Filter by:The objectives of this trial are to determine whether, in critically ill ESKD patients randomization to fluid removal guided by lung and inferior vena cava ultrasound, compared to standard care, leads to Improved pulmonary congestion (primary outcome); and safety (secondary outcome) in the short-term.
Delayed graft function (DGF), delineated by the necessity for dialytic intervention within the initial week post-transplantation, afflicts approximately 20%-50% of recipients. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the potential efficacy of norepinephrine infusion in conjunction with goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) in mitigating the occurrence of DGF among individuals undergoing kidney transplantations. The findings of this investigation have the potential to advance the field of perioperative care in kidney transplantations by providing insights into optimized management strategies.
At times patients with advanced renal failure present with severe hyperkalemia or acidosis and very high serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations. These patients cannot be dialyzed aggressively as the lowering of serum BUN may results in disequilibrium syndrome but on the other hand they need aggressive dialysis in order to lower their serum potassium or fix their severe acidosis. If one is able to add urea to the dialysis fluid, one can prevent the rapid lowering of serum BUN and osmolality at the same time as doing aggressive dialysis to lower serum potassium and/or fix the metabolic acidosis.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate and compare the prevalence of forward head , hyper kyphosis and balance in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. The main questions it mains to answer are: What is the prevalence of forward head posture in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? What is the prevalence of hyper kyphosis in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? Is there any relation between postural abnormalities and physical function in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? Participants will answer 2 questionnaires and will do some functional tests.
The SODIAH study is designed with the aim to assess the impact of isonatremic dialysis on interdialytic weight gain, fluid status, intradialytic hemodynamic stability, and incidence of intradialytic morbid events in dialysis patients. The study will be comparing the Na management option on the 6008 HD dialysis machines with the same machine without the Na management option turned on. Relevant performance and clinical data will be collected as well as information on patients' quality of life and wellbeing.
A prospective, single arm, non-randomized feasibility study to confirm the safety and performance of the Xeltis Hemodialysis Access conduit, aXess-E, in subjects older than 18 years with end-stage renal disease, who plan to undergo hemodialysis for at least the first 6 months after study access creation.
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of 5 different dialysis treatments (combinations of dialysis mode and dialysis fluid sodium content) on the microcirculation (MC) and sequestered sodium content (SSC) in adult prevalent end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients treated with hemodialysis (HD) or hemodiafiltration (HDF). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the effects on the sequestered sodium content and microcirculation after 4 weeks of treatment with the following dialysis modes? - HDF with an expected zero diffusive sodium balance (Dialysate sodium concentration (DNa)= Plasma sodium concentration (PNa)) compared to - HDF with an expected diffusive sodium efflux (DNa < PNa, difference 3 mmol/L) compared to - HD with an expected zero diffusive sodium balance (DNa = PNa) compared to - HD with an expected diffusive sodium efflux (DNa < PNa, difference 3 mmol/L) compared to - Isolated ultrafiltration for 30 minutes followed by HD with an expected zero diffusive sodium balance (DNa = PNa) 2. Are the SSC and MC interrelated in this patient group? This study is a randomized cross-over trial. Participants will be subjected to the abovementioned dialysis treatment modes in random order.
The purpose of this mixed methods study is to adapt CAPABLE as CAPABLE Transplant to accomplish two things: 1) To resolve barriers to being classified as active on the Kidney Transplant (KT) waitlist and 2) as a surgical prehabilitation intervention targeting the pre-frail/ frail KT waitlist population. It consists of two phases- an open label pilot and a randomized waitlist control trial.
The objective of the trial is to assess key areas of uncertainty regarding the use of synchronous home-based tele exercise in future practice and research, including issues relating to feasibility, safety and potential for efficacy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test light therapy in patients with end stage kidney disease who are receiving hemodialysis. The main aim is to determine if light therapy decreases fatigue severity. Participants will receive light therapy using special glasses for one hour during the dialysis sessions for four weeks of treatment.
