Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency"

Risk of contrast-induced kidney injury is expected to be strongly correlated with exposure time. Studies on the excretion of iodinated contrast material are few and have mostly been carried out in patients with normal renal function. Although case wise reports of persistent renograms have been published, it is not known how long contrast is retained before excretion in patients with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2, nor which of these patients are most susceptible to contrast retention. The current observational study aims to compare contrast elimination time and % contrast excretion in patients with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2, to matched patients (for age, sex and contrast procedure type) with eGFR 30-59 and eGFR >=60 mL/min/1.73m2.

The purpose of this study is to find new blood and urine tests that detect acute kidney injury earlier than our current blood tests in patients receiving a liver transplant.

Impaired kidney function is associated with a poor outcome in patients with heart failure but it is not known of this is the case for patients who have been born with their heart condition (congenital heart disease). This study aims to investigate how frequently patients with congenital heart disease have kidney disease and whither this does have an impact on their outcome. The hypothesis is that kidney dysfunction will be common in these patients and may have an impact on long-term health and life-expectancy.

Four subjects were treated under compassionate use provisions under this study with facilitating cell therapy (FCRx)

Open label, multi-center, expanded access study for renal transplant patients with once daily Envarsus XR (Tacrolimus).

This study evaluates the influence of the taste sensitivity, of food preferences and of the reward system on the energetic balance before and after liver transplantation in cirrhotic patients and after kidney transplantation in renal failure patients

This study was designed to determine the association between preoperative and postoperative hypoalbuminemia and AKI in older age hip fracture surgeons, to determine which period of hypoalbuminemia contributes more to AKI development, the incidence of AKI according to anesthesia type, the presence of other factors affecting AKI development, the duration of hospitalization and cost- to be investigated.

Patients with Sepsis / Septic Shock and AKI are submitted to Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy with the oXiris filter . The pro- inflammatory mediators , the endotoxin , interleukin 10 , the main cardiorespiratory indices and renal parameters are evaluated at the entry of the study and at the end of the treatment.

This prospective study will take place at Hotel Dieu de France hospital in Lebanon. One hundred children undergoing cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease between May 2020 and May 2021 will be included. After obtaining the informed consent of the parents, demographic and surgical information will be collected. Serum creatinine, lactic acid, urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin marker (NGAL), and oxygen (O2) saturation will be measured before the operation. A pediatric NIRS sensor will be placed on the right side below the costo-vertebral angle overlying the right kidney and continuous regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) will be recorded every 5 to 10 minutes throughout the operation until 24 hours after surgery. The children will be divided into 2 groups; 50 each. Grp 1: No clinical intervention was performed based on NIRS values. Grp 2: several maneuvers are performed such as an increase in cardiac output, temperature, hemoglobin to optimize the value of NIRS > 80%. All patients will receive standard standard care during the study period and continuous infusion of furosemide (0.5-1 mg / kg / 6 hours) within the first 24-48 hours postoperatively will be administered to all patients. Creatinine and lactic acid will be measured immediately postoperatively and then once a day until D2 and D7. The urinary NGAL marker will be dosed immediately postoperatively and then at 2h, 6h, 12h and 24h with hourly monitoring of diuresis and NIRS until 24h postoperatively.
