Filter by:Many transplant recipients may experience physical and emotional symptoms, such as anxiety, fatigue, sleep problems, pain, etc. Often, these symptoms are not reported or managed well, and can affect a patient's quality-of-life. Transplant recipients are grateful for the "gift of life" but physical and emotional symptoms reduce their quality-of-life. Transplant recipients and caregivers have felt unprepared for the ongoing symptoms and reduced quality-of-life post-transplant. One way of monitoring and managing these symptoms is using the Emotion And Symptom-focused Engagement (EASE) intervention. EASE was originally developed for patients with acute leukemia and has begun to be adapted to help monitor and manage physical and emotional symptoms for organ transplant recipients. EASE is comprised of two components: 1. Psychological - 8 supportive counselling sessions delivered by mental health clinicians to address concerns about mental health, losses from organ failure, coping with a transplant, experiences with living on the brink of death for a prolonged period of time, etc. 2. Physical - Regular assessments of physical symptoms using questionnaires and referral to healthcare professionals for symptom management as necessary. EASE uses questionnaires, also called patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), for symptom assessment and monitoring. PROMs measure symptom severity, similarly to how bloodwork measures organ functioning. PROMs, as part of EASE, will ask recipients questions and help identify relevant physical, emotional, and social symptoms to enhance their care. With the help of specialists, patients, and support from the Kidney Foundation of Canada, our team has begun to adapt the EASE intervention for transplant recipients. In order to finalize the adaptation of the EASE intervention for use in a routine transplant clinic, we are launching a pre-pilot study to gain real-life experience from managing symptoms of SOT recipients with the use of EASE-SOT.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Hemay005 tablets in subjects with mild to moderate renal impairment and normal renal function, and to provide a basis for the formulation of clinical medication regimens for patients with renal impairment.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the quality of life change in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to end-stage renal failure.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and CRP-lowering effect of quarterly and monthly subcutaneous administration of TOUR006 in participants with chronic kidney disease and elevated hs-CRP.
This study is open to adults aged between 18 and 80 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) of 20 to 40 kg/m2. People with or without kidney problems can take part in the study. The purpose of this study is to find out how much of a medicine called BI 456906 gets into the blood of people with and without kidney problems. BI 456906 is being developed to treat people with obesity and liver problems. People living with these conditions often also have kidney problems. Therefore, it is important to find out whether kidney problems influence the amount of BI 456906 that gets into the blood. Study participants receive a single dose of BI 456906 as an injection under the skin. Participants are divided into 4 groups based on how well their kidneys work: 1 group without kidney problems, and 3 groups with mild, moderate, and severe kidney problems. Each participant without kidney problems is matched with participants from the other groups based on factors such as age, gender, race, and body mass index (BMI) to ensure accurate comparisons. Participants are in the study for about 2 months. They stay for 5 days and 4 nights at the study site and visit their doctors about 7 times. During these visits, the doctors collect information about participants' health. To assess the study endpoints, the doctors regularly take blood samples from the participants. The participants also answer questions about their well-being. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
The aim of this study was to identify and validate novel biomarkers for predict acute kidney injury (AKI) subphenotype, major adverse kidney events and other poor outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare protein supplements in patients with kidney failure on dialysis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To determine whether the supplementation of egg white protein pudding in a population of individuals with kidney failure on dialysis is feasible. - To determine whether egg white protein pudding supplementation improves serum albumin similar to other standard nutritional supplements. - To determine the effects of the egg white protein pudding on frailty measures, dietary intakes and analytes in the blood and urine. Participants will receive either the egg white pudding (experimental) or control (Ensure plus) at the end of their dialysis treatments 3-days per week for 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the drug levels of mezigdomide in participants with renal impairment.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of moderate and severe renal impairment (RI) on the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of MK-8527. There will be no hypothesis testing in the study.
This is a pragmatic, two-arm, parallel-group, open-label, individual-randomized, superiority trial that will be conducted in hemodialysis units across Ontario. Patients at each dialysis unit will be randomly allocated into one of two study arms in a 1:1 ratio to receive a dialysate bicarbonate concentration of either 32 or 38 mmol/L. The intervention will be embedded into routine care and delivered by hemodialysis unit personnel.
