The Nephrocare mHealth project supports patients with Chronic Kidney Disease with a mobile application and telemonitoring. The application includes the follow-up of blood pressure.
Prospective, single-center study to evaluate the everlinQ endoAVF System when used to create an endoAVF in hemodialysis patients. This study aims to investigate expansion of the percutaneous venous access location to the superficial system which may provide additional procedural benefit.
The study is being conducted to determine if the blood test Brain Natriuretic Protein (BNP) can demonstrate the presence of extra fluid in patients with chronic kidney disease treated by hemodialysis. It will also try to determine the blood test Procalcitonin (PCT) can help identify the cause of the fever, specifically if a fever is caused by a bacterial infection. It will also evaluate whether new blood tests in the future (such as DNA, RNA, metabolite, and protein based tests) can be developed to help predict other complications in patients with chronic kidney disease treated by hemodialysis.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether there are diurnal variations in magnesium and other markers related to mineral metabolism in blood from patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls.
Hypertension is an increasingly common problem in children, especially among those who are obese or with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. This study is a pilot randomized controlled trial designed to test whether improved blood pressure control can be achieved with the use of remote home blood pressure monitoring in children with uncontrolled blood pressure.
In this project the investigators will create computer reminders through user-centered design and will validate the logic using retrospective electronic health record (EHR) data. Then the investigators will test the reminders in primary care clinics to see if they improve treatment of high blood pressure in early chronic kidney disease. Hypothesis: The mean systolic blood pressure of the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population can be decreased by an intervention with three innovative features: 1) methods to synthesize EHR data in order to identify under-diagnosed chronic conditions, 2) iterative improvement in clinical decision support (CDS) content through human factors methods to maximize the "informativeness" of the CDS, and 3) the use of behavioral economic principles to create behavioral "nudges" internal and external to the CDS.
This retrospective single-center analyzes the impact of switch of immunosuppressive regimen on renal function and transplant rejection rate in patients with lung transplant.
The overall goal of this study is to develop and test effectively framed mobile health (mHealth) messages to promote medication adherence in teens with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
This study evaluates how aspirin, clopidogrel and ticagrelor work in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to people with normal kidneys. In the first part of the study, half of CKD participants will be randomly assigned to ticagrelor and aspirin, while the other half will be assigned to clopidogrel and aspirin in a blinded fashion. The treatment duration will be two weeks. After recruiting CKD participants the investigator will recruit controls with normal kidney function that will receive only ticagrelor and aspirin for two weeks.
