Filter by:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem and affects about 10% of the world's adult population with a constantly increasing incidence. The approach to CKD in France is centered on access to replacement therapy (dialysis, renal transplantation), the cost of which amounts to 4 billion euros (data from the REIN registry). Real-life data are essential to specify the characteristics of patients with chronic kidney disease and the factors associated with the evolution of CKD and the occurrence of complications in order to improve the management of CKD before the suppletion stage. Since October 2019, CKD at the severe stage (stage 4) and at the non-dialysis end stage (stage 5) is subject to an annual flat fee (Article L. 162-22-6-2 of the Social Security Code). The reimbursement of these lump sums by the health insurance is subject to the collection and transmission of certain medical data by the establishments.
One of the most common problems in people with diabetes (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the high frequency of other coinciding medical conditions such as osteoporosis and frailty. Frailty in particular is very common in adults with DM and CKD and it can result in significant muscle weakness which can result in increasing difficulties with performing activities of daily life (ADL). This can lead to an increase risk for falls, bone fractures and increasing hospitalization. The investigators have showed that adults with DM and CKD who have frailty use hospital services more frequently, have reduced quality of life and difficulties with performing their ADLs1. There is some evidence that early screening for frailty and lifestyle interventions that focus on healthier eating and physical activity can help prevent frailty from getting worse. The study purpose is to develop and test a home-based lifestyle intervention program focused on optimizing diet and the ability to perform your ADLs in adults with DM and CKD. The goal of this program is to ensure that adults with DM can live healthier lives within the community.
The study seeks to determine if patients with a pre-existing, well-functioning kidney transplant from a HLA-identical living donor can be withdrawn from immunosuppressive medications without compromising allograft function through hematopoietic stem cell (HPSC) infusion from the same donor. HPSC infusion will be preceded by a conditioning regimen of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG).
A Phase 4, 52 week, single arm, multicentre post marketing surveillance to evaluate the safety of Desidustat for the treatment of anemia in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
The chronic kidney disease is caused by renal structural and functional impairment for more than 3 months due to various causes, including normal and abnormal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), abnormal blood, urine, and imaging findings, or an unexplained decline in GFR (<60 ml/min). Recent years, the incidence of chronic kidney disease has increased year by year worldwide, the incidence of CKD is 8% to 16% in the world's total population. chronic kidney disease has become an important public health problem in China and even the world. Summarizing the basic and clinical studies at home and abroad, inflammatory factors such as inflammatory chemokines, cytokines, and reactive oxygen species interact with fibrosis factors such as mesangial cells, fibroblasts, and fibroblast activation, which are the root causes of the progression of CKD and the formation of tubular interstitial fibrosis and glomerular sclerosis and developing into end-stage renal disease. Current treatments for chronic kidney disease are very limited, and to be precise, there is currently no cure for chronic kidney disease, nor is there a proven way to improve the kidneys survive after acute kidney injury (AKI). The progression of the disease itself can only be delayed as much as possible by changing the diet, controlling related complications with oral medications (such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, nephropathy, etc.), and actively controlling blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in patients with diabetes. For patients with stage CKD5 and more severe, renal replacement therapy is recommended, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, but there are many complications in both dialysis methods, such as narrowing of the internal fistula, occlusion, catheter infection, peritonitis, etc. Kidney transplantation may be considered when economic conditions permit and there is a matching kidney source, but kidney transplant surgery is riskier. The above treatment methods have brought a heavy burden to patients and social medicine. In order to seek innovative and effective strategies to cultivate the limited regenerative capacity of the kidneys and reverse renal fibrosis, the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with tissue regenerative potential and immunomodulatory functions have brought new ideas and hopes for the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease.
This is a pilot intervention study to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored anti-inflammatory diet intervention in participants with chronic kidney disease.
The information learned in these studies will help to inform doctors as to how to appropriately adjust doses of cannabidiol and tacrolimus in order to improve health outcomes and long-term treatment success for transplant recipients.
The KDOQI 2020 - Clinical practice guideline for nutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) -recommends protein restriction to reduce the risk of end-stage renal disease/death and improve quality of life, a low protein diet providing 0.55-0.60g dietary protein/ kg body weight/day is recommended. FLAVIS® is a product line of hypoprotein foods specially developed for the treatment of CKD.The use of low-protein foods may facilitate the achievement of nutritional goals in terms of protein intake and help patients to follow a low-protein diet.
When patients progress to the final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and require hemodialysis treatment, they typically have lost so much muscle function that they are no longer physically independent. However, due to disease- and hemodialysis-related muscle catabolism, dietary protein and exercise interventions are only capable to attenuate the decline in physical function of patients on hemodialysis treatment. Therefore, lifestyle interventions to increase muscle function should be implemented before hemodialysis is required. However, it is still a matter of debate whether muscle protein synthesis rates of patients with advanced CKD can be increased with a patient-tailored dietary protein and exercise intervention.Therefore, the current study will assess MPS rates during habitual lifestyle and during an interventional program including dietary protein and exercise in patients with advanced CKD. In addition, we will compare MPS rates during free-living conditions between patients with advanced CKD and healthy controls.
With the development of China's economy, people's living standard have improved, and the dietary structure have changed. Metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia and obesity have gradually become an important health burden in China. The pathophysiological mechanism of renal injury caused by metabolic diseases has always been a hotspot of research. Currently, it is believed that various mechanisms including the activation of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, vascular endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammatory process may be involved. Although there are differences in renal pathological manifestations caused by different metabolic diseases, the kidney will eventually present ischemic changes and fibrosis with the progression of the disease. So there must be some common pathogenesis. This study is designed to build a disease cohort of patients with chronic kidney disease caused by metabolic diseases, to identify risk factors leading to disease progression and to explore biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of kidney damage.
