This research will have as aim to look at progression or decrease of vascular calcification in dialysis population with use of different phosphate binders. There is a possibility that differect phosphate binders bind vitamin K in a different way in…
The first objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of standard HD with different dialysate calcium concentrations as well as HD combined with citrate-acid dialysate on the clearance of CPPs and second the effect of these different solutions…
Primary objective: To compare the anti-hypertensive response to dietary salt restriction with the anti-hypertensive response to the diuretics hydrochlorothiazide/amiloride in patients with CKD stages 3 or 4. Secondary objectives: * To analyze the…
A better understanding on the individual response to different albuminuria lowering drugs and a better understanding why these drugs, of which some are developed for another indication, may help to tailor optimal therapy. Therefore in this study…
Primary: To investigate the effects of 300 mg aliskiren on albuminuria in patients with non-diabeticnephropathy treated with ramipril 10 mg and volume intervention.Secundary: Effects of ramipril and ramipril plus aliskiren. Effects on RAAS…
Primary:- to investigate the safety and tolerability of the study drug after multiple oral dosing in healthy volunteersSecondary:- to investigate the effect of the study drug on potassium clearance upon oral potassium challenge after multiple oral…
Measuring the effects of light therapy during hemodialysis on objective en subjective sleep parameters, sleepiness during dialysis, mood and melatonin rhythm. De results of this pilot study can be used to design a larger study on light therapy in…
The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate the superior efficacy of pudendal neuromodulation in treating patients with neurogenic overactive bladder, who have failed conservative treatment, in a randomized cross-over trial.Symptoms of urinary…
Based on the hypothesis that hemodialysis with Hemocontol is associated with a greater and earlier increase in plasma vasopressin levels than standard dialysis, we examine whether there is a difference in the course of plasma vasopressin levels…
Determinination of the added effects of dietary sodium restriction or diuretic use to antihypertensive and antialbuminuric therapy.
Based on the positive effects of Celecoxib on ultrafiltration and peritoneal injury during PD in rats, we would like to propose a pilot study using Celecoxib in PD-patients. In this pilot study we will investigate whether the Cox2 inhibitor…
Objectives1. To investigate whether the improved hemodynamic stability with Hemocontrol dialysis is based on higher plasma levels of vasopressin or on enhanced activity of the sympathetic nervous system and/or inhibition of nitric oxide production.…
The primary aim of this study is to compare the removal of (especially protein-bound) uremic toxins between 4-hour and 8-hour HD and HDF in order to evaluate the influence of dialysis duration and of convection on the removal of uremic toxins.A…
The central hypothesis of this project is that atorvastatin (added on standard antihypertensive treatment ARB) causes a substantial decrease in MSNA in hypertensive patients with CKD.
Primary objective:- to investigate the safety and tolerability after a single oral dose in healthy men and women of non-childbearing potential. Secondary objective:- to investigate the pharmacokinetic of a single oral dose in healthy men and women…

The primary hypothesis of the study is that the use of icodextrin leads to a reduction in extracellular volume compared to glucose 2.27%, but that the effects of icodextrin and glucose 2.27% on plasma will not differ.
The central hypothesis of this project is that Aliskiren causes a substantial decrease in MSNA in hypertensive patients with CKD.
The study objectives are1. to compare blood purification efficacy for postdilution HDF treatment in ULTRACONTROL mode to that of i) postdilution HDF using volume control mode, and ii) high-flux HD treatment, using in all treatments the same dialyzer…
The sequential application of chemotherapy and radionuclide treatment in patients with symptomatic osseous metastasized prostate cancer. Patients with more than one painful osseous metastasis will be randomized between 153Sm-EDTMP or docetaxel 3…
