Our primary objective is to investigate if the previously found MSNA is related to the presence and severity of CV organ damage quantified as left ventricular mass, independent of other CV risk factors. We hypothesize that despite of treatment…
To improve the quality of care for children with End Stage Renal Disease by central registration and frequent intervision.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether ACE inhibition results in an improvement of microvascular glycocalyx-thickness in patients with type 1 diabetes. The secondary objectives are to investigate whether this (hypothesized)…
To compare the accuracy of the measured GFR using bolus 51Cr-EDTA, and Gd DTPA, and estimated GFR using cystatin C and creatinine with the continuous 125I-labelled iothalamate infusion method.
The purpose of the study is threefold. First, to describe the course of quality of life after renal transplantation and to identify predictors of (un)succesful adjustment. Second, to investigate intra- and interindividual differences that influence…
1. Demonstration of the relation between stage of CKD, CMV seropositivity and the presence of CD4+CD28- T cells2. Presence and cytotoxic potential of CD4+CD28- T cells in the peripheral blood of patients with endstage CKD and the relation with…
The main goal of the study is evaluation of the effects from renal artery stenosis on intrarenal flow-distribution and tubular function. Assumed and measured effects are alterations of medullary flow, inflammatory markers and overall tubular…
1. to determine the feasibility and acceptability of an e-supported lifestyle coaching program and2. to assess the effects of personalized lifestyle support in patients with insulin dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus immediately after 12 weeks and…
to develop standardized tubular function tests with reference intervals/values.
To study the efficacy, adverse events, logistic feasibility and costs of immunoadsorption for the removal of anti-GBM antibodies in patients with acute renal failure due to anti-GBM glomerulonephritis.
To establish the role of renal sympathetic modulation on renal blood flow, metabolism and oxygenation we propose three closely related series of experiments.Group 1: Sympathoactivation in healthy humans 12 healthy volunteers will undergo a graded…
The main goal of the current study is to confirm the origin of this sympathetic signal and compare it to the response in healthy humans. Secondly the goal is to assess the extent to which the suggested renal pressor response in CKD can be reversed.
To assess intra- and interpatient variability of plasma Mg concentration before and after hemodialysis.
Collect data in an observational study on outcomes of endovascular fistula creation using the everlinQ endoAVF System
to determine the normal FGF23 response in case of hypophosphatemia
to determine if there is an alternative mechanism for urine acidification in men in response to furosemide other than that through ENaC
Primary Objectives: 1. To assess the prevalence of AAV related damage in AAV, i.e. cardiovascular damage and impaired QOL.Secondary objectives2. To assess whether there exists an association between cardiovascular disease, QOL and disease activity…
to determine the prevalence and significance of chronic nephrotoxic effects of cisplatin therapy by 1) identifying patients with chronic cisplatin nephrotoxicity and 2) reviewing their QoL. Eventually, this could improve care in these patients
In this single center cohort study the primary objective is to assess minimal residual autoimmunity (MRA) in RTX treated AAV patients. The primary objective is to routinely assess the composition of the memory B-cell and plasma cell compartment…
1. To evaluate if podocytes directly cultured from the urine, and podocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), can be used to prove causality of the VUS.2. Comparison of results obtained using iPSC-derived and urinary podocytes,…
