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…
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.

To get more insight into the T cell homeostasis in lymfocytopenic, ATG treated patients and normocytopenic patients treated with standard maintenance immunosuppressive drug therapy.
To assess clinical parameters and biomarkers in blood and urine in predicting bacteremia, need for hospital admission, clinical and bacteriologic cure and mortality in patients with fUTI.To determine whether a 7-day duration of antibiotic treatment…
We try to find a new standard within the field of ''MicroRNA'' proteins, that swim around in peoples blood and/or urine. MicroRNA's are very small proteins, that switches of genes in the cells, they are able to switch genes…
The primary objective to our study is assessing functional outcome, quality of life, and genetic mutations in patients with a cloacal malformation. Functional outcome:- Colorectal functiono Objective: assessing colorectal function through the use of…
THE KIMONO-STUDY is designed to study the consequences of having an SFK from childhood. Furthermore, a tailor made risk profil will be designed for children with an SFK, based on individual risk factor (for example co-morbidity, genetic aberrations…
PROVALID will have 3 major objectives:Primary: Determine the cumulative incidence of renal outcomes in patients with type II diabetes in different European countries. Renal outcomes are defined as:* Progression from normoalbuminuria to…
The main objective of this pilot study is to determine the effects of vascular access construction on autonomic and cardiac function.
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 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…
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 mean increase in serum creatinine and the incidence of CIN following CT-PA without prehydration compaired to a short prehydration regime with sodium bicarbonate during one hour.- Furthermore, the risk of developing CIN after CT-PA…
• 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 primary objective of this study is to compare vascular biology (vascular markers and endothelial microparticles) and cardiovascular effects (volume status, blood pressure, pulse wave velocity and microcirculation) in conventional hemodialysis (…
Primary Objective: -To compare metabolic activity and efficiency directly after transplantation in living and deceased donor kidney grafts. Secondary Objective(s): -To assess whether the contribution of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism differs…
The characterization of T cells that reside in kidney transplants.The characterization of the T cell-mediated antiviral responses in kidneysThe role of kidney-resident T cells in acute and chronic allograft rejection
1. To establish the prevalence and prognostic impact of HD-associated LV dysfunction; 2. To identify (clues to) mechanisms/ pathways that are pathophysiologically involved in HD-associated LV function.
