Chronic Kidney Disease-Education (CKD-EDU)
The investigators are conducting a study to see which program better helps older patients with kidney disease choose their treatment. Investigators are also investigating if either program can reduce the number of hospital or emergency room visits in the first 6 months of the study, as well as potentially improve …
The Renal Protective Effects of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
The incidence of Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is showing an upward trend, but the therapeutic effect of treatment is limited. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has the potential to safeguard remote organs via the repeated application of brief ischemic stimuli. the aim of our study is to investigate whether RIC can …
Melatonin for Prevention of Kidney Injury
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of melatonin for the prevention of antibiotic associated acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients.
Outcomes of Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR) in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The purpose of this research is to evaluate outcomes of physiologic insulin re-sensitization (PIR) in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
Venous Ultrasound Guided Organ Decongestion in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of VExUS guided organ decongestion compared to standard of care in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failue (ADHF). 180 patients will be randomly assigned to either intervention (VExUS) arm or standard of care (SOC) arm. In …
Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Tinzaparin During Slow Low Efficient Daily Dialysis in Intensive Care Patients
This study evaluates the pharmacokinetics of tinzaparin during renal replacement therapy (RRT). 60 patients with clinical indication for pharmacological thromboprophylaxis and slow low efficient daily dialysis (SLEDD) will be studied in Tampere University Hospital. All subjects will receive a 4500 IU bolus of tinzaparin. The subjects in study group (n=30) …
Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Treatment on Blood Pressure Control in Chronic Kidney Disease
The role of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not clear. This randomized clinical trial will test the impact of OSA treatment on blood pressure (BP) and on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with CKD IIIb and IV (eGFR 44-15 ml/min). A polygraph …
Sit Less, Interact and Move More (SLIMM) 2 Study
Prolonged sitting (sedentary behavior) is a risk factor for decreased kidney function, obesity, diabetes and mortality. Prolonged sitting is associated with decreased kidney function and increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and death. In a previous pilot study funded by NIH, it was shown that a Sit Less, Interact and …
Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of SGLT2i and GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Obese Patients With Kidney Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to exploring the changes in 24-hour urinary protein and renal function in obese patients with kidney disease after the application of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). Eligible patients were randomly and non-blindly allocated to four …
Safety and Tolerability of Difelikefalin in Adolescents on Haemodialysis With Moderate-to-Severe Pruritus
Rationale People with long term kidney disease who are on haemodialysis (a procedure for removing waste products from the blood) commonly develop a condition that makes their skin very itchy. Difelikefalin is a medicine that can treat the itching related to long term kidney disease. Clinical studies have shown difelikefalin …
