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 …
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 …
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 …
Bleeding Reduction in Acute and Chronic Kidney Patients Having Surgery (BRACKETS) Pilot Trial
The BRACKETS pilot study is a multicentre, prospective, randomized controlled trial of prophylactic preoperative tranexamic acid (TXA) versus placebo and, using a partial factorial design, of prophylactic preoperative desmopressin versus placebo.
Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for Renal and Cardiac Protection in Congestive Heart Failure (RICH) Trial
This is a prospective, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicenter, randomized clinical trial is to study the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on contrast-associated acute kidney injury, functional capacity, and major adverse kidney events in in patients with congestive heart failure undergoing cardiac catheterization and/or percutaneous coronary intervention.
Reducing Dietary Acid With Food Versus Oral Alkali in People With Chronic Kidney Disease (ReDACKD)
Metabolic acidosis is a common problem that occurs with worsening chronic kidney disease. Dietary acid can build up when the kidneys are not working well. This can be associated with a higher risk of worsening kidney function and death. The usual treatment is a medication called sodium bicarbonate which works …
Feasibility Trial of Sodium-GLucose CoTransporter 2 INhibitors in Pediatric Chronic KIDney DiSease
The goal of this study is to learn if a clinical trial of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) is possible in youth with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The investigators also plan to explore whether treatment with SGLT2i (Empagliflozin) helps improve risk factors for worsening kidney and heart disease. The main …
Empagliflozin in Acute Heart Failure
The objective is to study in a prospective, interventional, single arm, cohort study the potential synergistic diuretic effect of empagliflozin, in addition to furosemide, in hypervolemic patients admitted with acutely decompensated heart failure and diuretic resistance at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). The investigators hypothesize that the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 …
Evaluating the Feasibility of a Piezoelectric Smart Sensor as an Aid to Help Clinicians Screen for the Development of Pneumonia in an At-risk Population
This proposed research aims to evaluate the feasibility of the piezoelectric sensor as an aid to help clinicians screen for the development of pneumonia in an at-risk population.
