NCT00912821
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important model of renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Thus far, evidence for the initiation dosage of PD treatment is lacking, most patients begin their PD with four 2 L exchanges per day. However, many patients have their residual renal function at the initiation of PD, an 8 L dialysate per day will enhance the toxicity of bioincompatible dialysate and increase the economic burden compared with that of 6 L dialysate per day. Thus, the investigators perform a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical study. The patients initiation of PD treatment within 6 months are randomized to be assigned to two groups: 6 L of dialysate per day and 8 L of dialysate per day, follow up will be regularly performed until 96 weeks. Clinical outcomes such as mortality, complications and life quality between the two groups will be investigated.
NCT01340586
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of 5 mg Apixaban in subjects with normal renal function and subjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD) maintained with hemodialysis.

Treatment of infections in critically ill patients remains a significant challenge to intensivists world-wide with persisting high mortality and morbidity. Compelling evidence suggests that source control of the pathogen and appropriate antibiotic therapy remain the most important interventions to improve patients' outcome, the latter including the administration of a suitable molecule at an optimized dosage regimen. Daptomycin is the first representative of a new family of antibiotics, the cyclic lipopeptides. Its bactericidal effect against Gram-positive bacteria, including meticillin-resistant strains, and its low renal toxicity, make it a useful antibiotic in critically ill patients having infections due to resistant Gram positive strains. Unfortunately, no PK study has been performed in infected critically ill patients without renal replacement therapy. A vast array of pathophysiological changes can occur in infected critically ill patients, leading to changes in volume of distribution and clearance of antibiotics in these patients, which may affect the antibiotic concentration at the target site. It is therefore important to better characterize daptomycin PK in infected patients with various degrees of renal failure in order to define optimal dosing regimens. This project aims to identify optimal daptomycin administration schemes in critical care patients with various degrees of renal impairment
