Proteinuria in Renal Transplant Patients Treated With Dapagliflozin
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease is rising steadily and represents a major public health challenge. Hypertension and proteinuria are two factors strongly associated with the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the high risk of cardiovascular complications. Achieving blood pressure control and reducing proteinuria is therefore a major …
Pioglitazone to Reduce Sympathetic Overactivity in CKD Patients
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death. An overactive sympathetic nervous system in CKD patients is one of the major mechanisms increasing the cardiovascular risks in this patient population. Recently, some studies have shown that a drug typically used to improve glucose …
Mindfulness in Chronic Kidney Disease
This study will test whether mindfulness meditation (MM) improves sympathetic function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and whether transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) optimizes the sympatho-inhibitory effects of mindfulness meditation (MM) and restores autonomic balance in CKD patients.
Safety and Efficacy of KDSTEM Inj. in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
A Single arm, Open-labelled, Dose-escalation, Single-center, Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of Autologous Urine-derived Stem Cells, 『KDSTEM Inj.』, in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of KDSTEM Inj. in the treatment in …
Effect of Empagliflozin on Podocyte Specific Proteins in African American Veterans With NDKD
Primary Objective:To study podocyte specific injury markers in African American Veterans with non-diabetic kidney disease(NDKD), on empagliflozin therapy. Primary Endpoint: Assess the effect of Empagliflozin on podocyte-specific proteins in exosomes isolated from subjects' urine, such as nephrin, podocalyxin and Wilms'Tumor (WT-1) protein. Secondary Objective: Correlate changes in exosome-based podocyte specific …
A Pilot Study of The CKM JumpStart Tool
This is a randomized pilot study to test the feasibility and acceptability of a tool to promote discussion about conservative kidney management (CKM) among older patients with advanced CKD and their providers.
ODYSSEE Kidney Health Trial
INTRODUCTION Severe CKD is defined as a risk of greater than 10% for progressing to RRT [home hemodialysis (HHD), home peritoneal dialysis (HPD), and transplantation] within 2 years. There is a need to improve access to CKD self-care counselling and RRT education for patients with severe CKD. Trials of CKD …
Nurse-led Physician-supported Care for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Multimorbidity
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent chronic disease and is often intertwined with the management of cardiovascular disease and the optimization of metabolic risk factors. In light of steeply rising rates of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and increased healthcare resource utilization by CKD patients, the investigators propose that the …
Renoprotective Effects of Dapagliflozin Versus Pentoxiphylline in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
Kidneys have a vital role in glucose homeostasis by various mechanisms, one of the major mechanisms is through SGLT2. This role was commonly overlooked till development of the new SGLT2 inhibitors. (Ni, L., et al 2020) The SGLT2 inhibitor class of glucose-lowering agents has recently shown beneficial effects to reduce …
The Role of Skin Sodium Accumulation in Chronic Kidney Disease
This project consists of four substudies: a cohort study (A) and a sodium intake intervention (B) and a sodium excretion intervention (C) and a water intervention study (D). The main objective of the cohort study (A) is to investigate the prognostic implications of tissue sodium accumulation in CKD patients. The …
