Managing patients with renal failure requires an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that lead to its occurrence (i.e. upstream of the disease), its worsening and its persistence (i.e. downstream), while also specifying the risk of worsening renal failure (risk stratification, intolerance to the treatment or complications (infectious, metabolic, cardiovascular, cancer…). Nephrogene 2.0 aims to study these different components of kidney, immune and solid organ transplantation (SOT)-related diseases.
Prospective randomized contorl study.Comparing clinical outcome between chronic kidney disease who were prescribed 6% low-protein nutrition supplement along with dietatian regular nutrition education and those without oral nutrition supplement.
As part of National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program, the goal of the RADxUP study is to develop, test, and evaluate a rapid, scalable capacity building project to enhance COVID-19 testing in three regional community health centers (CHCs) in San Diego County, California. In collaboration with CHC partners, their consortium organization, Health Quality Partners (HQP), investigators are pursuing the following Specific Aims: 1) Compare the effectiveness of automated calls vs text messaging for uptake of COVID-19 testing among asymptomatic adult patients with select medical conditions and those 65 years of age and older receiving care at participating CHCs. Secondarily, investigators will invite all study participants to receive flu vaccination and will assess feasibility and acceptability of study participants to refer adult family household members who are essential workers for COVID-19 testing. 2) Gather patient, provider, CHC leadership, and community stakeholder insights to establish best practices for future scale-up of COVID-19 testing sustainability and vaccination.
There is currently no way to predict the progression of chronic kidney disease in patients with metabolic disease(s). Furthermore, the mechanisms responsible for the development and/or progression of complications remain largely unknown. In order to identify the predictive factors and/or mechanisms involved in the different complications of these diseases, we propose an approach coupling : - a classical phenotypic characterization (clinical, biological, imaging) of the patients - high-throughput screening of the genome, transcriptome, metabolome, proteome, and immunophenotyping. According to our hypothesis, this approach should allow : - Early detection of complications - Classification of patients in homogeneous groups of patients with identical evolution - Identification of the molecular mechanisms involved.
To capture safety when Forxige is administrated to CKD patients in the real world setting
The objective is to study in a prospective, interventional, single arm, cohort study the potential synergistic diuretic effect of empagliflozin, in addition to furosemide, in hypervolemic patients admitted with acutely decompensated heart failure and diuretic resistance at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). The investigators hypothesize that the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor empagliflozin will enhance the diuretic effect of furosemide in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease, and underlying diuretic resistance, as identified by the three-hour urine output post diuretic administration on the first day of the study, compared with furosemide alone.
Our study is planning to evaluate patients with chronic kidney disease who come to the emergency department with chest pain. Estimated GFR (cisGFR) with cystatin and estimated GFR (creaGFR) with creatinine will be calculated. Symptoms, ECG and troponin values of patients will be evaluated for diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome
This prospective observational research will be conducted to assess the burden of hyperkalemia including treatment and disease burden of patients in a long-term continuous care from various aspects including adherence to the medication for hyperkalemia and HR-QoLs.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health threat associated with significant morbidity, high mortality, and reduced quality of life. However, empirical evidence is limited on strategies to enhance the effectiveness of care for CKD. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of multicomponent primary care strategies in preserving kidney function among patients with CKD at primary care clinics in Singapore. Methods: A pragmatic, randomized controlled trial, in 4 socioeconomically diverse primary care clinics (polyclinics) in Singapore over 3 years. A total of 896 participants with CKD Stage 3 or worse aged ≥40 and <80 years will be enrolled, with 224 from each polyclinic. Participants enrolled in each polyclinic will be randomly allocated to the intervention or usual care group in a 1:1 ratio. Intervention includes four components 1) training nurses as health coaches for motivational conversation and CKD specific lifestyle counseling on diet and exercise, using hybrid follow-up approach of in-person, telephone, and secure WhatsApp video meetings; 2)Training physicians in algorithm-based standardized management of CKD and hybrid care delivery;3) subsidy on sodium-glucose transport protein-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) for CKD; and 4) regular CKD case review meetings. Patients in the usual care arm will be treated by physicians and nurses who and are not trained in SKOPE treatment algorithms. Study outcomes: The primary outcome will be the eGFR total slope from randomization to final follow-up at 36 months. secondary effectiveness outcomes will be 1) Change in CVD risk score as measured by The Million Hearts Longitudinal ASCVD Risk Assessment score 2) Change in CKD quality of life measured by KDQOL-36TM
