Filter by:Hispanic/Latino patients with end-stage renal disease are disproportionately less likely to get a kidney transplant, and specifically, a living donor kidney transplant (LDKT), compared to non-Hispanic whites. Accordingly, without LDKTs, Hispanics experience longer transplant waiting times, shorter patient and graft survival, and worse quality of life. Cultural beliefs and linguistic barriers contribute to the disparity in LDKTs. The objective of the proposed study is to implement and evaluate Northwestern Medicine's® Hispanic Kidney Transplant Program, a culturally-competent transplant center-based intervention, at two transplant centers serving large Hispanic populations. The proposed study will provide valuable knowledge about the potential to rapidly disseminate the HKTP as a novel approach to increase Hispanic LDKTs nationally.
Background: Coagulopathy in chronic kidney disease is multifactorial. Both hypocoagulopathy and hypercoaguability are seen. Conventional tests of coagulation (CCTs) end at the formation of thrombin, and do not take into account the interaction of coagulation factors, platelets, RBC etc. By overcoming the above deficiencies, thromboelastography provides a holistic picture of blood coagulation. The present study evaluated the TEG profile of ESRD patients and compared it to CCTs and to controls. Methods: 50 ESRD patients and 50 controls were recruited for the study. Venous samples were withdrawn and platelet count, INR and fibrinogen levels were measured. Simultaneously a Thromboelastography was performed. All samples were drawn prior to initiation of dialysis.
This study examines whether medium-cut off dialysis results in improved blood purification of large middle molecules e.g. inflammatory molecules compared to hemodialysis (HD) treatments with conventional high-flux dialyzers.
The Prebiotics in Peritoneal Dialysis trial is a non-randomized, open-label, crossover study of p-inulin for patients with end-stage renal disease treated with peritoneal dialysis.
Prospective multicenter randomized cross-over study Number of patients : 32 (8 patients per group) Obtain objectives data to advise each hemodialyzer according to dialysis treatment and patient profile. To evaluate the different hemodialyzers and judge their extraction performances in HD and post HDF. Evaluation of the biocompatibility of the hemodialyzers and the patients' inflammatory status.
Incidence of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) amongst elderly patient group is continuously increasing with population aging progressing. Mineral and bone disorder (MBD) is a common complication caused by ESRD, it raises the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in hemodialysis patients, as well as mortality. Joint effects of Kidney failure and aging on elderly hemodialysis patients make the contribution factors of CKD-MBD quite complex, and it also leads to differences in clinic manifestation between elderly hemodialysis patients and non-elderly hemodialysis patients. Since not much studies had been done for this specific subject, thus, research on elderly patients who is taking Maintenance hemodialysis is very necessary. This study is a retrospective research to identify optimized target value of Calcium and Phosphorus for elderly patients taking maintenance hemodialysis and hence provide guidance for clinical practices. The data for this study will be provided by Beijing Blood Purification Quality Control and Improvement Center. Clinical files and Calcium and Phosphorus metabolic indices will be collected amongst elderly patients who were elder than 65 years and was taking maintenance hemodialysis between Jan 1st, 2012 through Dec 31st, 2016. Relationship between Calcium level, Phosphorus level, iPTH index, all-cause mortality and CVD caused mortality will be analyzed to identify optimized range of target Calcium levels, Phosphorus level for hemodialysis treatment
The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of the Theranova 400 dialyzer compared with Elisio-17 H dialyzer in end stage renal disease patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Efficacy will be determined by the removal of middle molecules (with different molecular size) from the blood compartment. Safety will be evaluated by maintaining pre-dialysis serum albumin levels and other safety events including laboratory tests and adverse events. Patients will undergo 3 dialysis sessions per week, for 24 weeks.
To assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of Nephoxil® for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with ESRD undergoing dialysis.
Online hemodiafiltration confers a reduced mortality risk. However, it is not clear why HDF improved survival. To gain more insight in this issue, the effect of 4 dialysis techniques (differing in dialysate temperature and the absence/presence of convective clearance) on intradialytic hemodynamic stability and cardiac function will be investigated in a prospective cross over trial.
This is a prospective single arm study enrolling patients who are scheduled for creation of a new Brachiocephalic or Radiocephalic AV fistula. Up to 80 patients will be enrolled, 50 with upper arm AV fistula and 30 with forearm AV fistula. All patients will be implanted with the VasQ device, a subcutaneous arteriovenous conduit support for vascular access. The follow up period in this study will be for a duration of 12 months, with follow up visits scheduled at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
