Filter by: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 research was planned to measure pain, ecchymosis, hematoma and patient satisfaction with ice massage applied to the fistula before the arteriovenous fistula procedure in hemodialysis patients. Patients who agree to participate in the study will be given ice massage before the procedure and the relevant parameters will be measured.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test alpha lipoic acid in children undergoing hemodialysis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will the use of alpha lipoic acid lower cardiovascular events in that population? - Is the incidence of those cardiovascular events linked to the oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in that population? - Will the drug cause side effects? Participants will: - take either one dose daily of 600mg tablet Alpha lipoic acid orally or a look-alike tablet containing no drug. - be monitored for the occurrence of cardiovascular events (stroke, angina, etc.) - be monitored for the occurrence of side effects - give blood samples for testing serum levels of E-selectin biomarker and superoxide dismutase enzyme - undergo clinical examinations (Echocardiogram, Duplex ultrasonography, Intima-Media-Thickness) Researchers will compare between the group taking alpha lipoic acid and the group taking the look-alike tablet.
The study aims to improve the health status of chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis using nutritional education program on quality of life anserum d electrolytes level by application of physical and clinical evaluation and some biochemical analysis before and after a specified nutritional program
Kolcaba's comfort theory is a theory used by nurses to increase the comfort of patients. There are limited studies determining that nursing care provided according to this theory contributes to the increase in patients' comfort levels in various patient groups. This study will be carried out in the hemodialysis center of a public hospital located in the city center of Bingöl. Patients in the intervention group receiving hemodialysis treatment will be given nursing care by the researcher for 12 sessions during the sessions in which the patient receives hemodialysis treatment. In order to provide nursing care, nursing diagnoses suitable for the patient group will be determined in advance and the care the patient needs will be given according to these diagnoses.. If necessary, the researcher will add additional diagnoses to the preliminary diagnosis form and provide care. In this research, the individual nursing care needs of the researcher patient will be determined. Individualized caregiving is unique to this study. Individually provided care is expected to increase patient comfort and satisfaction. Increased comfort will help the patient cope more easily with the disease and hemodialysis treatment symptoms. In addition, the results of individual care provided can guide nurses in their care behaviors. By adding this research to the literature, the groundwork will be laid for studies that will provide individual care to patients. It is expected that the results of this research will guide the planning of the research and the provision of individualized care in all patient groups, especially patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
There are studies in the world where music therapy is used in the management of symptoms in hemodialysis, but the number of studies in our country is insufficient. This study will be carried out to determine the effect of music therapy on itching, muscle cramps and comfort level in individuals receiving hemodialysis HD treatment. The research will be conducted in the Amasya Sabuncuoğlu Şerefeddin Training and Research Hospital Dialysis Unit Hemodialysis Clinic, with a pre-test post-test single group, quasi-experimental research design. The sample of the research; It will constitute 38 individuals aged 18 and over who have been receiving hemodialysis treatment for at least 6 months. Music therapy will be applied to the participants in the clinic for 30 minutes after the 2nd hour of each hemodialysis session for 4 weeks. Research data will be collected between January and March 2024 using the Introductory Information Form, 5-D Itch Scale, Visual Analog Scale and KHemodialysis Comfort Scale -Version II. Data collection forms will be applied twice in total, at the end of the 1st session (pretest) and at the end of the 8th session (posttest). The data obtained from the research will be analyzed in the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 21 statistical program. Variables covering the descriptive characteristics of the participants will be expressed in numbers and percentages. Whether the data has a normal distribution will be determined by the Kolmogrov Smirnov test and parametric and/or nonparametric tests will be used according to the results obtained. Statistical significance value will be accepted as p<.05.
The aim of this study is to establish NLR, MLR as a good predictors for outcome of CKD including hemodialysis and CKD stage (4-5) patients as regard inflammation, malnutrition and anemia on cardiovascular complication.
The goal of this retrospective cohort study is to investigate the effects of compound amino acid capsule on nutrition, calcium and phosphorus metabolism in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can compound amino acid capsule improve the nutritional status of MHD patients? 2. Can compound amino acid capsule help to correct the calcium and phosphorus metabolism imbalance of MHD patients? 3. Is compound amino acid capsule safe for MHD patients? We will collect the medical history and laboratory data of MHD patients who regularly took compound amino acid capsule for 9 months or did not use the same preparation in previous medical experience. We focus on the difference of serum albumin level between the treatment group and the control group within 9 months, as well as prealbumin, hemoglobin, ferritin, calcium, phosphorus, 1,25-OH 2-D3 and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH).
Through a cross-sectional questionnaire survey, a general information questionnaire and Dialysis Frequency, Severity, and Symptom Burden Index were used to investigate the frequency, severity, and degree of symptom distress in MHD patients, and to analyze the differences in symptom distress status between long and short dialysis age MHD patients. Using the R 4.2.2 software qgraph package, construct symptom networks for MHD patients of long and short dialysis age through network analysis. Analyze network centrality indicators, including intensity, closeness centrality, and mediation centrality, to identify core symptoms and compare if there are any differences between the two groups, aiming to lay the foundation for precise and efficient phased symptom management.
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the promoting effect of pentoxifylline on anemia correction in hemodialysis patients, and involvement of the hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha. While, the secondary aim is to evaluate the effect of pentoxifylline on inflammation, hepcidin and other markers of iron homeostasis in these patients. Participants in this trial will be selected to be age and sex ratio matched and will be randomly assigned into two groups. Patients in group I will receive their regular doses of erythropoietin stimulating agents and other routine treatments plus 400 mg pentoxifylline tablets twice daily with meals for 6 months. While, patients in group II will receive their regular doses of erythropoietin stimulating agents and other routine treatments.
