Filter by:This research will be conducted to evaluate the effects of audio book application on anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
Persons with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have very low physical activity, and among ESKD patients, the level of inactivity is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a 12-week intervention coupling use of wearable pedometers (FitBit ®) and feedback coaching to increase physical activity in hemodialysis patients.
To avoid clotting during extracorporeal treatment, an anticoagulant is added to the circuit, resulting in an increased risk for bleeding complications. In addition, there is evidence that a substantial number of fibers can become blocked before this is reflected in routinely observed parameters, or in termination of the dialysis session. In standard hemodialysis of 4 hours, the anticoagulant is administered at the beginning of dialysis. For nocturnal hemodialysis, there is no hard evidence whether anticoagulation should be administered only at the dialysis start or with an extra dosing halfway the dialysis session. The aim of this randomized cross-over study is to objectively quantify the number of patent fibers after nocturnal dialysis in two different settings: anticoagulation only at the dialysis start, and anticoagulation divided over two time points, i.e. dialysis start and halfway dialysis.
The study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of the training provided to hemodialysis patients according to Roy Adaptation Model on fluid management, symptom control, and quality of life. The study was carried out as a randomized controlled trial with the participation of 107 patients (53 experimental, 54 control) The patients in the experimental group were provided with training based on Roy Adaptation Model, and training booklets were handed out.The control group did not attempt any intervention.
All chronic kidney disease patients, whether on regular hemodialysis or not, are at high risk of cardiovascular diseases. This is mainly due to increased oxidative stress, reduced antioxidants and generalized inflammation. Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like antioxidant synthesized in almost all body cells, and it is also available in many dietary sources. It was observed that chronic kidney disease patients have low plasma levels of Coenzyme Q10. Clinical benefits of Coenzyme Q10 supplementation have been documented for various cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. The investigators believe that Coenzyme Q10 supplementation may have potential benefits in pediatric patients receiving hemodialysis; mainly due to its antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effects.
The aimed this study is to examine the effects of calisthenic exercises on aerobic capacities, muscle strength and quality of life in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
This is a multicenter, open-label parallel-group to evaluate single oral doses of INCB000928 in participants with varying level of renal function or impairment.
The aims of this study are to: - Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) survival of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). - Determine the AVF (arteriovenous fistula) complication rate of patients submitted to MuST compared to those submitted to RL (rope-ladder). - Analyze the intensity of pain perceived by the patient with each cannulation technique under study.
The aim of this randomized controlled experimental study was to determine the effect of the massage applied to hemodialysis patients with complaint of cramp on the cramp frequency, cramp severity, and sleep quality.
We clinically observed that some hemodialysis patients had corneal epithelial dryness, shedding, edema, and persistent epithelial nonunion after ocular surgery, which seriously affected the effect of surgery, and it is necessary to study the ocular surface characteristics of hemodialysis patients. In this study, we examined the ocular surface and analyzed and investigated the characteristics of the ocular surface in hemodialysis patients to provide a basis for ocular surface intervention or treatment in hemodialysis patients before ocular surgery in clinical practice.
