knee replacement (TKR), hip fracture (HF). The bleeding risk associated with this prescription is highly related to renal function evaluated by creatinin clearance (CrCl). In order to reduce the bleeding risk, it has been proposed to prescribe fondaparinux 1.5 mg/day in patients with a CrCl between 20 and 50ml/mn instead of 2.5mg/day (European MMA). In the meantime, this approval is essentially based on simulated pharmakinetic data without any support of clinical data. prospective, multicentre, open-label study evaluating the safety profile of fondaparinux 1.5 mg/day, subcutaneously administered, in patients with a renal impairment defined by a CrCl between 20 and 30 ml/min and undergoing a major orthopaedic surgery.
