The Efficacy and Safety of Sodium-glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Patients With Acute Kidney Disease
Acute kidney disease (AKD) happens between 7 and 90 days after an initial kidney injury (AKI). This period is crucial because it can determine whether the condition worsens into chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite knowing this, there is no proven treatment to improve outcomes for people with AKD. Recent studies …
Short-term Effects of an SGLT2 Inhibitor on Divalent Ions in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
This study aims to better understand electrolyte handling in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease treated with the SGLT2 inhibitor Empagliflozin. Patients will be randomized into two groups and take Empagliflozin or a Placebo for 2 weeks with a wash-out period of 2 weeks. The primary outcome is tubular …
Sotagliflozin to Slow Kidney Function Decline in Persons With Type 1 Diabetes and Diabetic Kidney Disease
Powerful new drugs that can prevent or delay end stage kidney disease (ESKD) - so called sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) - are now available for patients with type 2 diabetes. Whether these drugs have similar effects in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains unknown because of the few studies …
Intravenous vs. Oral Hydration to Reduce the Risk of Post-Contrast Acute Kidney Injury After Intravenous Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography in Patients With Severe Chronic Kidney Disease
The use of contrast media (CM) poses a risk of post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI), especially among patients chronic kidney disease (CKD). International guidelines recommend intravenous (IV) hydration with isotonic 0.9% NaCl for three-four hours pre-contrast and four-six hours post-contrast. Recent studies have proven that oral hydration or no hydration …
Pain Reduction Using NEurostimulation Study
This is a 4-year project to see if a small battery-powered, device attached to a headband, that sits on the skin surface and delivers what is a hardly noticeable level of electrical stimulation can reduce pain in patients who receive hemodialysis on an ongoing basis.
HED-Start: Evaluating a Positive Skills Intervention for Patients New on Haemodialysis
Hemodialysis patients often experience barriers and misperceptions that hinder adjustment to life on dialysis. This study seeks to explore a group-based intervention (titled HED-Start) developed to improve self-care and emotional wellbeing among incident hemodialysis patients.
Interest of Follicular Helper Lymphocytes / Regulatory Follicular Helper Lymphocytes Ratio in IgA Nephropathy
This study aims to investigate the relevance of the Tfh/Tfr (Follicular helper T cells/ Follicular regulatory T cells) ratio in patients with IgA nephropathy: To identify a differential expression of the Tfh/Tfr ratio in patients considered stable or progressive To predict, at diagnosis, the clinical evolution of the disease (progressive …
Combination of Novel Therapies for CKD Comorbid Depression
The overall goal of the study is to determine if treatment of a Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) improves the outcomes of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We showed that MDD is present in 25% of CKD patients and independently associated with progression to End-Stage Kidney Disease, hospitalization, and death. …
Exercise Improves Gastrointestinal Function in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
This study will investigate the impact of exercise on gastrointestinal function in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Efficacy of Immunosuppressive Therapy for IgA Nephropathy With Stage 3 or 4 CKD
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of low-dose oral corticosteroids combined with cyclophosphamide therapy and low-dose corticosteroids monotherapy, on a background of maximal RAS inhibitor therapy, for IgA nephropathy with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease.
