Filter by:The goal of this Prospective Observational Study of comparative effectiveness is to provide real world evidence of the effect of Etelcalcetide in increasing actives form VKDPs levels such as BGP and MGP at 3, 9 and 18 months from baseline, with resulting correct bone mineralization and inhibition vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients. The study will enroll 160 hemodialysis patients: 80 patients treated with Etelcalcetide and 80 age and sex matched patients treated with Calcitriol or vitamin D analogs. The treating nephrologist will base the target dose of Etelcalcetide on individual-level in order to achieve the KDIGO PTH target. In the Etelcalcetide-treated group, the addition of calcitriol will be allowed when required by clinical practice (for correction of hypocalcemia). The main endpoint is the comparison of the levels of active forms of VKDP (MGP and BGP) between patients treated with Etelcalcetide and those treated with vitamin D or vitamin D analogues. The measurements of the biomarkers are scheduled at baseline and after 3, 9, and 18 months.
A fundamental strategy to improve adherence to nutritional treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease is the implementation of educational programs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary educational program on dietary adherence, nutritional knowledge, nutritional status, metabolic control and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease, predialysis, peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. A randomized clinical trial will be carried out, in which patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to three possible groups: predialysis educational intervention, dialysis educational intervention and control group. At the initial visit, the nutritional status will be evaluated by means of anthropometric parameters, screening and dynamometry, the biochemical parameters of interest will be extracted from the clinical record, nutritional knowledge and quality of life will be evaluated, and the diet will be explained. In the second visit, adherence to the diet will be evaluated and the food registry will be carried out. In the intervention groups, the educational program will begin with a duration of five months. Patients will come twice a month to the hospital to participate in the educational sessions and attend group psychology sessions. After completion of the educational program, the same measurements as at the beginning of the study will be carried out in the three groups.
Range of motion (ROM) is a term used to describe the amount of motion in each joint in our body. Every joint in the body has a normal range of motion. Maintaining the normal opening of the joints is achieved through movement. ROM exercises reduce contractures and are very important in terms of helping to preserve muscle movements. ROM exercises are an inexpensive method that can be applied in any environment, either as a group or individually, covering all muscle-joint groups. Individuals with disabilities can perform ROM exercises individually or receive support from healthcare professionals. It provides support to venous return by increasing muscle strength in patients who are immobilized for a long time. Based on this information, the aim of our study is to investigate the effect of lower extremity ROM exercises during hemodialysis on hypotension, fatigue and hemodialysis comfort. The patients will be divided into the intervention group (n=32) in which 20 minutes of ROM exercise was applied and the control group (n=32) in which routine nursing care was given. For the sample calculation of the study, G power analysis was performed, type 1 error was 0.05; type 2 error 0.20; With a power of 0.80, a minimum sample size of 64 people for the experimental and control groups. The case group will be given lower extremity ROM exercises for a total of two weeks. Each individual in the case group will have lower extremity ROM exercises, each of which will last 20 minutes, at the beginning of the session and at the beginning of the hour until the end of the session. "Piper's Fatigue Scale" and Hemodialysis Comfort Scale" in the data collection form will be applied again at the end of the 1st and 2nd weeks after the sessions have started. The vital signs of the individual will be followed and recorded at each session.
The goal of this clinical trial is to Improve the quality of life in Hemodialysis patient. The main questions it aims to answer are: - [Improve the self-compliance of dialysis patients with weight management] - [alleviate the volume load of dialysis patients and reduce cardiovascular complications] Participants will be divided into two groups based on a weight management regimen： Control group: received routine outpatient management. Specific methods: The dialysis doctor registered the information of the patient's weight and blood pressure at the end of dialysis, and informed the patient of the purpose, role and importance of weight management. Intervention group: On the basis of routine outpatient management, patients or their family members were subjected to remote follow-up management based on wechat, and the follow-up time was 6 months. Specific methods: Same as the control group, the information of weight and blood pressure of the patients was registered at the end of dialysis, and the purpose, role and importance of weight management were informed to the patients. On this basis, a special wechat signal is set up to add patients or patients' family members as wechat friends and establish a wechat interaction platform with patients. In the interdialysis period, remind patients to weigh themselves through wechat (the time of each weighing is fixed, preferably consistent with the time of weighing in the hemodialysis center), control the weight gain during the interdialysis period not to exceed 4.5% of dry weight, and inform patients again about the purpose, role and importance of weight management.
The goal of this this randomized, clinical trial is to test an automated insulin delivery system (AID) in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who are on hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or have advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main objective is: • To test if the AID is superior in regulating blood sugar levels compared with usual care in patients with advanced renal disease Secondary objectives are: • To evaluate the impact on life quality, incidence of low blood sugar, and if the treatment is feasible in this population Participants will be randomized to receive either eight weeks with the AID System (780G from Medtronic) or eight weeks of Control (usual care) with cross over at the end of the first eight weeks. Researchers will compare blood sugar levels between the AID group and the Control group to determine if the AID system is superior in regulating blood sugar levels.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) for preserving arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients undergoing major lower limb orthopedic surgery.
Objectives: To investigate the role of thromboelastography parameters (R, K, Angle, MA) in monitoring anticoagulation in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Subjects: Two hundred stable MHD patients. Methods: An observational study. Primary outcome: Relationship between thromboelastography parameter R Value and coagulation of hemodialysis circuit and dialyzer. Secondary outcome: Relationship between thromboelastography parameters (K Value, Angle and MA) and coagulation of hemodialysis circuit and dialyzer.
Sleep disorders are important to place among the symptoms frequently seen in hemodialysis patients. Among sleep disorders, restless legs syndrome is the most common. Restless legs syndrome, seen in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment, causes excessive daytime sleepiness and negatively affects the sleep quality of individuals.
The aim of the study is to verify the mediating effect of life of meaning and post-traumatic growth in spirituality and psychological well-being (happiness, depression).
To explore the correlations between spiritual well-being, self compassion, physical symptoms distress and demoralization among hemodialysis patients
