Filter by:The purpose of this single-arm interventional study is to evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of the Symplicity Spyral system in subjects treated with renal denervation. Additionally, long-term follow-up data will also be collected from eligible subjects previously treated in the SPYRAL PIVOTAL-SPYRAL HTN-OFF MED and SPYRAL HTN-ON MED studies.
The clinical utility trial is designed to evaluate how the results of KidneyIntelX test / platform impacts on the clinical management of type 2 diabetes patients identified as increased risk for rapid kidney function decline within 5-years.
This is an investigator-led, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, multicenter study that will include a total of approximately 225 subjects from 3 sites. Subjects with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 10 to 30 mL/min/1.73m2 will be included. The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin (Forxiga®, AstraZeneca) in reducing renal function progression and complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with CKD stage 4 and 5 under the integrated CKD care. Subjects will be allocated to integrated CKD care program + dapagliflozin or integrated CKD care program alone. The primary end point is eGFR decline 12-52 weeks after randomization between 2 arms.
Pain is a frequent and difficult to treat symptom in patients with advanced kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics have complex pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in these types of patients, so non-pharmacological therapies could be very useful. In this project the investigators propose to test whether the use of a virtual reality platform, designed by the company Psious and tested in other clinical settings, can reduce the pain that patients experience during connection to the dialysis session. For this the investigators have designed a crossover clinical trial, which will be carried out on 107 hemodialysis patients, in which the intensity of pain (primary objective) and anxiety (secondary objective) that patients experience in the sessions in which participants are treated Using virtual reality, it will be compared with the intensity of pain and anxiety experienced by these same patients, in sessions in which the virtual reality platform is not used. The results of this clinical trial can support the use of virtual reality as an adjunctive pain treatment in patients with advanced kidney disease.

The SLEEP-BP-CKD Study has been designed to specifically test the following primary hypotheses: (i) Specific ABPM-derived parameters, in particular the asleep SBP mean and/or the sleep-time relative SBP decline, are significant prognostic markers of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. (ii) Changes during follow-up in specific ABPM-derived parameters, in particular the increase of the asleep SBP mean and/or decrease of the sleep-time relative SBP decline towards the non-dipper/riser 24h SBP pattern, are significant prognostic markers of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. A novelty of the SLEEP-BP-CKD Study is the incorporation of clinical-grade wearable digital technology to monitor both wake-time and sleep-time BP at home in a subgroup (up to 200) of the total sample; this procedure will provide added useful information to test the following additional hypotheses: (iii) The HBPM self-assessment procedure to obtain BP measurements both during wake-time and sleep-time spans provides reliable data to be used either individually or jointly with periodic ABPM as added potential prognostic marker of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. (iv) The sleep-time BP measurements obtained by HBPM self-assessment and their changes during follow-up are better correlated, compared with wake-time OBPM or wake-time HBPM, to eGFR and albuminuria (measured by the albumin/creatinine ratio) and their changes during follow-up, respectively. (v) The HBPM self-assessment procedure to obtain BP measurements both during wake-time and sleep-time spans increases patient adherence/compliance to prescribed treatment from baseline. The scheduled periodic patient BP assessments during follow-up with OBPM, HBPM, 48h ABPM, along with laboratory urine and blood test data will further allow evaluating and comparing the changes from baseline in all these clinically relevant variables as potential markers for risk of progression towards ESKD, all-cause mortality, and/or CVD morbidity.
Oxidative stress and inflammation are correlated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), in a way that they bring several harms to patients, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Adjuvant therapeutic options such as bioactive compounds present in some foods seem to mitigate inflammation. Turmeric and propolis are foods that have compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity, as they promote the activation of nuclear erythroid transcription factor 2 (Nrf2 - responsible for the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes) and inhibit the activity of nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB - which increases the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines). This work aims to evaluate the effects of supplementation of associated propolis and turmeric microcapsules on inflammatory markers in patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
This study aims to explore the effectiveness of experience learning program of eHealth care to improve the chronic patients' eHL in engaging with the eHealth care system on the indicators on eHealth literacy, patient health engagement, e-Health usage status among Chronic disease patients included type 2 diabetes patients, Chronic kidney disease, and Cardiovascular Diseases.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of mindfulness meditation on trait mindfulness, perceived stress, emotion regulation, and quality of life in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. Method: An experimental repeated measures design was used among a sample of 74 end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis at a dialysis center at Jahra hospital, Kuwait. The patients were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=37) and control groups (n=37). The experimental group participated in 30-minute mindfulness meditation sessions (three sessions a week for five weeks) held during their hemodialysis sessions. The dependent variables of both groups were measured at baseline, middle of intervention, and end of intervention using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL-36) questionnaire.
- Prolonged sitting (sedentary behavior) is a risk factor for decreased kidney function, obesity, diabetes and mortality. Prolonged sitting is associated with decreased kidney function and increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and death. - In a previous pilot study funded by NIH, it was shown that a Sit Less, Interact and Move More (SLIMM) intervention targeting sedentary behavior in people with kidney disease was able to decrease prolonged sitting but that effect was not sustained. - Therefore, the researchers are currently conducting a follow-up study named Sit Less, Interact and Move More (SLIMM) 2. - This NIH funded study is conducted at the University of Utah and Stanford University. - The purpose of this study is to see if guided resistance training (to improve muscle strength) and semaglutide (FDA approved diabetes and weight loss medication that might also improve physical function) can boost adherence to the SLIMM Intervention and reduce sedentary behavior.
