The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate a novel diabetes ketoacidosis risk mitigation strategy to support the safe use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) therapy in participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main objectives of this study are to: 1. Evaluate how ketone metrics differ between participants with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease and those with normal renal function in three time periods. 2. Identify potentially modifiable ketosis risk factors. 3. Use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) data prior to and following treatment to determine ketosis risk factors and gain knowledge to further refine reporting of risk factors. 4. Gather information on how participants and clinicians like and use the CGM/CKM reports. Participants will be asked to: * Meet with study investigators to determine if they are eligible * Sign written informed consent * Take a pregnancy test, if applicable * Have blood taken to assess kidney function and hemoglobin A1c * Take the study medication, following the study team instructions * Wear the study provided sensor throughout participation. * Complete 5 in person visits, and 11 phone check ins over a nine-month period * Provide feedback on the usefulness of CGM/CKM reports

50 patients with anemia scheduled for heart surgery or procedures will be randomized to receive either oral sucrosomial iron or standard-of-care intravenous iron before surgery to see if the oral iron is as effective as intravenous iron in increasing the red blood cell count.

The purpose of this first-in-human (FIH) study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) of OJR520.

This study will evaluate the Velocity Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistula (pAVF) System, a new minimally invasive method for creating dialysis access. People with kidney failure often require dialysis, which depends on having a reliable arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Traditionally, AVFs are created with surgery, but surgery can involve incisions, longer recovery, and sometimes additional procedures before the AVF can be used. The Velocity System is designed to create an AVF through a small puncture in the skin using a catheter-based approach, without open surgery. This pivotal study will assess how safe the procedure is and how well it works for patients who need dialysis. The study will take place at multiple centers in the United States and will enroll adults with kidney failure who are candidates for fistula creation. Participants will undergo the Velocity procedure and then be followed closely with exams, ultrasounds, and dialysis assessments for up to five years. Taking part is voluntary. Patients may benefit from a less invasive approach to dialysis access, but the main goal is to collect information that could improve future care for people with kidney failure.

This study is open to children aged 2 to 17 with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this study is to find out if a medicine called empagliflozin helps children and adolescents with CKD. Other goals of the study are to find out how empagliflozin is tolerated and handled by the body in children and adolescents with CKD. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes empagliflozin and the other group takes placebo. Placebo looks like empagliflozin but does not contain any medicine. Participants are twice as likely to be in the empagliflozin group. Participants take empagliflozin or placebo as tablets once a day for 6 months. After 6 months, participants in both groups take empagliflozin as tablets once a day for 1 year. Participants are in the study for a little over a year and a half. During this time, they visit the study site about 15 times and get at least 5 phone or video calls from the site staff. At the visits, the doctors take blood and urine samples from the participants. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

The purpose of this study is to find out if regular handgrip exercise performed at home can improve blood pressure at rest and during exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study is also intended to understand what causes an increase in blood pressure at rest and during exercise (i.e., increased adrenaline levels, or decreased ability of blood vessels to dilate). Patients with CKD will be recruited from primary care, Nephrology and other subspecialty Clinics throughout the Emory Healthcare System. Participants will attend 4 visits of 2-3 hours and 3 visits of 1-2 hours. The home exercise training will last for 8 weeks.

This is a single-center, randomized pilot study evaluating the feasibility and safety of two management strategies for patients on antithrombotic therapy who present with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Participants will be randomized to either repeated endoscopic evaluations or a conservative medical approach with limited testing. The study aims to assess whether conservative management yields similar clinical outcomes and quality of life compared to standard repeated endoscopic procedures. Results will inform the design of a larger trial and address the current lack of guidelines for managing recurrent iron-deficiency anemia in this patient population.

This study will evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single ascending doses (SAD) and multiple ascending doses (MAD) of AZD4248 administered as an oral solution and intravenous (IV) infusion. Additionally, the study investigates the non-interventional feasibility of home measurement of serum creatinine in participants with diabetic kidney disease (DKD).

This study aims to determine if GLP1RA is safe and tolerable in maintenance dialysis population, adherence, and feasibility of a larger definitive cardiovascular outcome trial in this population. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either weekly subcutaneous semaglutide versus usual care and followed for 26 weeks.

30 patients will participate in a prospective randomized clinical trial to test the safety, tolerability and efficacy of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5 setting.

This study is open to adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is at risk of getting worse. People who have taken a specific type of medication for kidney disease called SGLT2 inhibitor within 1 month before the study or have certain health conditions cannot take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called vicadrostat, used in combination with another medicine called empagliflozin, works in people with chronic kidney disease. In this study, participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Participants have an equal chance of being assigned to either group. In one group, participants take the 2 study medicines, vicadrostat and empagliflozin, every day for 3 months. In the other group, participants take placebo and empagliflozin for the first 1.5 months, and then they take vicadrostat and empagliflozin together for the next 1.5 months. The study medicines are taken orally as tablets. Placebo tablets look like vicadrostat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 4.5 months. During this time, they visit the study site multiple times. Doctors regularly test kidney function by measuring specific proteins in the blood and urine. The results are compared between the two groups to see whether there are differences between starting the study medicines at the same time or one after the other. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
