Effect of Strict Blood Pressure Control and ACE-Inhibition on Progression of Chronic Renal Failure...
ChildrenChronic Renal Failure3 moreIn children with chronic kidney disease, progression to end-stage renal failure is associated with high patient morbidity and poor quality of life. In adults, inhibition of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) slows down the rate of renal failure progression. This concept is as yet unproven in children, in whom chronic renal failure (CRF) is more commonly due to hypo/dysplastic malformations than to acquired glomerulopathies as typical for adult chronic kidney disease. The current project aims at assessing the genetic and molecular mechanisms and cardiovascular consequences of progressive CRF and to develop a strategy of pharmacological renoprotection in children.

BNP for Cardio-Renal Decompensation Syndrome (BNP-CARDS)
Congestive Heart Failure ExacerbationRenal InsufficiencyMany patients with exacerbations of heart failure have significant concomitant kidney dysfunction. The combination of these two conditions makes pharmacological management difficult. In this study, we plan to randomize patients with heart failure and kidney dysfunction to receive infusions of Natrecor (B-type Natriuretic Peptide)--which may be beneficial to the management of these two diseases--or placebo.

Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Stiripentol in Renal Impaired Patients and Matching Controls With...
Chronic Renal InsufficiencyThe purpose of this study is to determine whether the pharmacokinetics (PK) of stiripentol and of its relevant metabolites would be altered in subjects with renal impairment compared with normal controls in order to assess the need of dose adjustment in the renal impaired population. This study will include subjects with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment.
