Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of rutin and vitamin C on selected oxidative stress and inflammatory markrers. Patients will be recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be divided into 3 groups, Group 1: Patients will administer a combination of Vitamin C and Rutin (RUTA C 60 tablets) in a dose of 2 tablets 3 times daily for 4 months in addition to their standard therapy, Group 2: will administer vitamin C 500mg hard gelatin capsules (twice daily) in addition to their standard therapy for a period of 4 months, Group3 (Control group) will administer the standard therapy. Blood samples will be withdrawn for measurement of; MDA, TNF-α ,GSH-PX, C-RP levels and ESR.
The end-stage renal disease (ESRD) leading two causes of death are cardiovascular diseases and sepsis. Exercise improves low physical fitness, available research concerning its effect on the pro-/anti-inflammatory immune response is scarce. In the current proposal, physical fitness is classified into cardiopulmonary fitness and muscle fitness. Muscle fitness is further divided into three domains: strength, mass, and oxidative capacity. The 3-year proposal plan to recruit 90 patients with ESRD who receive regular HD for more than 6 months. Every participant will go through 3 phases：control phase、training phase and the maintenance phase (within-subject design). The hypothesis of the proposal is as follows. (I) When cardiopulmonary fitness/muscle fitness drops to a certain level, the inflammatory immune response will rise. The proposal aims to find the best biomarkers and their cut-off points among the various indicators of cardiopulmonary and muscle fitness that reflect immune dysregulation. (II) Other than physical fitness, cyclic aerobic and resistance training improves pro-/anti-inflammatory immune dysregulation. Additionally, three months after cessation of training, a thorough assessment will be performed to examine whether a healthy lifestyle behavior modification has been achieved and whether the beneficial effect of physical fitness and immune regulation induced by the training program is maintained. The goal of each year is as follows. FIRST year: To explore the relationship between cardiopulmonary fitness and pro-/anti-inflammatory immune response in ESRD patients under HD; SECOND year: To explore the relationship between muscle fitness and pro-/anti-inflammatory immune response; THIRD year: To evaluate the effects of cyclic aerobic and resistance training on physical fitness and pro-/anti-inflammatory immunomodulation in ESRD patients under HD.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted in which effect of behavioral intervention (Text message of dietary salt and fluid restriction) on inter-dialytic weight gain in hemodialysis patients. The purpose of this is to evaluate the efficacy of a technology supported intervention for reducing inter-dialytic weight gain and dietary sodium intake in patients undergoing intermittent hemodialysis.
This work aims to study the effect of an acetate-free dialysate on protein-energy wasting syndrome in patients with chronic hemodialysis renal failure, in comparison to a conventional dialysate with acetate. The hypothesis is that a dialysate without acetate would improve patients nutritional status
There is wide evidence regarding the weak points of end-stage Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in hemodialysis, and they include three intervention aspects: exercise, nutrition and psychological support. Evidence shows that exercise for patients in hemodialysis results in increased survival rate, functional capacity, strength and health-related quality of life. Additionally, different studies have shown the benefits of psychological interventions and the positive effect of educational programs on nutritional care for patients in hemodialysis. Despite the well-known benefits of exercise, this kind of programs are not being implemented in the routine clinical care of hemodialysis patients. Thus, the GoodRENal project aims to promote healthy lifestyles among dialysis patients in a holistic approach that combines exercise, nutrition and psychological wellbeing plus cognitive functioning addressing adult learners. The project will, in phase 1, explore barriers and facilitators of patients, carers and health professionals towards healthy lifestyle (physical activity, nutrition and psychological well being). In phase 2, the project will develop a health virtual platform including these three dimensions of cares. In summary, the project outputs will be: 1. A didactic content in a modular platform to create an educational program for integrated treatments in patients with dialysis 2. A guideline to promote healthy lifestyles among dialysis patients for health care providers 3. A guideline to promote e healthy lifestyles among dialysis patients for patients and formal - nonformal carers
The aim of this study is to quantify the B2-microglobulin reduction rate based on the type of extracorporeal therapy (ET) used: HDx (expanded hemodialysis), HDc (high-flux conventional hemodialysis), or HDF (hemodiafiltration). And to compare the magnitude of the B2-microglobulin reduction rate based on the type of extracorporeal therapy (ET) used: HDx, HDc, or HDF
Hemodialysis patients often experience barriers and misperceptions that hinder adjustment to life on dialysis. This study seeks to explore a group-based intervention (titled HED-Start) developed to improve self-care and emotional wellbeing among incident hemodialysis patients.
The investigators would like to introduce and clinically evaluate prolonged normothermic machine perfusion (PNMP) to preserve and assess high-risk donor kidneys prior to transplantation.
The CSP-2002 study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the InnAVasc arteriovenous graft (AVG) when implanted in and used for hemodialysis in participants suffering from end-stage renal failure (ESRD). The InnAVasc AVG is implanted and used similar to other standard-of-care dialysis grafts currently on the market. However, the InnAVasc AVG has been uniquely designed to potentially allow for immediate needle access (same day as implant surgery as opposed to 2-4 weeks of waiting), to potentially reduce excessive bleeding from the graft after dialysis, and it may provide protection from improper or missed needle cannulation attempts.
