Diabetic nephropathy is a serious kidney-related complication of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. It is also called diabetic kidney disease. Up to 40 percent of people with diabetes eventually develop kidney disease. Over time, elevated blood sugar associated with uncontrolled diabetes causes
Cardiovascular disease is the most cause of mortality of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. As CKD progresses, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease also increased. Beside traditional cardiovascular risk factor that the investigators have known, some non-traditional cardiovascular risk
BACKGROUND Hypoparathyroidism is an endocrinopathy characterized by a deficient secretion or action of PTH associated with low calcium level. It can be primary (inadequate PTH activity), or secondary (peripheral resistance to PTH).
The most common cause of chronic Hypoparathyroidism is the
Vitamin D Supplementation is a practical and inexpensive intervention which is safe, readily available and clinically indicated. Substantial recent evidence suggests vitamin D may modify inflammatory pathways in CKD. There is a high probability of benefit and a low probability of harm for this
Calciphylaxis or calcific uremic arteriolopathy is an infrequently occurring although debilitating vasculopathy seen primarily in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) which almost always affects the skin. It has a prevalence rate ~4 % in long term hemodialysis patients, with 1-year survival
The scientific purpose of this study is to obtain data on the use of sVDRA(Selective Vitamin D Receptor Activator) in real-life clinical practice. This study will allow us to observe drug effectiveness in a distinct geography. Treatment effects, as well as maintenance of the results will be recorded
RATIONALE:
Based on the hypothesis that the efficacy and potency of Fosrenol enables increasing dietary protein intake and provision of meals during dialysis treatment for improving nutritional status in malnourished dialysis patients with a low serum albumin (<4.0 g/dL) while serum phosphorus can
This is a multicenter randomized open study with 2 treatment arms (nicotinamide / Sevelamer).
Laboratories who will dose biochemical parameters and PTH, ignore which treatment is received by patients.
The team which will measure bone density and the radiologist or rheumatologist who will appreciate
The amount of phosphorus in the American diet has increased considerably, primarily from phosphorus-containing additives in convenience and ready to eat foods (Calvo 1996). It is estimated that, depending on individual food choices, additives add as much 1000 mg/day of phosphorus to the diet (Bell).
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a state of increased arterial stiffness of extensive vessel calcifications, compared with the non-renal population. Both arterial stiffness and arterial calcifications are potent predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in ESRD patients. Underlying
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to determine if long-term use of alendronate can suppress coronary artery and aortic calcification in chronic PD patients. The effect of alendronate on bone mineral density in this patient group is also evaluated.
