Filter by:The Carbostent™ Radix 2 stent is a CE marked balloon expandable bare metal stent for the treatment of renal artery stenosis. The aim of this post-market retrospective study protocol P12204, is to collect clinical data on patients treated with the RADIX 2 stent in routine clinical practice. In order to obtain long-term follow-up data, the data collection will be limited to patients that have been treated with the Radix 2 stent at least 12 months prior to the study start.
- Various neurotransmitters may share in the pathogenesis of hepatic and renal itching. - Skin microbiota may share in the pathogenesis of pruritus.
The circumstances for setting up dialysis in the neonatal period are multiple: congenital anomaly of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), secondary acute renal failure whose etiologies are multiple (sepsis, hypovolemia, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal asphyxia, Arterial or venous renal thrombosis, nephrotoxic drugs, etc.), metabolic diseases (mainly hyperammonemia and leucinosis) and post-operative management of heart disease: analysis of the characteristics of the patients in our study and comparison with existing epidemiological data in the literature. The decision to set up dialysis in a newborn whose recovery of renal function is uncertain or in a context of acute multi-visceral failure is not always obvious and must be discussed carefully. multidisciplinary in connection with neonatologists, resuscitators and nephrologists as well as families with the consideration of the future quality of life of the child.
Sub-optimal transfer of clinical information during inter-hospital transfer (IHT, the transfer of patients between acute care hospitals) is common and can lead to patient harm. To address this problem, the investigators will use key stakeholder input to refine and implement an interoperable health information exchange platform that integrates with the electronic health record and improves the reliability of and access to necessary clinical information in three use cases involving transfer of patients between sending and receiving hospitals with varying levels of affiliation and health record integration. The investigators will assess the effect of this intervention on frequency of medical errors, evaluate the use and usability of this platform from the perspective of those that interact with it, and use these results to develop a dissemination plan to spread implementation and use of this platform across other similar institutions.
Development, feasibility testing and validation of a Survey Set to Measure Patient-Reported Outcomes among Hemodialysis Patients in Turkey: Creating and testing an electronic patient questionnaire that is suitable to measure health-related quality of life in Turkish dialysis patients in clinical as well as in home care settings.
Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease. Alongside limited availability of donors, rejection and premature graft loss are main barriers to kidney transplantation. Donor-specific antibodies pre-transplantation may arise due to to prior solid organ transplantation, pregnancy or blood transfusions. Their presence is considered a risk of graft failure. The impact of DSA is differently reported in literature, also according to the technique by which DSA have been measured. Techniques such as the complement-dependent cytotoxicity crossmatch, the immunofluorescence crossmatch and the Luminex Single Antigen Bead have different sensitivities for detecting DSA. Historically, our kidney transplant program has been advocating living donor transplantation and as a result the majority of transplantations are with a living donor. In this context and in the absence of a compatible living donor, pretransplant DSA have not been considered an absolute contra-indication for transplantation. The aim of the current study is to determine the effect of DSAs on rejection and death-censored graft survival in living donor kidney transplantation. Participants are adults who underwent a living donor kidney transplantation between 2010 and 2019 in the presence of DSA. Control subjects are both immunized and non-immunized kidney transplant recipients in the same period. This is a retrospective, case control study. Death-censored graft survival is analyzed for all patients and compared by presence of DSA and other predicting variables, such as immunization level, age, sex and HLA mismatches. Furthermore, biopsy proven rejection, patient survival, kidney function, length of hospital stay and proteinuria are analyzed. Also, a predefined subgroup analysis is performed in the DSA positive patients. These are compared according to amount, strength and HLA-class of DSAs.
This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and performance of VenoStent's SelfWrap® Bioabsorbable Perivascular Wrap on arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). All participants are chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients already receiving hemodialysis treatments that are referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
Investigators will conduct a pragmatic randomized trial to investigate the non-inferiority of restricted use of invasive arterial lines compared to standard arterial line use.
Retrospective analysis of performance and treatment data collected for Genius SleddFlux Filter, Ultraflux AV 600 S Filter & Genius 90 Concentrates in acute haemodialysis, haemodynamically instable patients and chronic haemodialysis patients - to analyse performance and treatment data from patients treated with the investigational device - to evaluate the filter characteristics for aHD (Acute haemodialysis) patients - to evaluate the improvement of kidney function for aHD patients
The investigators propose to determine the impact of high-protein beverages on protein status and inflammation markers among CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. A 12-week double-blind randomized cross-over trial will be used in which participants (n=22) will consume a 4-ounce high protein supplement with either whey (20 g total protein) or soy (20 g total protein). Outcomes of interest include serum urea nitrogen and inflammation markers (CRP and IL-6). The findings will contribute to the knowledge gap regarding the effect of different protein types in CKD populations which can be translated to the development of affordable supplements to prevent malnutrition in adults with non-communicable diseases.
