Filter by:The purpose of this study is to map the population of stage 4 and 5 kidney failure patients followed in consultation by the CHSF nephrology team and to determine the factors associated with recurrent hospitalizations.
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of SelfWrap, a bioabsorbable perivascular wrap.
Malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO) is an extrinsic ureteral obstruction caused by malignant diseases. This study aim to compare tandem 6 Fr Percuflex™ stents and single large-caliber 8Fr silicone stent in patients with MUO. The primary endpoint is stent failure rate. The secondary endpoints are patient comfort, quality of life and overall survival.
In recent studies, it has been reported that the renal resistive index is effective in detecting postoperative acute kidney injury in the early period. This study aims to evaluate the preoperative and postoperative renal resistive index variation with intraoperative controlled hypotension and research the renal resistive index's utility in the early detection of renal dysfunction that may develop after surgery.
Evaluation of Renal Protection Of Dexmedetomidine Versus Midazolam As a Sedative For Septic Patients In Intensive Care Unit
Range of motion exercises is a simple nursing action that has many benefits and is easy to perform independently . Hemodialysis patients are less active and have low intrinsic motivation for physical activity compared to sedentary healthy individuals. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of joint range of motion exercises on fatigue and sleep quality in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. As a result of the literature review; The lack of a study on this subject and the inclusion of nurses, who play an important role in symptom management, in care interventions that are easy to learn and without complications, increase the quality of care.
To assess the discriminative properties of pleural fluid (PF) N-terminal-proB-type-natriuretic-peptide (NTproBNP) levels in identifying heart failure (HF)-associated pleural effusions (PE).
The goal of this clinical trial is to look at the effect of SGLT2 (Sodium glucose transporter 2) inhibition in patients receiving a kidney-transplant 6 weeks earlier at Oslo University hospital. Rikshospitalet. Investigators will search for answers along three pathways: Can SGLT2 inhibitor 1) preserve glomerular filtration rate (GFR), 2) reduce interstitial fibrosis in the kidney, and 3) favorably improve metabolic risk factors for graft failure such as visceral obesity, glucose intolerance and high blood pressure? The participants (N=330) will be randomized to either dapagliflozin 10 mg or placebo o.d. in a blinded fashion. Researchers will than use kidney transplant biopsies, measured GFR, blood pressure sampling, glucose tolerance test (OGTT), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA scan) and estimated GFR from the two groups in comparison, to evaluate the effect treatment. The participants will be followed for a total of 3 years.
Islet transplantation is associated with a benefit on glycaemic control compared to optimized insulin therapy in recent clinical trials. However, there is a lack of evidence concerning the long-term impact of islet transplantation on type 1 diabetic kidney transplant recipients' prognosis. The objective of the study is to assess the impact of islet transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes and a kidney transplantation on the risk of graft failure. Every type 1 diabetic recipient transplanted with a kidney in France between 2000 and 2017 is included. Patients transplanted with pancreatic islets are compared to controls treated with insulin alone according to a matching method based on time-dependent propensity scores which allow to ensure patients comparability at the time of islet transplantation. Time-dependent propensity scores are built according to variables associated with both the probabilities of being transplanted with islets and the outcome of interest. These variables are assessed by a direct acyclic graph. The primary outcome consists in death-uncensored graft survival, defined by death or return to dialysis. Secondary outcomes include the risk of death, or the risk of death-censored graft survival.
Acute renal failure is a frequent complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality in postoperative cardiac surgery. The VExUS (Venous Excess UltraSound grading system) score was created to qualitatively assess this venous congestion, based on ultrasound data from patients obtained post operatively in cardiac surgery. These data included: inferior vena cava diameter, Doppler flow of the suprahepatic veins, portal trunk and renal veins. This score is predictive of the onset of acute renal failure in the first 3 days after surgery. The VExUS score has not been validated in an external and prospective way in cardiac surgery.
