Filter by:To evaluate a scalable population health strategy to 1) screen, 2) identify, and 3) intervene with individuals at high risk of CKD progression to ESRD that could be implemented in other high risk communities and health care systems. This novel study will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of providing F&V to individuals identified at high risk study for CKD and ESRD through community health screenings. Further, it will evaluate whether providing education as to how to prepare F&V for consumption, the latter being done for all F&V recipients in PI's preliminary published studies but its efficacy was not specifically tested, increases F&V intake and thereby reduces CKD progression risk as well as related clinical outcomes.
To report the outcomes of patients having percutaneous proximal radial artery fistula creation.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a well-established treatment for renal failure including long-term management of end stage renal disease (ESRD) by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). Complementary therapies offer longer term survival for patients with ESRD. However, none of them are devoid of side effects and today their limitations are better understood by the nephrologist. The AMIA APD Solution Generation System combines an updated AMIA APD Cycler with Sharesource Platform (previously cleared) with an in-home water system technology and leverages newly developed AMIA APD Concentrates. The AMIA APD Concentrates, after dilution by the AMIA APD Solution Generation System, are indicated for adult patients in acute or chronic renal failure when non-dialytic medical therapy is judged to be inadequate.
The DISCO-RLS Trial is a randomized controlled trial to determine the safety and efficacy of pharmacologic therapy (ropinirole versus placebo and gabapentin versus placebo) for the treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome in patients with End Stage Renal Disease requiring hemodialysis.
This study utilizes a web-based application to help patients on the organ transplant waitlist communicate patient's need for a living donor via social media and provide interested potential donors the opportunity to engage with the evaluation process.
This is a single-center, prospective, dose-escalation, pilot study in 15 end-stage renal disease patients on chronic hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Thrice-weekly dialysis is the accepted standard of care for hemodialysis (HD) patients. Observational studies suggest that elderly HD patients do as well and have better quality of life with less dialysis (ie twice-weekly). We propose a single-center pilot study of 40 patients to determine the feasibility of a large randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to determine the impact of HD frequency on well-being in new HD patients above the age of 70. The primary outcomes will be metrics of feasibility and safety. We hypothesize that an adequately powered RCT that will determine whether elderly patients who dialyze twice weekly have improved well-being compared to thrice-weekly is feasible
The purpose of this study is to determine whether once-daily dosing of patiromer will reduce the frequency of hyperkalemic episodes in ESRD (end stage renal disease) study participants who receive conventional hemodialysis (HD). The study objective is to determine if patiromer administered orally once a day with breakfast or lunch will reduce episodes of hyperkalemia in ESRD study participants who receive thrice-weekly HD.
CKD is defined as kidney damage for ≥3 months, as defined by structural and or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased GFR or GFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2 for ≥3 months, with or without kidney damage. CKD is classified based on cause, GFR category, and albuminuria category (CGA). ESRD has become a public health problem worldwide, with recent reports showing that the total number of ESRD patients has been growing dramatically.
Shortness of breath is very common among patients on dialysis for kidney failure; however, its causes are often not understood. This study will explore the lungs and the heart of these patients to determine the causes of shortness of breath. The amount of salt in the body tissues, which tends to accumulate in dialysis patients and can also cause shortness of breath, will also be measured. Machines that exploit magnetic resonance, ultrasound and x-rays to take images of the body interior will be employed; in addition, breathing tests, questionnaires and blood tests will also be used. 20 patients on dialysis will be recruited and have two visits: one at the beginning of the study and one year later to observe any changes in the lungs, heart and salt accumulation over time.
