Filter by:Renal failure patients were treated with linezolid (LZD) for proven or suspected infections by multiresistant Gram-positive cocci. The aim of this study is to determine if dose adjustment of LZD is needed as a function of renal impairment or not, especially that a significant component of LZD is eliminated unchanged in urine.
Four subjects were treated under compassionate use provisions under this study with facilitating cell therapy (FCRx)
pain control in pediatric renal transplant is a major concern. the main goal during anesthesia of renal transplant in pediatrics is to maintain hemodynamics in a range close to that of the adult donor. epidural analgesia is thought to be very effective in pain control. this study emphasises the ease of application of epidural catheter via the caudal route to the lower thoracic level; avoiding possible complications that may arise from lumbar or thoracic routes, and its effects on hemodynamics when using analgesic doses of local anesthetics and narcotics.
The purpose of this study is to determine 1. whether intraoperative hypotension or hypertension is independently associated with postoperative mortality and morbidity 2. whether quality improvement interventions implemented at the University of Michigan and at Washington University: 1. decrease the extent and duration of intraoperative hypotension and hypertension. 2. are associated with decreased postoperative mortality and morbidity.
Investigators aim to retrospectively research patients undergoing renal transplants that received dexmedetomidine perioperatively to see if dexmedetomidine use protects renal function. Investigators hope to elucidate any association between renal transplant patients and perioperative dexmedetomidine administration, these include (but are not limited to) UOP, Cr/GFR, morbidity, mortality, in hospital complications and failure rate. Investigators will research both living and cadaveric renal transplants.
This study is being done to compare the effectiveness and safety of two different kidney transplant immunosuppression drugs, Zortress (the study drug) and Rapamune (which is used in the current standard immunosuppression regimen).
Respiratory failure following extubation causes significant morbidity and increases mortality in teh surgical intensive care unit (SICU). However the causes of respiratory failure following extubation remain poorly understood. The investigators hypothesize that extubation failure can be predicted based on preoperative risk factors as well as ICU acquired morbidities including muscle weakness and renal failure.
Open label, prospective, single-center, randomized, two sequence, three period crossover study to compare the steady state pharmacokinetics of LCP-Tacro tables to generic tacrolimus capsules administered twice daily in stable African-American renal transplant patients.
The purpose of the pilot study is to determine: 1) Will patients agree to be randomized to two different methods of putting needles in their arteriovenous fistula and, 2) if we can adequately coordinate all of the sites to get useful multicentre trial data
The value of HbA1c as a tool to determine glycemic control in patients with diabetes and renal failure has not been well studied, the same accepted normal ranges for HbA1c are applied to all patients with diabetes regardless of their renal function. We would like to evaluate the use of HbA1c as a tool of assessing long term glycemic control in this subgroup of patients with diabetes and evaluate the effect of dialysis on HbA1c
