Filter by:The objectives of this trial are to determine whether, in critically ill ESKD patients randomization to fluid removal guided by lung and inferior vena cava ultrasound, compared to standard care, leads to Improved pulmonary congestion (primary outcome); and safety (secondary outcome) in the short-term.
Hemodialysis (HD) is the main renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, factors such as hemodynamic instability can lead to gradual loss of residual renal function (RRF) in HD patients. The loss of RRF not only affects the adequacy of dialysis and complications control but also impacts the patients' quality of life and survival. Unfortunately, there are currently no effective methods to protect RRF. The purpose of this study is to validate the protective effect of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) on RRF in HD patients. This will provide evidence for the application of RIC in protecting RRF in HD patients.
Hemodialysis (HD) is the main renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), accounting for approximately 69% of all renal replacement therapies and 89% of all dialysis. However, factors such as unstable hemodynamics have led to the gradual loss of residual renal function (RRF) in HD patients, which not only affects the adequacy of dialysis and complications control but also impacts their quality of life and survival. Unfortunately, until now, there have been no effective methods for early diagnosis and prediction of residual renal injury, and by the time it was discovered, the opportunity for effective treatment had been missed. The purpose of this study is to validate the value of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the early diagnosis and prediction of residual renal injury. This will provide a basis for the application of NIRS in the early monitoring of residual renal injury in HD patients and offer a new method and perspective for the early diagnosis of residual renal injury in HD patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to increase shared decision-making between dialysis providers and patients in order to increase patients' probability of transplantation and to reduce socioeconomic/racial disparities in access to kidney transplantation. Participants will receive educational material over the course of 4-6 months about different aspects of the kidney transplant and waitlisting process.
This long-term follow-up study is being conducted to collect long-term (up to 15 years post-infusion) safety and tolerability data from subjects enrolled in studies evaluating TX200-TR101.
Haemodialysis (HD) is the most commonly used method among renal replacement therapy options in patients with End Stage Renal Failure. Although one of the most important factors affecting the success of this treatment is compliance with fluid restriction, the rates of non-compliance with fluid control vary between 10-74%. It is understood from the literature that fluid restriction is one of the most difficult areas in compliance with HD treatment. Interdialytic weight gain is the most widely accepted method to assess compliance with fluid control by measuring the amount of fluid accumulated in the body. Thus, studies on this subject have shown that excessive interdialytic weight gain is a common problem in HD patients. It is known that excessive interdialytic weight gain increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in HD patients. The main factors causing interdialytic weight gain are fluid and salt intake between two HD sessions is appears to be. Therefore, it is stated that the easiest solution to control excessive interdialytic weight gain is to reduce fluid and salt intake. However, studies have reported that HD patients have difficulty in adapting to a salt-restricted diet, and in this case, they increase their fluid consumption. Therefore, it is of vital importance that public health nurses carry out interventions to ensure HD patients' compliance with fluid and salt control. In the literature review conducted with this perspective, studies were encountered in which results were obtained that m-health interventions provided a decrease in interdialytic weight gain averages and sodium intake. In this direction, a HafifMod programme based on the use of mobile health technologies was created. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the LightMod programme for fluid and salt control guided by the Health Belief Model on interdialytic weight gain in routine haemodialysis patients.
The goal of this retrospective chart review is to obtain clinical safety and performance data for the GamCath HighFlow Dolphin Protect Catheter in patients with acute kidney injury, acute renal failure, or chronic kidney disease. The main questions to answer are: 1. Duration of catheter use (survival) 2. Reason(s) for catheter removal
The Carry Life UF system performs peritoneal ultrafiltration by adding glucose to the low glucose strength (1.36%) peritoneal dialysis fluid which has been instilled into the peritoneal cavity prior to the connection of the device. By maintaining a stable glucose concentration in the intraperitoneal fluid during the 5-hour treatment, the ultrafiltration can be increased compared to a standard CAPD dwell.
Hemodialysis patients are required to adhere to diet and fluid restriction. The literature shows that hemodialysis patients have low adherence to diet and fluid restriction. Failure to adhere to fluid control increases weight gain between two dialysis sessions. Increased weight gain between two dialysis sessions can lead to signs and symptoms, such as heart failure, hypertension, edema and dyspnea. Ultrafiltration is increased during dialysis to remove excess fluid from the body between two dialysis sessions. As a result, this leads to large changes in the patient's weight during dialysis sessions, leading to hemodialysis complications such as hypotension and muscle cramps. Diet is important to prevent uremic complication for hemodialysis patient. Diet restriction purposes to minimize uremic symptoms and fluid- electrolyte imbalance. As increase failure to adhere diet, serum phosphorus serum potassium rise and weight gain between two dialysis sessions increases. As a result, problems with the cardiac system, respiratory system and bones are experienced. Diet and fluid restriction helps to prevent complications, to increase the quality of life and to reduce mortality. Therefore, diet and fluid control vitally important for hemodialysis patients. Nurses have an important place in providing diet and fluid management. Desired success can be achieved in fluid and diet control by giving planned trainings to patients by nurses. In patient education, the Health Belief Model is used as an effective guide, which explains the reason for the person's attitudes and behaviors. This model is based on explain why did the patient not adhere with the treatment and what motivates the patient. The model is based on the premise that they will change their behavior when people understand the severity of the illness. The Health Belief Model can used education on diet and fluid contol of hemodialysis patients. In this study, Health Belief Model components will be used as a guide in the preparation of the educational content to be given to hemodialysis patients. With this study planned to be done; it was aimed to determine the effect of Health Belief Model-based education on diet and fluid control of hemodialysis patients. The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial.
End stage renal disease is annually diagnosed in about one thousand patients in Denmark, and one of the treatment modalities in renal replacement therapy is peritoneal dialysis with about 25 % of patients assigned to this treatment (Hommel2010). Peritoneal dialysis is based on the principle of filtering waste products to peritoneal fluid and by exchange of peritoneal fluid eliminate waste products from the body. In peritoneal dialysis commonly used fluids contain glucose. Exposure to high glucose levels in peritoneal fluid during peritoneal dialysis has several side effects. Primarily, as glucose passes over and into the peritoneal membrane it causes local inflammation which leads to fibrosis over time (Zhou2016). Fibrosis limits the capacity of the exchange of water and waste products over the peritoneal membrane. The decrease of peritoneal exchange capacity is most commonly the reason for termination of peritoneal dialysis. SGLT2-channels are identified in peritoneal mesothelial cells of rats (Debray-Carcia 2016), and most recently also in humans (Shentu2021). An in vitro model of human peritoneal mesothelial cells incubated with the SGLT2-inhibitor (empagliflozin) has shown significantly decrease in glucose uptake (Zhou2019). Exposure to intraperitoneal empagliflozin in rats, reduced the uptake of glucose over the peritoneal membrane significantly by 78 % and the ultrafiltration was increased (Zhou2019). Currently, to our knowledge, no clinical trials have been conducted in humans attending peritoneal dialysis with the aim of investigating either the effect or safety of SGLT2i, as it is indeed the first of its kind, with the aim of including participants in peritoneal dialysis.
