Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Septic Patients
Acute kidney injury is a well-recognized complication in critically ill patients. Up to date there is no clinically established method to reduce the incidence or the severity of acute kidney injury. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) will be induced by three cycles of upper limb ischemia. The aim of the study …
Endothelin Receptor Antagonism with Ambrisentan to Treat Hepatorenal Syndrome
Patients with advanced cirrhosis of the liver develop kidney problems occasionally. This condition is called Hepatorenal Syndrome, requires hospitalization and frequently results in death. The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the administration of low doses of ambrisentan can help patients with Hepatorenal Syndrome and to determine …
Pyrophosphate and Arterial Calcification in Chronic Kidney Disease
Arterial calcifications start at early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are associated to cardiovascular mortality. Pyrophosphate (PPi) is an endogenous compound, which stops the mineralization process in bones and is expected to act at ectopic sites. In uremic rats, low PPi plasma levels are associated with high calcium …
FGF19 and Chronic Kidney Disease
Sarcopenia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 50% of dialysis patients and 20% of patients with non-dialyzed CKD and reduce quality of life and survival. The pathophysiology of uremic sarcopenia is multifactorial (accumulation of toxins, metabolic disturbances, etc.) and poorly characterized. These pejorative factors are associated with malnutrition and a …
Safety of Cultured Allogeneic Adult Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Intravenous Infusion for CKD
This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease.
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 …
Effects of Dapagliflozin on EChOcardiographic Measures of CarDiac StructurE and Function in Patients With CKD
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dapagliflozin on echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Role of Vitamin K2 in Chronic Kidney Disease
This randomized placebo controlled double blind parallel clinical study will be conducted on 44 non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (Stages 2-3b).Clinical Study Evaluating the Role of Vitamin K2 as Adjuvant Therapy to Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor on Blood Pressure, Proteinuria and Bone Metabolism in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. …
Telemonitoring of Hypertensive Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
Background Hypertension, together with poorly controlled blood pressure (BP) are known risk factors for kidney disease and progression to kidney failure as well as increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Several studies in patients without kidney disease have demonstrated the efficacy of home BP telemonitoring (HBPT) for BP control. Objective …
