Feasibility, descriptive single arm open-label interventional trial lasting 6 weeks. The study will recruit 36 CKD patients at the outpatient clinic with: age between 18 to 85 years; glomerular filtration rate < 29 ml/min/1.73 m2 and not on dialysis; serum K > 5.1 mmol/L or in previous use of sodium
According to the plan moderator, after the patient agrees and signs the test consent form, the patients will be randomly divided into two groups. The screening execution time of this patient is expected to be 2 weeks. After randomization into two groups, the first group was given low potassium
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common form of hypertension caused by aldosterone secretion inappropriate for blood pressure (BP) and volume status. It involves over 11% of the patients referred to specialized hypertension centres, about one fifth of those with drug-resistant hypertension and even a
This is a factorial (2x2) randomized double-blinded clinical trial comparing the association of a thiazide diuretic (chlorthalidone 25 mg/day or hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg/day) with a potassium-sparing diuretic (amiloride 10 mg/day or amiloride 20 mg/day) as first drug option in patients aged 30 to
Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a condition characterized by intermittent partial collapse and closure of the upper airway (UA). This leads to sleep fragmentation, oxygen desaturation, hypercarbia, and activation of the sympathetic nervous system. OSAHS is also associated with
Introduction
Methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) is one of the modalities to prevent HIV transmission among injected drug users, particularly in opioid-dependent users. However, methadone-associated cardiotoxicity is one of the fatal adverse events that limit the widespread usage in certain groups
The study will enroll up to 165 patients, randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment groups (55 patients in each group): KBP-5074 0.25 mg once daily (QD), KBP-5074 0.5 mg QD, or placebo QD. Randomization will be stratified to balance enrollment for key variables that may influence safety and/or
In the past decade, the single most common cause of withdrawal of the use of drugs that have already been marketed has been the prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram associated with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or torsade de pointes. Without treatment, torsade de pointes
DKA can affect cardiovascular function through several mechanisms. The effect of acidosis on the heart depends upon the pH level. In mild acidosis, there is increased catecholamine release which is compensated by increased inotropy, chronotropy, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance.
The term renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is applied to a group of transport defects in the reabsorption of bicarbonate (HCO3_), the excretion of hydrogen ion (H_), or both. This condition was first described in 1935, confirmed as a renal tubular disorder in 1946, and designated "renal tubular acidosis"
Patients not receiving any therapy for hyperkalemia and with 2 consecutive i-STAT potassium values of ≥ 5.1 mmol/L and ≤ 6.5 mmol/L will be enrolled and randomized 1:1:1 to receive ZS 5 g, ZS 10 g, or placebo TID for 48 hours.
Throughout the study most potassium values will be measured at fasting
Primary care hypertensive patients corresponding to eligibility criteria will be contacted by letter (including informed consent form) and thus invited to take part in the present study. On the one hand, the letter will be sent to a group of hypertensive patients who could be identified from the
The main objective of the trial is to evaluate the risk of hypokalemia (low plasma potassium concentration) following administration of a Plasmalyte Glucos 50 mg/mL solution compared to a 0.45% saline in 5% dextrose solution in acutely ill hospitalised children, who need intravenous fluid therapy.
CTD- induced metabolic side effects were though to be dependent on hypokalemia, but subsequent studies suggested that CTD - induced side effects were independent from hypokalemia. On the other hand, magnesium depletion has been linked to increased Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone (RAA) system, the
Background:
The investigators aim to evaluate the optimal regimen for restoring diuretic efficacy in patients with decompensated heart failure demonstrating loop diuretic resistance, for which guideline-based recommendations are weak secondary to a lack of evidence. By comparing the efficacy, cost,
