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…
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…
The goal of the study is to investigate the difference between heart rate variability in patients with overactive bladder and patients with stress incontinence without overactive bladder, and also the difference in heart rate variability with empty…
First, to determine the extent to which microcirculatory perfusion defects occur during clinical kidney transplantation. Second, to study the relationship between these events and kidney function, inflammation and renal cellular injury. Third, to…
Our goal is to investigate the differences in the GAG-layer of patients with normal bladders and interstitial cystitis. We also want to evaluate the role of mast cells and heparanase in the pathogenesis of interstitial cystitis.
In this study the prevalence and kind of sexual and psychosexual problems will be assessed. Psychological well being is studied as well
To get more insight into the T cell homeostasis in lymfocytopenic, ATG treated patients and normocytopenic patients treated with standard maintenance immunosuppressive drug therapy.
The primary objective of this experiment is to describe via an observational study the relation between conditions of sitting/standing up versus laying down in terms of bladder sensation in both volunteers and patients with OAB. We also want to…
The aims of the present study are 1) to confirm the high prevalence of dRTA in Sjögren using the urinary acidification test with ammonium chloride, 2) to determine the prevalence of disorders in calcium metabolism in pSS patients with dRTA, 3) to…
To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying renal disease that lead to chronic kidney disease. To validate pathogenic variations in functional in vivo models.
The objective of this study is to investigate the role of inflammatory mediators (circulating platelet activity levels, MP numbers, and levels of plasma/urinary mtDNA) to the occurrence and severity of acute rejection and renal outcome.
To measure changes in urinary RAS components during an acid-loading test in patients with CKD and healthy controls.
To investigate the genetic, genomic and proteomic basis of hypertension and susceptibility to hypertension-related target-organ damage (renal insufficiency and heart failure).
The objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence of dRTA, osteoporosis and nephrolithiasis in patients with SS. We also try to elucidate the mechanism which is responsible for developing dRTA in patients with SS. The role of auto…
to study the effect of everolimus (vs. mycophenolate) on dyslipidemia, ectopic fat accumulation, and cardiovascular function against a common calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) background.
The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the use of the thrombin generation test in patients with CKD, including haemodialysis-dependent patients.
To detect the differences in the length of the urethra in healthy volunteers and in men after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.To detect the degree of erectiel dysfunction before and after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.To detect the cause of…
With this pilot study we want to see if there are measurable differences in body composition after one year. In what way does the body composition of patients change during the first year after transition from CHD to NHHD or NCHD? Is the weight gain…
The objective of this study is to proof the presence of lesions in the brain of patients with overactive bladder and urge-incontinence (OAB wet) as a central cause of this disorder. This survey is a pilot investigation for a larger study on the…
First, to determine the extent to which oxidative stress and microcirculatory perfusion defects occur during clinical kidney transplantation. Second, to study the relationship between these events and kidney function, inflammation and renal cellular…
