Primary Objective: - to determine cognitive impairment in patients with severe renal failureSecondary Objective(s): - to determine to what extent this impairment improves after a kidney transplantation - to evaluate changes in uremic toxins after…
To assess safety and tolerability of EA-230 in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.To assess the anti-inflammatory effects of EA-230 in patients with systemic inflammation following cardiac surgery. To assess the effects…
The aim of this study is to identify the degree and direction of fluctuation from one to another renal function group within 2 months after discharge from hospital. In addition, prevalence of adaptations of the prescribed drugs that should result…
We aim to gain insights in proximal and distal tubular reabsorption of iron, transferrin, NTBI and labile plasma iron (LPI). To this purpose, we will study urinary iron, transferrin, NTBI and LPI concentrations relative to urinary creatinine…
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 evalute the efficacy of rituximab in comparison to continued corticosteroid treatment in ipatients with diopathic nephrotic syndrome unresponsive to 8 weeks of high dose prednisolone.
to determine if there is an alternative mechanism for urine acidification in men in response to NH4Cl other than that through ENaC
1) To prove that it is possible to safely reduce the number of invasive cystoscopies during follow-up (FUP) of patients with NMIBC with a low/intermediate risk of recurrence or progression. 2) To prove that addition of urine tests to the follow-up…
To evaluate the efficacy of Cinryze administered with plasmapheresis, plasma exchange, or immune adsorption treatments and sucrose-free intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) for the treatment of acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) of renal allograft…
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…
- Primary study objective: To demonstrate the superiority of the ablative microboost dose schedule regarding 5-year biochemical no evidence of disease rate compared to the current standard of care.- Secondary study objectives: Establish and compare…
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…
1. to study the effect of spironolacton and triamterene on blood pressure in anuric hemodialysis patients.2. to study the effect of treatment on body weight, serum elektrolytes, 24-hours sodium excretion, plasma aldosterone and renin concentrations…
The main objective of this research is to contribute to the elimination of disparities in care between Dutch and non-Dutch kidney patients where living donation is concerned. The primary objective is evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention…
Main objective: Does the use of the extravesical ureterovesicostomy reduce the incidence of PCN placement, and urological complications?Secondary objective: Does the use of the extravesical ureterovesicostomy reduces the rate of re-operations and re…
The primary aim of this research project is to investigate the prevalence and bother of OAB before and after POP repair surgery and to determine changes in bladder function after surgery. Secondary aim is to identify predictors of persistence,…
To investigate the incidence of CIN in three hospitals where patients are treatedaccording to the current guidelines, to identify the prediction risk factors and toobtain blood and urine samples that will allow future identification and evaluation…
The aim of the present study is to compare the following transport characteristics for a modified 3.86% glucose PET preceded by a long (>8 hours) dwell with 3.86% glucose (PET A) and one preceded by a long dwell with 7.5% icodextrin (PET B),…
Subjects randomized to the placebo treatment are unlikely to benefit from the study. However, OAB is not a life-threatening disease and it is not expected that a 12 to 15 week exposure to placebo treatment will have a negative impact on disease…
Objective:Primary aim of the study is estimating the diagnostic accuracy of translabial 3D ultrasonography of thepelvic floor as compared to MR imaging, the reference standard, for diagnosing levator defects inwomen with POP. Our secondary aim is…
