Filter by:Aims and objectives. To examine and compare the effects of hot and cold compresses administration on muscle cramps, fatigue, and comfort in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Background. Muscle cramps and fatigue are common complications in HD patients and reduce patient comfort. Among the nursing interventions stated for the management of these complications in the literature, hot and cold therapy are remarkable. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first research up to date that examined and compared the effects of hot and cold compress administrations on abovementioned complications in HD. Design. This placebo-controlled randomized trial was conducted in two hemodialysis centers between February and October 2020. Methods. The study sample consisted of 69 patients, stratified and randomly allocated to two intervention groups and placebo group. For patients of each group, the implementation of the study continued for four weeks, 12 HD sessions.
This study is to prospectively compare the effectiveness and safety of the two types of arteriovenous access placement (fistula or graft) in older adults with end stage kidney disease and multiple chronic conditions
The study is a case-control study with the primary aim of objectifying the volume status of patients receiving hemodialysis. Volume status will be assessed at dry weight and evaluated by a carbon monoxide rebreathing method, that measures blood volume, and bioimpedance that measures total body water. Case-control subjects will be matched on gender, age and weight. Secondary aims are to evaluate the carbon monoxide rebreathing method. Blood volumes obtained by the carbon monoxide rebreathing method will be correlated to blood volumes obtained by radioactive labelling of erythrocytes and albumin. In addition, it will be investigated whether hemoglobin is a valid marker of anemia in patients receiving hemodialysis by measuring the erythrocyte volume and the hemoglobin mass by the carbon monoxide rebreathing method and correlating this to the hemoglobin concentration measured before and after dialysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether tyrosine kinase receptor Axl affects the dialysis prognosis in chronic hemodialysis patients
Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), especially after having maintenance dialysis are among the highest risk of heart failure (HF), which is the most important cause that affects survival rate and quality of life. Sacubitril/Valsartan is recommended as a first-line option for treating symptomatic chronic heart failure, especially HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Sacubitril/Valsartan was reported the different effectiveness in HFrEF and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and the clinical trials' results are controversial in HFpEF patients. So far, there have been seven clinical trials (or subgroups of trials) that used sacubitril/valsartan in heart failure patients with chronic kidney disease, only one retrospective study to evaluate the improvement of cardiovascular biomarkers and LVEF in hemodialysis patients who have HFrEF. In addition, there is no article predicting the outcomes of Sacubitril/Valsartan, the inclusion criteria of LVEF value are not consistent. Investigators will perform a prospective, cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sacubitril/Valsartan on Cardiovascular Events Outcome in Maintenance hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients with Heart Failure, and use secondary analysis to find out the range of baseline LVEF Value to predict the therapeutic effects.
The primary objective of the study is the development of a mathematical model for predicting potassium kinetics during and after the dialytic session. The secondary objectives of the study are: 1. the definition of a correlation between the kinetics of intra and extra-cellular concentrations of potassium during and after the dialytic session and the onset of arrhythmias; 2. the use of the mathematical model to modify the blood concentration of potassium by acting on the composition of the dialysis bath in order to minimize the risk of onset of arrhythmias during and after dialysis.
Xerostomia is a subjective complaint of dry mouth, whereas hyposalivation is an objective decreased of salivary flow. Hyposalivation was reported in 28.8 % of haemodialysis (HD) patients (Bruzda-Zwiech, 2014).
The primary goal of the study is to evaluate in patients on three times a week on-line HDF the efficacy, in terms of toxin removal and modulation of the inflammatory state, of two different dialyzers: Helixone versus Asimmetric cellulose triacetate (ATA).
This study is aim to compare the efficacy of intravenous versus oral iron therapy regarding the hemoglobin levels, iron status and erythropoietin dosage in maintenance hemodialysis patients
Sacubitril/valsartan reduces the risk of cardiovascular mortality among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and has been recently indicated as a new treatment option with a strong level of recommendation (class I, level of evidence B) in the main international guidelines. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Hence, treatments to improve mortality and specifically cardiovascular outcomes in this population are greatly needed. So far, no data available about the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis, although this medication was noted to be effective and comparably well tolerable in those with estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) 20 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the United Kingdom Heart and Renal Protection-III trial. The purpose of this open label, randomized controlled study with prospective data collection is to assess the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan in maintenance hemodialysis patients with heart failure.
