AST-120 (Kremezin®) for the Renal Protection and Attenuation of Decline in Acute Kidney Disease
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of AST-120 (Kremezin®) in combination with standard care in reducing the levels of protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs), specifically indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (p-CS), in patients with acute kidney disease (AKD). The trial aims to assess whether …
Retro-active Immunological Tolerance in Patients With Well-functioning Pre-existing HLA-identical Kidney Transplants
The study seeks to determine if patients with a pre-existing, well-functioning kidney transplant from a HLA-identical living donor can be withdrawn from immunosuppressive medications without compromising allograft function through hematopoietic stem cell (HPSC) infusion from the same donor. HPSC infusion will be preceded by a conditioning regimen of total lymphoid …
Regional Citrate Anticoagulation for RRT During V-V ECMO
Anticoagulation is an essential component of all extracorporeal therapies. Currently locoregional citrate anticoagulation is the recommended technique for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). However, low clearance of citrate restricts its use to blood flow up to 150 mL/min, preventing its use in ECMO. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is commonly provided …
Non-invasive Measurement of the Hypotension Prediction Index for the Reduction of Intraoperative Hypotension
In order to reduce the incidence of IOH, various goal-directed therapy (GDT) protocols have already been introduced with success regarding the reduction of postoperative AKI and MINS. However, these studies used an invasive hemodynamic monitoring which offered a continuous surveillance of the blood pressure. In contrast, standard non-invasive blood pressure …
Blood Pressure Slopes and Ultrafiltration in Hemodialysis Patients
Kidney failure has been recognized as one of the most costly chronic conditions among United States Veterans. Approximately 13,000 Veterans develop kidney failure each year, and most require hemodialysis initiation. Hemodialysis patients suffer significantly increased risk of death and hospitalizations, and excessive body fluid is a major cause of this. …
Maintaining or Stopping Immunosuppressive Therapy in Patients With ANCA Vasculitis and End-stage Renal Disease
This prospective randomized trial aims to evaluate the feasibility, risk and benefit of the discontinuation of immunosuppressive maintenance treatments in AAV (Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis) patients who have reached ESRD (end-stage renal disease). Our hypothesis is that discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy in AAV patients with ESRD will not expose …
REducing Sympathetic Activity Through Ultrasound-based Renal deneRvation in Excessive Cardiovascular Risk populaTions.
The is a non-randomized pilot trial, open-label evaluation of the physiologic response of native kidney denervation using the Paradise denervation system in CKD, End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and Heart failure (HF)
Testosterone Treatment in Men With Chronic Kidney Disease
This study in being conducted in men who have low testosterone and chronic kidney disease. The investigators will evaluate the effects of an oral testosterone preparation, JATENZO, on testosterone levels and hemoglobin (red blood cells).
Safety and Efficacy of HA380 Hemoadsorption in Patients With Septic Shock
Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in patients with septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) remains high and approximates 50-60%. Sepsis is the leading etiology for AKI and CRRT …
The Effect of Vasopressor Therapy on Renal Perfusion in Septic Shock
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of septic shock and together these conditions carry a high mortality risk. In septic patients who develop severe AKI renal cortical perfusion is deficient despite normal macrovascular organ blood flow. This intra-renal perfusion abnormality may be amenable to pharmacological manipulation, which may …
