Filter by:Primary Aim A. To disseminate and determine the impact of streamlined navigation on wait listing and number of transplants. The navigator will provide tailored information and assistance to help dialysis patients complete the tasks required at each step in the transplant process. In the control group, dialysis patients will continue to get usual care from their nephrologists and dialysis facility personnel. Hypothesis: Compared to control patients, intervention patients will be significantly more likely to be wait listed or receive a kidney transplant.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Eculizumab in the prevention of Delayed Graft Function following deceased donor kidney transplantation. Based on experimental data and supportive observations in humans associating complement gene upregulation with ischemic reperfusion (IR) injury, it is hypothesized that C5 cleavage is a key step in the pathogenesis of ischemic reperfusion injury following transplantation. It is further hypothesized that Eculizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks C5 cleavage in humans will be an effective prophylactic agent to prevent IR injury in high risk recipients. This trial is a prospective, randomized study to test the efficacy of eculizumab vs. placebo given once at the time of transplantation and once again 24 hours later in preventing delayed graft function in first adult recipients of deceased donor kidneys.
This is an observational multi-center study to determine whether any single immune monitoring test or a combination of tests obtained in the first 6 months after renal transplantation correlates with acute rejection or graft loss in renal allograft recipients receiving commonly used immunosuppressive.
Nonadherence to immunosuppression is a leading cause of late graft rejection, chronic rejection and graft failure and it is regarded as a preventable cause of graft loss after solid organ transplantation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether mobile application for drug medication can enhance the drug adherence rate.
The Membranous nephropathy (GEM)idiopatic is the most frequent cause of syndrome néphrotique at the adult and represent approximately 2 % of the causes of terminal chronic renal insufficiency. A etiology balance assessment must be systematically realized to eliminate a secondary cause. Antibodies managed against the receiver of phospholipases A2 secreted by type M (PLA2R1) was recently detected in a population of GEM idiopatic, but not secondary GEM. PLA2R1 is expressed by the podocytes of the glomerules of healthy subjects, and this receiver co-is located with the deposits of extramembraneous IgG of the expanding subjects of idiopathique GEM. The good IgG the extramembraneous depositsof GEM idiopathic recognize PLA2R1. At some patients, the activity anti-PLA2R1 seems to decrease or to disappear during the stake in forgiveness of the disease. Some cases of second offense of GEM idiopathique after renal transplantation presenting antibodies anti-PLA2R1 have also described. The appearance of antibody anti-PLA2R1 seems parallel to the increase of a proteinurie in touch with a second offense of GEM, and antibodies sometimes disappeared after a therapeutic strengthening by Rituximab allowing to obtain a forgiveness. A GEM can also appear of novo on the renal transplant, it is to say without notion of GEM on the native loins. The physiopathology of this affection remains unknown. Working hypothesis and objectives We shall look in which proportion the presence of antibody anti-PLA2R1 is associated with the second offense of GEM idiopathic in renal transplantation. We anticipate that the GEM of novo of the renal transplant answers a different physiopathology, and will not be associated with the presence of antibody anti-PLA2R1. We hope to demonstrate that at the expanding patients of antibody anti-PLA2R1, the title of these antibodies is correlated in the activity of the disease and in the renal survival, and that the longitudinal follow-up of the title of these antibodies has an interest forecast and therapeutics.
The disparity between supply and demand for organs has stimulated the development of strategies to increase the availability of kidney grafts. Such strategy involves the use of kidneys with expanded donor criteria (EDC). This is a study initiated by the investigator, open, prospective, randomized, single center designed to compare the safety and efficacy of two immunosuppressive regimens based on thymoglobulin, tacrolimus and everolimus versus thymoglobulin, tacrolimus and mycophenolate sodium in renal transplant recipients with donor criteria expanded.
The study is designed to compare the steady-state pharmacokinetics of Prograf (Brand) and the two most disparate generic formulations (Generic Hi and Generic Lo) in a fully replicated, 3-way cross-over study in stable kidney (n=36) and liver transplant (n=36) subjects.
This study is being conducted to determine if belatacept is an appropriate alternative immunosuppressive medication (reducing the immune system's effect) when a kidney transplant patient develops new onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT). Patients who are diagnosed with NODAT will be approached with the opportunity to participate in this study. If they agree to participate, they will be randomized one-to-one (like a coin flip) to the study arm (belatacept) or the control arm (their current medication regimen). If a patient is randomized to the study arm, they will be tapered off of their current regimen when they have started receiving their monthly belatacept infusions. The control arm will mean the patient will continue their current, standard of care medications, but following the tacrolimus trough levels indicated within the study protocol. Different laboratory tests (i.e. fasting blood glucose) will be measured during the study to monitor the progression of NODAT in all patients.
n-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) supplementation reduces systemic inflammation and improves renal and cardiovascular prognosis in kidney transplant recipients. A good patient compliance is often difficult to obtain because bad tasting fish oils are used as n-3 PUFA source. Therefore, we explored whether n-3 beneficial effects can be obtained by administering a diet based on n-3 rich foods.
The purpose of this study is to compare antibiotics versus no-treatment in kidney transplant recipients with asymptomatic bacteriuria.
