Knowledge on the magnitude of the decline and the pathophysiological mechanism can eventually help us topostulate an algorithm for well-balanced decision making in treatment strategies in the elderly CKD patients.This knowledge will be firmly…
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 determine if there is an alternative mechanism for urine acidification in men in response to NH4Cl other than that through ENaC
The aim of our study will be to evaluate patients* perspective on sexual and fertility healthcare currently provided by renal care providers. Furthermore we will identify patients* wishes and views upon this important part of renal healthcare and…
The purpose of GRN-study is: 1. to determine the long-term effectiveness of a 12 weeks lasting physical exercise training program. 2. to determine the costeffectiveness of the 12 weeks lasting physical exercise training program. In aim of the GRN-…
Primary Objective: • To compare urinary concentrating capacity in ADPKD patients with healthy subjects and patient with IgA- or membranous glumerulopathy.Secondary Objectives:• To compare urinary concentrating capacity in ADPKD patients with an eGFR…
Primary objectives of INTACT III are:1) to prospectively compare the efficacy of Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) with BOTOX® 100 U related to the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC) questionnaire (Coyne 2006) and the reduction of urinary…
To study the extent of impaired urinary concentrating ability in hypothyroidism as well as the pathophysiological mechanisms involved before and after adequate treatment.
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…
We aim to increase patient compliance by extending the existing treatment protocol of (oral or intravesical) anticholinergics plus application of CIC with the addition of bladder pressure measurement performed at home during CIC plus access to an…
The overall aim of our study is to evaluate the management of suspected uncomplicated UTI in women presenting in primary care through use of a novel point of care test (POCT, Flexicult). This study is being carried out in 4 European networks: Wales…
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…
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 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 the study is the confirmation or enervation of our hypothesis, i.e. that a situation is present in PD patients with normal peritoneal transport characteristics, whereby diffusion through the peritoneal membrane is retarded by PBR…
To assess the change in voiding pattern and quality of life in children who receive BoNT-A treatment in a prospective setting.
to study the effect of everolimus (vs. mycophenolate) on dyslipidemia, ectopic fat accumulation, and cardiovascular function against a common calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) background.
