Immune monitoring to characterize T-cell responses of kidney transplant patients during co-stimulation blockade by belatacept

Here, we postulate that the balance between the effect of belatacept on regulatory T-cell function and the relative insensitivity of memory T-cells for belatacept leads to donor-specific alloreactivity. We plan to study the peripheral CD28-dependent…

A Maastricht Contrast-Induiced-Nehropathy Guideline study (AMACING): prevention guidelines - appropriate and cost effective?

The AMACING study aims to evaluate the (cost) effectiveness of guideline prescribed intravenous prophylactic hydration in the prevention of: CIN, decrease in renal function, renal damage, 30-day morbidity and 30-day mortality; taking into account…

the Effects of Atrasentan on Renal Outcomes in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes and Nephropathy

The study objective is to evaluate the effect of atrasentan compared with placebo on time to doubling of serum creatinine or the onset of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in subjects with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy who are treated with the…

A multicentre randomised controlled trial to compare the efficacy of ex-vivo oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion with non-oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion of kidneys from donors older than 50 years of age and donated after circulatory death.

To compare the effect of oxygenated versus non-oxygenated hypothermic machine perfusion of grafts of DCD category III (awaiting circulatory death - controlled), kidneys aged 50 years or older on kidney graft function.

SEQUENTIAL THERAPY WITH TACROLIMUS AND RITUXIMAB IN PRIMARY MEMBRANOUS NEPHROPATHY

PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether sequential therapy with tacrolimus for 9 months (6 months of full therapy and 3 months of tapering doses) followed by a dose of RTX leads to a greater increase in the proportion of primary MN patients with…

A multi-center randomized, open label, controlled study in primary liver transplantation comparing long term renal function in recipients treated with standard dose extended release tacrolimus alone and recipients treated with a combination of low dose extended-release tacrolimus and low dose sirolimus.

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of concentration controlled combination of once daily dosed low-dose sirolimus (trough levels: 3-5 ng/ml) and extended-release tacrolimus (trough levels:3-5 ng/ml), in order to provide superior renal function…

Insights in proximal and distal tubular iron reabsorption by studies on urinary iron excretion in human health and disease

We aim to gain insights in proximal and distal tubular reabsorption of iron, transferrin, NTBI and labile plasma iron (LPI). To this purpose, we will study urinary iron, transferrin, NTBI and LPI concentrations relative to urinary creatinine…

Cardiologic prophylaxis for Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CARCIN-trial)

Assess if CIN prophylaxis for CTA and a TAVI procedure with a 1 -hour sodium bicarbonate protocol is non-inferior in terms of decline in eGFR and serum creatinine level to the 24 hour saline protocol. in pre-operative screening for TAVI and actual…

ADOLESCE-NT: More rapid deterioration of renal function after renal transplantation in adolescence: effect of the endocrine system on immunological and pharmacokinetic factors

Answering the question if there are any associations between hormonal status in adolescence on the one hand, and immunological reactivity and pharmacodynamics on the other hand; and if such associations can explain the more rapid deterioration of…

A prospective Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Primary Prevention of sudden cardiac death using implantable cardioverter defibrillators in dialysis patients.

The main objective of this study is to assess whether ICD therapy in dialysis patients reduces sudden (arrhythmogenic) cardiac death. The first secondary end point is to compare total mortality death between the two groups. An other is to evaluate…
