Filter by:To assess the performance of the Nova Max Creatinine and eGFR assay in the hands of CLIA-Waived Point-of-Care users in at least three (3) distinct Point-of-Care clinical settings on venous, and capillary blood and compare the performance characteristics to a traceable laboratory reference method (the Siemens EXL creatinine determination). To assess the Ease of Use of the Nova Max Creatinine and eGFR Meter System in the hands of the intended CLIA-Waived Point-of-Care users.
Metabolic acidosis is a common problem that occurs with worsening chronic kidney disease. Dietary acid can build up when the kidneys are not working well. This can be associated with a higher risk of worsening kidney function and death. The usual treatment is a medication called sodium bicarbonate which works to balance the acids in the body. The medication however often does not work and causes side effects. Consumption of alkalizing fruit and vegetables may work as a treatment for metabolic acidosis. This trial is being done to see if fruit and vegetables, provided via home delivery, can become a viable management for metabolic acidosis in patients with chronic kidney disease.
There is a lack of consensus on whether women with proteinuric kidney disease benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation during pregnancy to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism. This pilot study will investigate the feasibility of obtaining thrombosis profile data using a viscoelastic haemostasis monitor - Sonoclot - from pregnant women with kidney disease, and exploratory analyses to elucidate correlations between output values and clinical parameters
The CAREPATH will conduct Technical Validation and Usability (TVU) study by involving ≥ 45 target end users (16 patients with MCI or mild dementia with their informal caregivers and 16 healthcare professionals from various disciplines) and Clinical Investigation (CI) study involving ≥ 200 patients (≥ 100 users to pilot the CAREPATH platform and ≥ 100 patients as reference cases). Both of these pilot studies will be coordinated in four European countries (Spain, Romania, Germany and UK) with diverse health and social care systems, ICT landscape/digital maturity of healthcare provision and dementia national programs, which will allow for strengthening the evidence base on health outcomes and efficiency gains. The CAREPATH outcomes can be summarized as: 1. An Integrated Care Platform that jointly addresses multimorbidity, dementia and diminished intrinsic capacity and optimally manages healthcare interventions for its users (patients, informal caregiver, healthcare providers, etc). 2. Technical Validation and Usability (TVU) study involving over 45 users and Clinical Investigation (CI) involving over 200 patients that will be conducted in four European countries (Spain, Romania, Germany and UK) during two years and mobilizing the other necessary actors, such as caregivers and healthcare professionals, for the validation of healthcare interventions. 3. Dementia / Multimorbidity Guidelines that will be conceived for best healthcare delivery. 4. Health Economics Impact Assessment for healthcare cost effectiveness and care provision equalities. The incremental cost-effectiveness and the incremental cost-utility ratio would allow revealing the incremental cost (or the potential savings) per unit of benefit of switching from usual care to CAREPATH-an integrated patient-centred approach- in multimorbid elderly patients with dementia, and therefore, to determinate whether the CAREPATH approach would be considered as a cost-effective alternative.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy (including durability) of up to 2 REACT injections given 3 months (+30 days) apart and delivered percutaneously into biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys in participants with T2DM and CKD.
The aims of this study are to: - Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) survival of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). - Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) complication rate of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). - Analyze the intensity of pain perceived by the patient with each cannulation technique under study.
This study evaluates the clinical response (quality of life, nutritional status, functional capacity, and disease knowledge) of advanced CKD patients who undergo an individualized dietary intervention and a nutritional education program (group workshops) using motivation coaching techniques, compared to controls who receive general hygiene-nutritional education at every visit.
In the Kidney ACTion study, CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) patients at increased risk of progression to ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) will be randomly assigned to either standard of care in a specialist nephrology outpatient clinic or to receiving CKD care supported by a novel AI-supported (Artificial Intelligence) software solution.
The study aims to evaluate the kinetics and effect of glucagon in patients with chronic kidney disease and liver cirrhosis and matched healthy subjects, respectively.
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect a spiced-infused baked good has on inflammatory biomarkers in adults who are overweight and/or who has chronic kidney disease. Participants will be involved for 10 days in this research study.
