Filter by:A home-based exercise program will be implemented in three different groups of participants: advanced chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease in substitutive treatment hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Participants will be evaluated before the program, after 3 months and after 6 months from the starting of the program. During the first 3 months the researcher will phone them weekly to reinforce the exercise habit, and during the last three months, there will be no reinforcement. Assessment will include strength, functional capacity, health-related quality of life and depressive symptoms.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of AB023 (xisomab 3G3) in patients with end stage renal disease on chronic hemodialysis. Two dose levels will be evaluated in two cohorts. Within each cohort the patients will be randomized to receive either AB023 (xisomab 3G3) or placebo (at a ratio of 2:1 active: placebo).
The clinical Investigation will be performed to compare the safety and clinical performance profile of different hemodialyzers, all applied in on-line postdilution hemodiafiltration
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Cook Advance® Enforcer™ 35 Focal-Force PTA Balloon Catheter (or Enforcer balloon) in treating narrowed blood vessels compared to treatment with a conventional angioplasty balloon.
In China, the estimated prevalence of patients with ESRD receiving PD or maintenance HD increased from 51.7 per million population (pmp) at the end of 2007 to 79.1 pmp at the end of 2008. Theranova 400 is designed to deliver the performance of hemodiafiltration (HDF) using standard hemodialysis (HD) equipment and treatment mode, including HD machines, disposables, blood and dialysate flows, length of treatment and frequency of treatment. Theranova 400 utilizes a Medium Cut-Off (MCO) membrane with extended permeability for middle solutes to closely modulate the removal function of the kidney without the complexity of HDF. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Theranova Dialyzer in hemodialysis (HD) mode compared to hemodiafiltration (HDF), using FX 800 in HDF mode. Comparison of the study arms over time will be used to support the safety of Theranova 400 by demonstrating stable serum albumin levels, as well as support the dialyzer's efficacy to significantly remove serum middle molecules.
In China, the estimated prevalence of patients with ESRD receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) or maintenance hemodialysis (HD) increased from 51.7 per million population (pmp) at the end of 2007 to 79.1 pmp at the end of 2008. There is a growing body of evidence that large uremic solutes play a significant role in clinical complications in dialysis patients. Since high-flux membranes show low permeability for large uremic solutes, extracorporeal blood purification treatments using these membranes have failed to significantly eliminate and reduce plasma levels of these molecules. To remove large sized uremic solutes by dialysis the membrane needs to have adequate permeability properties (pore size, porosity) for these solutes. The Theranova 400 contains a dialysis membrane that has a sharper sieving profile and a higher cutoff than that in conventional high-flux dialysis membranes. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Theranova Dialyzer compared to the FX80 with clinical endpoints.
Optical coherence tomography is a non-invasive and non-contact imaging modality that enables two-dimensional cross-sectional and three-dimensional volumetric imaging of tissue architecture.
There are significant and persistent disparities in access to kidney transplantation and as a result most patients with end stage renal disease receive hemodialysis (HD). HD is unique as it is a treatment performed in a group setting which lends itself to forming social networks. The goal of this research study is to identify and characterize the social networks of HD patients and measure the influence of HD social networks on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors towards transplantation using repeated surveys and a network targeted educational intervention.
Insomnia is a common and distressing symptom for patients on hemodialysis (HD), and there is evidence for a much larger impact on the health of patients. Chronic insomnia is disrupted sleep that occurs at least three nights per week and lasts at least three months. The SLEEP-HD study is a randomized open-label clinical trial to compare two types of treatment for insomnia in participants who have end-stage renal disease on HD, and who have been diagnosed with chronic insomnia. The two types of treatment involved in the study are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) or treatment with a drug (trazodone vs placebo). 126 participants will be enrolled who are undergoing HD in two study locations (Seattle, Washington and Albuquerque, New Mexico).
The primary purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of trials which change the dialysate (dialysis bath prescription) of potassium and bicarbonate according to a standardized algorithm and according to the results of blood testing performed prior to each dialysis. In addition, the trial will provide estimates of the extent to which performing dialysis in this way lowers the risk of abnormal heart rhythms in people with kidney failure who are being treated with chronic hemodialysis.
