Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

This study is intended to assess the safety and tolerance of regadenoson in subjects with renal impairment.

This is an open-label, single-arm, baseline-controlled, multicenter efficacy and safety switch study involving 500 CKD subjects suffering from anemia and treated previously with a stable dose of ESA s.c. Correction of anemia will be maintained by s.c. administration of HX575 in two frequencies (i.e. qw and q2w), in order to maintain an Hb target range of 10.0-12.0 g/dL.

The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized, controlled clinical trial to investigate if the phosphate binder sevelamer can improve insulin resistance and glucose handling in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether converting from calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) therapy to sirolimus therapy will be more effective than continuing calcineurin inhibitor therapy with respect to renal function in cardiac transplant recipients with mild to moderate renal dysfunction.

To compare renal function (51Cr-EDTA clearance) 48 hours post open-heart surgery (coronary bypass or valve surgery) in patients with impaired renal function after randomization to either nifedipine infusion at start of surgery and the following 24 hours or placebo (0.9% saline infusion). Study hypothesis is that nifedipine has a prophylactic effect on decline in renal function.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects on kidney function of two contrast media, the iso-osmolar iodixanol and the low-osmolar iopamidol in patients at risk of kidney damage associated with the injection of contrast media. A standard hydration procedure, based on available guidelines will be given to all patients to prevent negative effects on the kidneys. Serum creatinine (SCr ) concentrations will be measured before and up to 7 days after contrast media administration to evaluate the effects on renal function.

The purpose of this study is to map the population of stage 4 and 5 kidney failure patients followed in consultation by the CHSF nephrology team and to determine the factors associated with recurrent hospitalizations.

This is a prospective observational study in people treated with peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure to investigate whether estimated intraperitoneal pressure (eIPP) is correlated with non-infectious PD-related complications in end-stage renal failure patients. It looks to understand how both peritoneal dialysis complications (including fluid leaks and hernias) along with gastrointestinal symptoms are associated with eIPP in people treated with PD.

The main objective of this study is to show that the systematic use of a prognostic score as early as possible after the initiation of dialysis in patients over 70 years of age and with a good prognosis at 3 years of dialysis results in an increase in the number of entries on a kidney transplant waiting list at 12 months after the initiation of dialysis. This prospective assessment is carried out as part of a historico-prospective before-after study in parallel with a survey of changes in national practices over the same time period via a here-elsewhere type study. Historical data (i.e the. "before" period) will include incident dialysis cases during the calendar years 2013, 2014 and 2015 before the start of the prospective phase (i.e. "after" period, which is represented by the current declaration); since a preliminary study demonstrated that the data are comparable from 2011 to 2013, we will use the average of data thus obtained. Historical data will be retrieved from the REIN (The French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network) registry data and will be validated by investigators at each center.

The objective of this study is to nake a comparison between 11c-acetate and 11c-acetoacetate kidney uptake in chronic kidney failure patients.
