Filter by:Home HD (HHD) is associated with better outcome in end-stage renal disease patients compared to in-center HD, in particular in terms of quality of life. However fear of AVF cannulation is a known barrier for patient's choice and adoption of a HHD program. Providing nurse assistance for the cannulation can help developing HHD programs. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of assisted home hemodialysis, with the intervention of a nurse at home for arterio-venous fistula cannulation.
The main purpose of our study is to investigate whether haemodialysis itself affects the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs and the effects of two different types of dialysis membranes (polysulfone membranes and polyamide membranes) on antiplatelet efficacy. A total of 60 patients with ESRD and under dual-antiplatelet treatmen for at least 5 days will be enrolled and divided into the Clopidogrel group (clopidogrel 75mg qd;aspirin 100mg qd, n=30) and the Ticagrelor group (ticagrelor 90mg bid; aspirin 100mg qd, n=30). All included patients will receive haemodialysis by two different types of dialysis membrane.Platelet aggregation of venous blood from all patients will be detected by LTA and VerifyNow immediately before and after two times of haemodialysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the platelet count change from baseline and safety of OMS721 in adults and adolescents with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). The study will also evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-drug antibody response (ADA).
The investigators are registering all HD patients at recruited hospitals and developing a HD database in China. Patients will be follow-up every 3 months, and both baseline and follow-up information will be entered into the registration system. The patient survival, technical survival, patency rate of access, quality of life and residual renal function for HD patients will be compared using the HD database.
CARMEN is a national, real-world clinical registry of all adult patients with incident diagnosis of Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or Autoimmune Hemolytic anemia (AIHA) patients in France. It is aimed at describing ITP and AIHA clinical features, assessing the real-world risk-benefit ratio of treatments and adherence to guidelines for ITP and AIHA management.
T follicular helper (TFH) cells represent a T cell subset dedicated to the activation of B cells. They have been involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases in humans such as lupus and Sjögren disease. We recently showed that TFH are implicated in the activation of autoreactive B lymphocytes during ITP. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is an autoimmune disease due to antibodies targeting red blood cells. To date, the role of TFH in the pathogenesis of AIHA is not known. We hypothesize that AIHA is associated with an increase in the number and/or function of TFH, that could participate in the activation of autoreactive B lymphocytes.
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
Post-marketing safety data on patients treated and untreated with eculizumab or ravulizumab.
The general objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Rituximab in the management of patients with refractory or relapsed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS). There have been several case reports and case series describing the use of Rituximab in patients with TTP-HUS; however its use has not been studied in a large trial. It is hypothesized that Rituximab may ameliorate the severity of certain cases of TTP-HUS by decreasing the number of activity of B-cells which may result in decreased production of the ADAMTS13 protease inhibitor. Patients with TTP-HUS not responding to standard therapy or patients with relapsed disease may have particular benefit. Treatments that decrease the frequency of relapse or shorten the time to remission of TTP-HUS will be of benefit by decreasing the need for blood product support.
