Evaluation of Integrated Versus Parallel Connection for Renal Replacement Therapy in ECMO Patients
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an extra-corporeal assistance used in case of respiratory or circulatory failure. In case of circulatory failure, ECMO is in the veno-arterial configuration (VA-ECMO). VA-ECMO patients are at high risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) may be needed in 50% …
Carvedilol + Simvastatin vs. Carvedilol Alone for Cirrhosis and Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy and Impact on Hepatic Decompensation and Survival
Cirrhosis and portal hypertension are associated with a hyperdynamic circulation and decompensation events, including development of ascites, variceal bleeding, acute kidney injury, and susceptibility to infections. Rationale Cirrhosis and portal hypertension are associated with a hyperdynamic circulation and decompensation events, including ascites, variceal bleeding, acute kidney injury, and susceptibility to …
Maturation of Arteriovenous Fistula With Automated Sonography Assessments Trial
This is a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, randomized trial to quantify the performance of the EchoMark®/EchoSure® System for AVF diagnostic ultrasound when used under a protocol of biweekly use for assessing fistula maturation and reducing time to Clinical Maturation.
Hypertonic Saline Solution to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury After Heart Transplantation
The goal of this study is to evaluate if hypertonic saline solution can prevent or attenuate acute kidney injury after heart transplantation in the early postoperative phase.
Initial Resuscitation for Acute Kidney Injury in Cirrhosis
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate two strategies for how to provide intravenous (IV) fluids for treating patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhosis. The main question it aims to answer is: what is the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of providing a recommendation to use a …
Empagliflozin Treatment in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Kidney transplantation improves the health and quality of life for those Veterans with end stage kidney disease (ESKD). While early patient and graft survival are excellent, long-term outcomes continue to be challenging. Patient death with existing kidney graft function occurs in about half of all recipients over time. This is …
Fluid-removal Guided by VeXUS Score With Usual Care in Patients With Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery
Acute kidney injury affects more than 30% of patients after cardiac surgery, and is associated with an excess in mortality. There is a clinical continuum between acute kidney injury (transient if <48h, persistent if >48h), the development of acute kidney and chronic renal failure. Each of these entities characterising renal …
The Effect of Dexmedetomidine on the Renal Functions in Septic Critically Ill Patients
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine in Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury in critically ill patients by answering the following questions: What is dexmedetomidine's effect on kidney functions? What is the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine in Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury? The investigator will compare dexmedetomidine to …
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 …
HRS-AKI Treatment With TIPS in Patients With Cirrhosis
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of TIPS implantation in patients with HRS-AKI (stage 2 and 3) and liver cirrhosis with standard therapy (drug therapy with terlipressin + albumin).
