Filter by:Insomnia or sleep disturbance is a common disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but is often unrecognized and undertreated. It is known that sleep disorders may indirectly cause a variety of diseases and affect quality of life. The most common sleep disorders that occur in CKD are insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, obstructive or central sleep apnea (SA), and sleep disorders. This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Sideral® Sucrosomial Iron and iron chewable tablets 100mg commonly used in health insurance on sleep disorders in patients with CKD and iron deficiency anemia.
This pilot study will assess the efficacy of a pregnancy and contraception education decision aid (DA) for patients with chronic kidney disease to support decisions about reproductive health, and will assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention to inform future Research Project Grant (R01) level studies.
Psychological distress (anxiety and depression) is common in and experienced differently by people living with long-term health conditions (LTCs). Being able to measure whether psychological distress is related to living with a LTC would allow researchers and clinicians to provide interventions specifically tailored to the challenges of living with a LTC and therefore provide the most appropriate support for these patients. Such a measure would also be useful in research to identify the presence of illness-related distress in different patient groups. This project will therefore create a new measure of illness-related distress that has applications for both research and clinical practice. This will involve the psychometric validation of the new illness-related distress measure to test how valid and reliable the measure is. The aim of the project is to provide initial validation of the Illness Related Distress Scale in a community sample, recruited through online platforms. The objective of the study is to gather initial validity and reliability data for the scale.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of retatrutide on renal function in participants with overweight or obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD), with or without Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The study will lasts around 31 weeks.
Wahsed microbiota transplantation (WMT) is a novel and promising therapeutic method for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This clinical trail aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WMT in the treatment of CKD.
This clinical trial aims to investigate and test the effect of an acid/base diet in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, CKD stage 4 and 5. The trial is guided by the hypothesis that an acid/base diet will reduce the degree of acidosis and simultaneously reduce the need for bicarbonate supplements.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a single dose of ravulizumab IV compared with placebo in reducing the risk of the clinical consequences of AKI (MAKE) at 90 days in adult participants with CKD who undergo non-emergent cardiac surgery with CPB.
Justification: Studies in recent years have shown that suffering an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI) is an independent risk factor for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is associated with cardiovascular complications, increases medical care costs, and decreases survival. These AKI to ERC transition cases add to the growing number of CKD cases already being seen globally. It is for them that in recent years therapeutic strategies have been sought to reduce or stop this process of transition from AKI to CKD. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of dapagliflozin plus standard medical treatment (TMS), compared with only TMS for 21 days, in hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of severe AKI (KDIGO 3) in reducing the incidence of CKD to 18 months of follow-up. Design: Randomized, single center, open study. 100 hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of AKI KDIGO 3, without previous CKD, will be randomized to receive 10 mg of dapagliflozin every 24 h for 21 days + TMS or only TMS. During their follow-up, baseline blood and urine samples will be taken and at 3, 6, 12 and 18 months. At 18 months, the development of CKD will be assessed using the KDIGO clinical criteria and with the determination of urinary biomarkers (Serpina A3, HSP72, KIM 1 and NGAL).
The occurrence of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has offered an unmatched global challenge for the healthcare research community. SARS-CoV-2 infection is produced by binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2), which among other sites is highly expressed in the endothelial cells of the blood vessels, pericytes and the heart, as well as in renal podocytes and proximal tubular epithelial cells. Autopsy studies detected the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in both myocardium and renal tissue, suggesting that COVID-19 profoundly influences the cardiovascular (CV) system and the kidneys and this may lead to long-termed cardio-pulmonary-renal consequences. Data emerging from the general population suggests that COVID-19 is essentially an endothelial disease, with possible deleterious long-term effects that are currently incompletely understood. Therefore, the investigators aim to assess the CV risk in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) including dialysis patients and kidney transplanted (KTx) population, following SARS-CoV-2 infection, by determining the long-term impact of this disease on CV and renal outcomes in the aforementioned population as compared to a control group of matched patients.
This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of integrated ambulatory supportive care visits with standard nephrology outpatient visits for six months in patients with advanced CKD. The study team hypothesizes that patients in the integrated care arm will trend towards improved symptom burden, improved quality of life scores and more engagement in advance care planning. Primary objectives: To test the impact of integrated ambulatory supportive care in nephrology care on symptom burden. Secondary: To test the impact of integrated ambulatory supportive care on quality of life and engagement in advance care planning and to demonstrate study feasibility.
