Filter by:This study; It will be done to evaluate the presence of oxidative stress and its effects on lipid peroxidation products and antioxidant parameters after massage application and the possible effects of the appropriate massage protocol applied to the patients on oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients with restless legs syndrome.
The goal of this multicenter observational study is to develope and validate a new scoring system for preoperative prediction of difficulty of Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy. Healthy living kidney donors will be enrolled. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) can the investigators predict difficulty of the operation ? 2) Can the investigators score difficulty based on this new scoring system? Difficulty of LDN will be graded by the operating surgeon at the end of the operation based on intraoperative predefined parameters. All operations will be blindly scored by the operating surgeon, while one radiologist will blindly review all preoperative CT scans. LAPDOCTOR scores will be compared with the degrees of difficulty assigned by the operating surgeon to investigate the match rate.
Dialysis patients are prescribed an average of 10-12 medications per day, from up to 4-5 different clinicians and have the heaviest pill burden of all chronic conditions given their degree of comorbidity. One strategy for addressing the problem of "medication overload" is through scalable deprescribing interventions. MedSafer is an electronic deprescribing tool that cross-references patient health data with existing deprescribing guidelines and provides a deprescribing report to clinicians to facilitate deprescribing and reducing the burden of polypharmacy. In this study the investigators will test MedSafer on dialysis patients paired with medication reconciliation on an intervention unit compared to a control unit.
Here the investigators will perform a double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the synergic effect of low protein diet and prebiotics in reducing the microbial inflammatory uremic toxins.
The investigators sought to compare the effect of two preload targets of stroke volume variation of ≤6% and ≤12% on the postoperative renal function in patients undergoing living donor kidney transplantation. Goal-directed fluid therapy will be performed in both groups to maintain adequate stroke volume, stroke volume variation, mean arterial pressure (or systemic vascular resistance) during kidney transplantation. Only the preload target for giving crystalloid during surgery will be different between groups.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the administration of a full tobramycin dose (5 mg/kg) during the first 30 minutes of a hemodialysis session provides favorable pharmacokinetic parameters in subjects with end-stage renal disease who are suspected or has been diagnosed with Gram-negative rod-type infection. It is anticipated that the administration of a single 5 mg/kg dose of tobramycin during the first 30 minutes of a hemodialysis session will achieve an optimal ratio of maximum tobramycin concentration to minimal inhibitory concentration (Cmax/CMI) of 8 to 10 while limiting the accumulation (trough < 2 mg/L before the next hemodialysis session) in end-stage renal disease subjects requiring intermittent hemodialysis sessions.
Open label multi center study for the donation of HCV positive kidneys to HCV negative recipients with interventional treatment to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.
The purpose of the study is to identify predictors of treatment response. This involves collected baseline clinical parameters and bloods for biochemical parameters prior to administering the study treatment. A positive outcome following treatment was defined as an uptitration of haemoglobin by greater than 5g/l within 2 months. The study evaluated the participants response to treatment against the clinical and biochemical information collected prior to treatment being received.
This is a prospective single arm study enrolling patients who are scheduled for creation of a new Brachiocephalic or Radiocephalic AV fistula. Up to 80 patients will be enrolled, 50 with upper arm AV fistula and 30 with forearm AV fistula. All patients will be implanted with the VasQ device, a subcutaneous arteriovenous conduit support for vascular access. The follow up period in this study will be for a duration of 12 months, with follow up visits scheduled at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
Primary Objective: Evaluate the reduction in serum phosphorus from baseline to end of study with Sevelamer carbonate tablets 800 mg and Sevelamer carbonate Powder 2.4 g in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients both on haemodialysis and not on dialysis Secondary Objective: Evaluate the safety on the basis of adverse events, changes in laboratory values and vital signs from baseline (Day 0) to Day 56 (End of treatment/ End of Study)
