NCT05727579
SGLT2 inhibitors such as ertugliflozin improve blood pressure and kidney outcomes in people living with diabetes through incompletely understood mechanisms, however, not all patients treated with SGLT2 inhibition have improved outcomes. Changes in kidney sodium handling is among the mechanisms by which SGLT2 inhibition may reduce blood pressure and drive beneficial kidney outcomes. This process is heavily dependent on daily sodium intake by patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. In this study, the effect of daily sodium intake on SGLT2-inhibitor induced physiological effect is studied, including blood pressure regulation and kidney physiology.
NCT05215652
Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, ischaemic heart disease, and kidney disease. One major cause for uncontrolled blood pressure in spite of prescribed pharmacotherapy was found to be non-adherence including erratic use of prescribed medication. General practitioners (GP) face limitations when a guideline-conform therapy fails. A new tool to measure and assess medication adherence could be useful to identify patients who are not using medicine as prescribed. This provides new opportunities for patient-specific recommendations and adjustments of treatment. Our aim is to assess the usefulness of the adherence package AMoPac to identify non-adherence in hypertensive patients nonresponding to treatment in daily practice.
NCT05052892
Portal hypertension contributed to the main complications of liver cirrhosis. Currently, hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) was the reference standard for evaluating portal pressure in patients with cirrhosis. However, the practice of HVPG is limited to require the extensive experience and highly specialized centers. In recent years, non-invasive methods were proposed to predict the degree of cirrhotic portal hypertension. Of them, liver stiffness measured by FibroScan had shown good performance for predicting clinically significant portal hypertension. However, the correlation between liver stiffness and HVPG was poor when HVPG was more than 12mmHg. Since the spleen was stiffer than the liver, the current vibration-controlled transient elastography examination is dedicated to the liver, rather than the spleen. Very recently, a novel spleen-dedicated stiffness measured by FibroScan was proposed. The prospective, multicenter study aims to evaluate the correlation between SS (measured by the novel FibroScan) and HVPG, and further develop a novel model based on SS for predicting the liver decompensation in patients with compenstaed cirrhosis.
