Filter by:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality. In particular children with early-onset CKD have a lifelong increased risk to suffer from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, children with CKD deserve our attention. The immune system in children with CKD is disturbed, exhibiting pro-inflammatory features. Therefore, we aim to learn more about the characteristics of the immune system in early-onset CKD. In this project PBMC of pediatric CKD patients and age-matched healthy controls will be analysed and compared using CITE-Seq as a multimodal scRNAseq phenotyping method. All patients will be clinically characterized to integrate cardiovascular and immunological data.
Effects of functional inspiratory muscle training by telerehabilitation on respiratory and peripheral functions, functional capacity, diaphragm thickness and mobility, posture, quality of life, cognitive function, fatigue, physical activity, endothelial function and aortic stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease will be investigated.
Chronic renal failure is a chronic and progressive disease with a poor prognosis. In recent years, it can be found in many literature reports that traditional Chinese medicine therapy has obvious effects on early and mid-term chronic renal failure. It can not only improve clinical symptoms, but also block or delay the process of renal failure. It is relatively rare that compounds such as compounds. The side effects of drugs may be used in combination with compound drugs to improve clinical side effects and help patients improve their quality of life to complete the treatment course. It can provide clinicians with another choice in treatment. A previous study confirmed that the use of Eefooton oral solution of Chinese herbal medicine concentrate has a significant protective effect on the kidneys that have not undergone hemodialysis. Eefooton is extracted from Rhodiola, Huang Qi, American Ginseng, Dang Ginseng, and Ligustrum lucidum by biotechnology. It has immunomodulatory effects, anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory effects, and regulates calcium metabolism. The purpose of this clinical observation and research is to evaluate the eGFR changes in the renal function of patients with chronic kidney disease with the combination of Eefooton oral solution and commonly used chemical drugs.
The studies included the effect of chronic kidney disease advancement on the accumulation of oxidative stress markers in plasma. In patients with end-stage renal disease, the effect of replacement therapy was also assessed. Therefore, the patient with chronic kidney disease was evaluated divided into three groups (chronic kidney disease at stage G3b-G4, peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis). In addition, changes in the interrelationship between oxidative modifications, carbonyl and nitrogen stress, and the carbamylation resulting from the progression of kidney disease have been taken into account. This issue is related to the assessment of whether the protein modification types differentiate patients depending on the stage of chronic kidney disease and the method of renal replacement therapy. Protein modifications associated with oxidative stress are a part of the complications resulting from chronic kidney diseases, such as malnutrition, chronic inflammation, dyslipidemia, iron disorder, and calcium and phosphate disorders. Also, diseases of atherosclerosis aetiology are much higher frequency in patients with chronic kidney disease than in those with normal kidney function. Therefore, in the studies presented here, particular attention was paid to the effect of oxidative stress on chronic kidney disease complications in the aspect of cardiovascular damage. The specificity of atherosclerosis in patients with chronic kidney disease was evaluated by comparing groups of this type of patients with patients with ischemic heart diseases and normal renal function.
The purpose of this study is to check if patients' exercise during their dialysis sessions can improve the blood parameters which affect the heart disease and osteoporosis, so that we can help patients live longer.
Anemia is a common comorbidity of CKD and is associated with a decreased quality of life and increased healthcare resource utilization. Anemia increases the risk of CKD progression, cardiovascular complications, and overall mortality. The current standard of care includes oral or intravenous iron supplementation, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and red blood cell transfusion. Treatment with high doses of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents increases rates of hospitalization, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Resistance to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents is a therapeutic challenge in many patients . NAC reduces the risk of progression of CKD of any etiology to end stage renal disease (ESRD) but the mechanism by which it reduces the progression of CKD to ESRD is unclear. It may be because of its antioxidant and vasodilatory nature. Prolonged duration of administration and higher dosage of NAC can protect kidneys.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the supplementation with tocotrienol, a vitamin E compound on inflammation, oxidative stress, and microbiota on Chronic Kidney Disease patients.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of curcuminoids in the prevention of CI-AKI in CKD patients.The result of the study was prophylactic administration with curcuminoids in addition to standard treatment reduce the incidence of CI-AKI CKD patients undergoing elective CAG.
COVID-19 pandemic affected the admission of patients to the hospital especially the older patients (> 65 years old) because of curfews and the reluctance of patients to apply to the hospitals. Chronic kidney disease is characterized with the progressive loss of kidney function over the time and regular follow-up of patients for their kidney function and treatment of complications is recommended in these patients.
Rationale: COVID-19 is associated with severely increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease stage G4-G5 and patients on dialysis or after kidney transplantation. Therefore, effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccination would be of great clinical importance in these patients. However, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination studies have excluded these patients so-far. Literature data indicate that vaccination may be less effective in these patient groups. Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with chronic kidney disease stage G4-G5, patients on dialysis or after kidney transplantation during two years follow-up after vaccination. Study design: prospective single center observational cohort study. Study population: - all Dutch patients on dialysis with data registered in the Dutch Dialysis registry (RENINE) - all Dutch patients after kidney transplantation with data registered in the Dutch national kidney transplant registry (NOTR). - All Dutch patients with chronic kidney disease stage G4-G5 registered in the Santeon hospitals. Intervention: After SARS-CoV-2 vaccination according to standard of care, blood will be drawn for antibody response measurements at day 28 and month 6 after 2nd vaccination at by mailer-based finger-prick in 3400 hemodialysis patients, 600 peritoneal dialysis patients, 4000 patients after kidney transplantation and 4000 patients with chronic kidney disease stage G4-G5. Patients who will undergo a 3rd SARS-CoV-2 vaccination via the national vaccination program for immunocompromised patients will be asked to carry out the mailer-based finger-prick 28 days after the 3rd SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, instead of the antibody measurement 6 months after the 2nd SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint is efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination determined as: - the incidence of COVID-19 after vaccination. Secondary endpoints are - mortality - adverse events of specific interest according to (inter)national authorities in collaboration with LAREB - presence of HLA-antibodies in dialysis patients on the waiting list for a first kidney transplantation - acute rejection and graft failure in patients after kidney transplantation In a subset of patients additional secondary endpoints will be assessed - the antibody based immune response at 28 days after completion of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. - the durability of antibody based immune response at 6 months compared to at 28 days after having received two subsequent SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations, in patients that have not received a 3rd SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. - the antibody based immune response at 28 days after having received the 3rd SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. The incidence of these endpoints will be compared, if applicable, to those: - in the general population who are vaccinated - in patients on dialysis or after kidney transplant who are not vaccinated Within these patient groups endpoints will be compared between recipients of different vaccines.
