To evaluate the efficacy of 250ml 1.4% sodium bicarbonate versus hypotone saline hydration prior to TAVI in patients with CKD to prevent CIN.
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…
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…
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…
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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
To evalute the efficacy of rituximab in comparison to continued corticosteroid treatment in ipatients with diopathic nephrotic syndrome unresponsive to 8 weeks of high dose prednisolone.
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether kidney transplant recipient suffering from a tacrolimus-induced tremor can benefit from switching from conventional tacrolimus to LCPT, a new extended release preparation of tacrolimus (…
Primary objective: to compare the effect two immunosupressive therapy regimens on GFR estimated by iohexol clearance at week 52 post kidney transplantationSecundary objective: to compare the safety and efficacy profiles of the two immunosupressive…
To assess the impact of 7 daily subcutaneous gifts of GH on circulating Klotho levels in human sugjects with CKD stage III and healthy age-matched controls.
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…
First, to demonstrate whether Lanreotide attenuates progression of the renal phenotype in ADPKD patients as measured by change in rate of renal function decline and change in renal volume. Second, to demonstrate whether Lanreotide modifies…
The main of objectives are to study the effect of the start of dialysis treatment (hemodialysis and peritoneal transplantation), on selected cardiovascular, nutritional parameters as well as physical activity. Secondly, a differentiation will be…
To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying renal disease that lead to chronic kidney disease. To validate pathogenic variations in functional in vivo models.
