NCT02686619
This multicentre, prospective, randomized, open-label study will compare the safety and efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil with delayed introduction of sirolimus and discontinuation of cyclosporine, with those of mycophenolate mofetil and long term continuation of cyclosporine in renal transplant recipients receiving daclizumab (Zenapax) as induction treatment and followed by 8 month treatment with corticosteroids. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months. Participants who will complete the initial 12-month study and who will provide written informed consent will be eligible to participate in a 60-month follow-up phase.
NCT01839084
Purpose of this study is to determine whether Xenon - as compared to Isoflurane - shows a nephroprotection after partial nephrectomy.
NCT00828737
Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment scheduled for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and injection with a contrast agent, Gadovist, will be asked to participate. The administration of contrast agents that contain gadolinium such as Gadovist might increase a potential risk to develop a rare condition called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with renal impairment. This study is to assess the potential risk to develop NSF in patients with renal impairment after the administration of Gadovist. Patients who are enrolled in this study will receive a Gadovist enhanced MRI scan which was prescribed by the referring doctor. After the MRI scan the patient will be included in a two year follow-up period to assess if signs or symptoms suggestive of NSF have appeared.
NCT02683291
There is no consensus on the best immunosuppressive regimen in elderly people. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of sirolimus associated with tacrolimus in elderly kidney transplant recipients. The investigators will conduct a single-center prospective randomized study comparing the combination of tacrolimus with sirolimus at reduced dose rate (tacrolimus + sirolimus group) against tacrolimus with mycophenolate (tacrolimus + mycophenolate group). The investigators will include all kidney transplant patients over 60 years of age. The investigators will evaluate estimated glomerular filtration rate and incidence of cytomegalovirus in 12 month follow-up.
NCT02617784
This study is designed to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of oseltamivir and its metabolite oseltamivir carboxylate in participants undergoing routine HD and CAPD for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Participants will receive 6.5 and 6 weeks of the marketed oral oseltamivir suspension dosed according to the HD or CAPD schedule, respectively.
NCT02469467
The purpose is to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of VS-505 when given with meal for 8 weeks to hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia
NCT01328912
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) occurs when a tissue (ex. heart) becomes less vulnerable to an ischemic insult if a remote tissue (ex. arm) has had previous exposure to a period of ischemia and reperfusion. A beneficial effect of RIPC has been demonstrated in several randomized studies in patients undergoing cardiac and vascular surgery, as well as interventional cardiac procedures such as angioplasty. They have shown improvements in cardiac, renal, neurologic and respiratory function. Most have focused on surrogate outcomes, such as biochemical markers of cardiac and renal function in low-risk patients. No trials have investigated only high-risk patients or been designed to detect clinical outcomes. This study is a randomized-controlled trial powered to detect clinical events in a high-risk cohort undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Patients will be randomized to RIPC (exposed to cycles of inflation of a blood pressure cuff on the upper arm prior to undergoing surgery) or control (no ischemic stimulus). The investigators hypothesize this population will demonstrate lower rates of adverse ischemic events. The investigators also intend to sample biochemical markers to better elucidate the mechanism of RIPC and generate hypotheses for future studies and interventions. Post-operatively the investigators will monitor for adverse clinical outcomes including cardiac, renal, pulmonary and neurologic injury. RIPC is simple, inexpensive and easily reproducible and there have been no reports of adverse consequences. Post-operative ischemic events such as stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiac, renal and respiratory failure affect patient survival and quality of life, and represent a sizeable financial burden to health care. If beneficial effects of RIPC are demonstrated, it will be widely applicable to the entire population of cardiac and vascular patients resulting in a widely-implemented change in practice.
NCT01402089
It is well known that substantial interindividual variability of CYP3A4/1A2-phenotype activity is an important contributor to individual differences in the sensitivity to the frequently used tyrosine kinase inhibitors sunitinib and erlotinib. This study tests the potential for CYP-phenotyping to predict individual pharmacology and derive dosing algorithms for more tailored treatment of these drugs.
NCT00308906
The purposes of this study are to identify potential gene and protein markers of aminoglycoside-induced kidney injury in infants, children and adolescents treated with aminoglycoside antibiotics.
NCT01819038
This research project is a prospective study to compare mortality between early renal replacement therapy (RRT) and late renal replacement therapy by using plasma neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (pNGAL) as a tool in decision- making.
NCT02664246
This review article have included about ten thousand patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), aim to identify the incidence of CIN in actual, find some new risk factors and the protecting methods for these factors.
NCT02341885
A prospective international, multi-centre, prevalence study on the epidemiology of the use of renal replacement therapy for ICU patients who have acute kidney injury and chronic end stage kidney disease.
NCT02411604
Open label, multi-center, expanded access study for renal transplant patients with once daily Envarsus XR (Tacrolimus).
NCT02339246
The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of three different formulations of tacrolimus. Eligible patients will be treated with all three formulations in a pre-defined sequence.
NCT02096718
The primary objective of the current study is to investigate the influence of moderate to severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single dose afatinib in comparison to a control group with normal renal function. The assessment of safety and tolerability will be an additional objective of this trial and will be evaluated by descriptive statistics.
NCT01277497
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often have high levels of a substance called fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), a phosphorus excreting hormone, which has been related to heart disease. As kidney function declines, less phosphorus is removed by the kidneys and as a result phosphorus accumulates in the blood. In response to elevated phosphorus levels, more FGF-23 is released to help facilitate the excretion of extra phosphorus into the urine. In addition to effects on FGF-23, increased phosphorus levels can lead to calcification (hardening) of the blood vessels in the CKD population. Phosphate binding medicines are used in CKD patients to lower the amount of phosphorus absorbed by the stomach and intestines after eating meals and snacks. In patients with CKD, studies have shown that phosphate binders can lower FGF-23 levels in the blood. Lowering FGF-23 levels in CKD patients may also lower substances in the blood that cause calcification of blood vessels in the CKD population. This study is being done to determine if using phosphate binders, either sevelamer carbonate or calcium acetate, in the earlier stages kidney disease (before dialysis) can decrease FGF-23 and biomarkers (substances in the blood) associated with hardening of the blood vessels and heart disease.
NCT02655341
Aims: * evaluate the hydric status through bioimpedance spectroscopy in consecutive acute myocardial infarction patients referred for primary PCI; * assessment of renal artery stenosis incidence through renal angiography in consecutive STEMI patients; * fully characterize the complex hydration, metabolic and endothelial profile of these patients in the attempt to define the role played by dehydration in the complex dynamics of acute myocardial infarction.
NCT00324870
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with bevacizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic kidney cancer. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of kidney cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving vorinostat together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.

NCT02142101
Gut microbes can influence numerous aspects of human biology. Alterations in the function and composition of gut microbial flora (gut microbiota ) have been linked to inflammatory bowel disease, chronic inflammation, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, atopic disorders, cardiovascular disease, neoplasms, and obesity. However, little is known whether renal failure alters the composition of gut microbiota and whether an alteration in the gut microbiota of patients with renal failure impacts on the development of co-morbid conditions such as accelerated atherosclerosis, abnormal bone mineral metabolism, and chronic inflammation that are associated with renal failure. Nonetheless, several lines of evidence suggest that renal failure alters the chemical environment of the intestinal lumen, which could impose a selective pressure on the growth of certain gut microbes. The investigators hypothesize that the gut microbiota of patients with renal failure is different from those without renal failure. To test this hypothesis the investigators are conducting a cross-sectional study of gut microbiota in patients with different degrees of renal failure due to polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
