  • Peritoneal dialysis solutions comprising glucose polymers
    Patent number: 8975240
    Abstract: Peritoneal dialysis solutions including a glucose polymer and methods of using the dialysis solutions are disclosed herein. In a general embodiment, the peritoneal dialysis solution includes a glucose polymer in an amount to provide an increased ultrafiltration fluid volume for a given amount of carbohydrate absorbed compared to conventional dialysis solutions containing icodextrin as the active pharmaceutical ingredient. The increased ultrafiltration fluid volume for a given amount of carbohydrate absorbed is obtained by providing specific combinations of weight-average molecular weight, polydispersity index and concentration of the glucose polymer in the dialysis solution.

  • METHODS FOR TREATING A KIDNEY INJURY
    Publication number: 20130302290
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a kidney injury in a patient, comprising administering to the patient hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in an amount effective to treat the kidney injury. In some embodiments, administration of the HSCs is delayed, such that the HSCs are not administered immediately after the kidney injury. In certain aspects, the HSCs are administered to the patient during the beginning of the repair phase of the kidney. Further embodiments and aspects of the invention, including related methods and compositions for use therein, are described herein.
