Filter by:This study is designed to assess how effective letermovir is in preventing recurrence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in adult kidney or kidney/pancreas transplant recipients who are UW Health patients. Participants will be in the study for about 6 months.
Complex emotions and other possible changes associated with agreeing to enroll after laparoscopic donor nephrectomy may cause living donors to experience anxiety, increase in perceived pain temperature, or last longer after surgery. Purpose: The purpose of using this method is to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on postoperative pain in laparoscopic living kidney donors. Method: This randomized controlled single-blind study will conduct with 63 patients (study group = 31, control group = 32) who met the care inclusion criteria and underwent laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy in the transplantation service of a private hospital in Istanbul. The sample size and power of the study were calculated with power analysis (G*Power 3.1). The data will obtain in the study will evaluate in a computer environment through the SPSS 22.0 statistical program. The data of the research will combine with the patient information formula, postoperative patient follow-up and evaluation formula, Visual Pain Scale (VAS), PCA and total demand and delivery of boluses and additional analgesic procedures. This study was conducted in accordance with CONSORT.
Does home-based training work in kidney transplant recipients with reduced physical function? The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if home-based training works to better physical function in adult kidney transplant recipients. It will also learn about participants preoperative physical function. The main question it aim to answer is - Does home-based training improves physical function in kidney transplant recipients. - All the participants are assessed to have reduced physical function before the transplantation Participants will: - follow either a home-based training program or todays standard of physical activity after kidney transplantation - the program starts 4 weeks after the transplantation and lasts for 12 weeks. A physiotherapist will help the participants in the beginning. - the program consists of both cardio-training, strength-straining and optional activity - the training group will be followed up every week by phone. Their activity will be documented via patients logs and heart rate monitor. - the effect of the training will be evaluated one year after the transplantation
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of TCD601 when compared to rATG in de novo renal transplant patients.
Investigator led, prospective, observational cohort study to detect genomic features which can predict outcomes following kidney transplantation. 1. Determine non-HLA genomic mismatches between donor-recipient pairs which impact kidney allograft survival following transplantation 2. Derive polygenic risk scores on pre-transplant blood and/or kidney biopsy samples which predict kidney allograft dysfunction 3. Derive polygenic risk scores on post-transplant blood and/or kidney biopsy samples which predict kidney allograft dysfunction
The goal of this observational study is to develop a machine learning algorithm for early detection of infections in kidney transplant recipients using data recorded by wearable digital health technologies. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the biometric data pattern changes in impending infections? 2. What accuracy the machine learning algorithm can achieve? Participants will be given/use their own wearable device that will record biometric data. Any infection event will be recorded and an algorithm will be trained to recognize changes in biometric data preceding symptomatic infection.
Using CDW data from 5 tertiary hospitals in Korea, this study identify the optimal range of trough level that can prevent adverse outcome in the early periods after transplantation.
Context Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a frequent and potentially severe event in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Most of available treatment display adverse effects that limit their use. Therefore, in case of an infection, it is of primary importance to identify the patients at high risk of severe infection and/or disease, and who ill benefit the most from antiviral therapy. As CMV infection is mainly controlled by cellular immunity, measuring specific anti-CMV T lymphocyte immunity could be an interesting tool for identifying these at-risk individuals. One of these tests is the QuantiFERON-CMV (QF-CMV) assay (QuiagenTM, Courtabœuf, France). Aim of the study The aim of the study is to determine the extent to which the QF-CMV can be use to identify, among SOT recipients with a CMV viremia, those that may not need antiviral therapy. Methods Participation to the study will be proposed to SOT recipients with an asymptomatic CMV infection with a blood viral load between 1,000 and 15,000 IU/mL. The QF-CMV will be performed in included participants, and the result will be given or not to the clinician in charge (according to the attributed group through randomisation). - In the group without result communication, the clinician in charge will determine whether a treatment is needed according to the guidelines and the local practices. - in the group with result communication, the clinician in charge will be advised not to introduce antiviral therapy if the result is positive, and to determine whether a treatment is needed according to the guidelines and the local practices if the result is positive. In the following weeks, the viral load will be monitored, along with creatininemia, cell blood count, and kalemia (to detect antiviral adverse effect). The participants will be sampled: - 5 to 12 days after QF-CMV sampling (V2) ; - 7 to 14 days days after V2 (V3 - between D12 and D26) ; - 7 to 14 days days after V3 (V4 - between D19 and D40) . Endpoints The primary endpoint is the rate of uncontrolled infection 5 to 12 days after QF-CMV sampling, defined as follows: - Blood CMV viral load >10,000 IU/mL [4 log]; - And/or increase in blood viral load ≥0.5 log IU/mL with CV otherwise >5000 IU/mL; - And/or the onset of CMV disease. The secondary endpoint is the is the occurrence antiviral adverse effects (hematoxicity or nephrotoxicity).
The goal of this observational study is to compare outcomes of robot-assisted kidney transplantation and open kidney transplantation. The main questions are - comprehensively analyze our early experience of robot-assisted kidney transplant patients and compare the results with those of open kidney transplant patients
