The aim of this study is to investigate if conversion of tacrolimus-based immunosuppression to everolimus-based immunosuppression results in preservation of renal function as compared to continued tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. Apart from renal…
Primary Objective: Does the use of the laparoscopic insertion technique lower the incidence of malfunctioning CAPD-catheters at 6 weeks postoperatively? Secondary Objectives: Does the use of the laparoscopic insertion technique improve catheter…
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…
The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in peritoneal endothelial glycocalyx in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with the duration of peritoneal dialysis, and relate these changes to alterations in peritoneal transport and morphology.…
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of eculizumab to prevent AMR in sensitized recipients of living donor kidney transplants requiring desensitization therapy.
To demonstrate that remote ischemic preconditioning reduces contrast-induced nephropathy in patients ar high-rish of CIN (according CBO guidelines) next to the use of pre- and posthydration.
The primary objective of this study is to compare Arm 1 with Arm 2 with regard to incidence of new onset diabetes Mellitus as per the American Diabetic Association criteria at any point up to 24 weeks after kidney transplantation.The secondary…
To investigate if home-hydration is a non inferior alternative for in-hospital hydration in the prevention of Contrast Induced Nephropathy in high risk patients.
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…
The objective of this study is to assess the diagmostic accuracy of microMRI to detect ROD in children with ESRD and metabolic bone disease by oxalosis in patients suffering from oxalosis.
To compare in a prospective randomised way the effect of two different immunosuppressive regimens - mTOR-based regimen or CNI-based regimen - on the progression of coronary artery calcification in renal transplant patients measured at baseline, 1, 2…
The end-points of this study are:1. To evaluate the prevalence of dRTA in Sjögren using a new screening test with furosemide and fludrocortisone and compare this against the gold standard test with ammonium chloride2. To determine the prevalence of…
Evaluation of the rise in serum creatinine and the incidence of CIN following angiography in patients treated with a short hydration regime during 1 hour with sodium bicarbonate compared to a hydration regime with saline during 6-24 hours.
Clarifying the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the T cell response targeting and controlling polyomavirus BKV.
This study aims at understanding the circadian disruption in chronic hemodialysis patients and provide a molecular basis for the etiology of sleep-wake cycle disturbances. The hypothesis that the circadian clock is disturbed in chronic hemodialysis…
• Evaluation of the incidence of CIN after CT-angiography with a hydration regime during 1 hour with sodium bicarbonate compaired to a hydration regime with saline during 24 hours.• Furthermore the risk for developing CIN after CT-angiography is…
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.
(1) to establish the effect of adding amiloride to lithium- treatment on the progression of renal insufficiency in patients with lithium- nephropathy (2) to answer the question whether adding amiloride to the use of lithium has the same effect as…
.
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…
