Filter by:Hemodialysis (HD) triggers recurrent and cumulative ischemic insults to the brain and the heart. Cooled dialysate may have a protective effect on major organs and improve hemodynamic tolerability of dialysis. The aim of the study was to compare HD with cooled dialysate with routine dialysis in terms of hemodynamic stability and levels of high sensitivity Troponin I (hs-TnI) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) post dialysis
Chronic kidney disease is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease associated with increased mortality rate during cardiac surgery in proportion to the kidney function. Chronic kidney disease is defined by decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as classified by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO). Deterioration of kidney function has a complex and multifactorial pathophysiologic derangement. In order to counter kidney injury associated with cardiac surgery, several pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions have been studied to prevent perioperative deterioration of kidney function. Diuretics as pharmacologic measure are often used post-cardiac surgery to treat fluid overload and managing patient with acute kidney injury by preventing anuria. Loop diuretics (furosemide) may improve renal blood flow, decrease reabsorption in renal tubules, decrease oxygen demand and energy consumption (blocking potassium/sodium/2cloride co-transport in loop of Henle), and prevent hypoxic injury of renal medulla. Low dose continuous furosemide hypothetically has a protective effect on cardiac surgery patients with kidney dysfunction, measured improved glomerular filtration rate, decreased indication for therapeutic furosemide infusion, and decreased need of renal replacement therapy. On the other hand, administration of furosemide is rather harmful in severe kidney dysfunction. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the protective effect of low-dose continuous furosemide perioperative in cardiac surgery patients with mild to moderate kidney dysfunction.
The purpose of this study is to check if patients' exercise during their dialysis sessions can improve the blood parameters which affect the heart disease and osteoporosis, so that we can help patients live longer.
Anemia is a common comorbidity of CKD and is associated with a decreased quality of life and increased healthcare resource utilization. Anemia increases the risk of CKD progression, cardiovascular complications, and overall mortality. The current standard of care includes oral or intravenous iron supplementation, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and red blood cell transfusion. Treatment with high doses of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents increases rates of hospitalization, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Resistance to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents is a therapeutic challenge in many patients . NAC reduces the risk of progression of CKD of any etiology to end stage renal disease (ESRD) but the mechanism by which it reduces the progression of CKD to ESRD is unclear. It may be because of its antioxidant and vasodilatory nature. Prolonged duration of administration and higher dosage of NAC can protect kidneys.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have worsening of chronic heart failure, a long-term condition where the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. In this study researchers wanted to learn more about a new substance called finerenone (BAY94-8862). Finerenone is a substance that blocks the activation of a protein in the body called mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). An increased activation of MR is involved in the development of hypertension, organ damage and worsening of heart failure. Many patients with worsening chronic heart failure also suffer from chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is a long-term decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. The researchers studied how finerenone moves into, through and out of the body. The researchers also looked at how safe finerenone is and how it affects the body. The main purpose of this study was to help researchers develop recommendations for the amount of the substance (the dosing) to be given to patients with reduced kidney function.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the supplementation with tocotrienol, a vitamin E compound on inflammation, oxidative stress, and microbiota on Chronic Kidney Disease patients.
The purpose of this study is to check if patients' exercise during their dialysis sessions can prevent their early deaths.
The SPECKLE- KIDNEY-PED is a multicentre observational controlled trial aiming to evaluate the 2D-Speckle tracking in a population of 85 patients aged from 6 to 17 years old with a chronic renal disease and to compare the results to those of 85 age and gender-matched healthy subjects. The secondary objective is to assess the conventional echocardiographic parameters and the level of exercice capacity.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of curcuminoids in the prevention of CI-AKI in CKD patients.The result of the study was prophylactic administration with curcuminoids in addition to standard treatment reduce the incidence of CI-AKI CKD patients undergoing elective CAG.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of YPEG rhEPO, a recombinant human erythropoietin pegylated by Y shape polyethylene glycol, in patients with anemia due to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), assessed by hemoglobin maintenance, adverse events and health-related quality of life.
