Filter by:In this survey study, researchers want to find out more about how physicians are treating patients diagnosed with reduced kidney function (chronic kidney disease, CKD) and high blood sugar level (type 2 diabetes); what physicians know about the different treatment options available; and how they use this knowledge to treat their patients successfully. Additionally, researchers want to gather information about patient's awareness of their disease and which criteria they consider important for their treatment of the disease. The study will survey a total of 150 patients with type 2 diabetes: 50 patients with mild CKD; 50 patients with moderate CKD; and 50 patients with severe CKD. Patients eligible for this study can be male or female and should be at least 18 years old. In addition, a total of 150 physicians will be surveyed. Physicians eligible for this study may be general practitioners, endocrinologist, or nephrologists.
Fasting mimetic diet (FMD) showed positive effects on cardiovascular risks. Purpose of the trial is to evaluate FMD effects on patients affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), through the stimulation of kidney stem cells and improving cardiovascular and metabolic status. From April 2018, the investigators enrolled 13 patients (7 male) with an history of primary glomerulonephritis (GMN) and an eGFR between 60 ml/min and 30 ml/min. Exclusion criteria are: age <18 y.o., age> 65 y.o., secondary GMN, severe heart failure (NYHA IV),ongoing infectious diseases, ongoing neoplasia, hepatic diseases, COPD, inflammatory bowel disease, history of stroke, history of acute coronary disease less than 3 months, pregnancy, refuse informed consent.
Overall study aim of this study is to analyse descriptive statistics of Patient-Reported Outcome（PROs） which will be used in the Hyperkalemia（HK） registry study in hyperkalemia patients with Chronic Kidney Disease（CKD） or Heart Failure（HF） to describe the practice patterns of hyperkalemia treatment in in clinical practice. Based on these assessments, this study will provide the information for the applicability of PRO measurements which will be used in the Hyperkalemia registry study to the study population, i.e. CKD and/or HF patients with hyperkalemia
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ferric citrate tablet in the control of serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.
SCOPE-PLUS is an optional substudy of the observational SCOPE Study (Screening for Chronic Kidney Disease among Older People across Europe, NCT02691546). The objective of the SCOPE-PLUS study is to derive new equations based on innovative and novel biomarkers of CKD function and compare its accuracy to measure GFR in the population older than 75 years.
In people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use insulin well. This results in high blood sugar levels. People with T2D are at a higher risk of having a condition called chronic kidney disease (CKD). In people with CKD, the kidneys become damaged and do not work as they should. People with CKD can have trouble breathing and often have swelling in their arms and legs, and high blood pressure. People who have CKD and T2D are more likely to have other medical problems, such as heart disease. There are many treatments available to patients who have CKD and T2D. But, researchers need more information about how doctors in Canada are deciding which treatment to give these patients. In this study, the researchers will review health information from men and women with T2D who visited a doctor in 2019 and had check-ups for at least 6 months. The health information will be taken from a Canadian registry (or database) owned by LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology. The registry contains information from people that went to an LMC clinic. In this study, the researchers will learn how many of these people had T2D and CKD. They will learn the treatments these people received, and if they had other related medical problems. The researchers will also use surveys to ask the doctors about why they chose certain treatments.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes symptoms and potential loss of independence. These effects are increased as the disease progress to endstage renal disease (ESRD), particularly when external intervention (i.e. dialysis) is used to keep these individuals alive. The combined effect of ESRD and its treatment has a significant impact on an individual's life, potentially causing reduced employment time, reduced social time and increased anxiety/stress. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact that CKD/ESRD have on an individual's life. Specifically, this study is focused on giving an insight into the psychosocial impact that CKD/ESRD and different forms of renal replacement therapy have upon these individuals.
This study evaluates the role of advanced US technology in assessing renal transplants as screening tools such as 3D Ultrasound, Ultrasound SWE, and MFI besides current ultrasound conventional metheds.
The purpose of the research study is to describe the burden of disease among three different cohorts of patients: (1) patients diagnosed with CKD, (2) those with T2DM; and (3) those with T2DM and comorbid CKD.
The objective of this study is to assess whether supplementation with curcumin could modulate the intestinal microbiota, reducing levels of inflammatory markers of oxidative stress, uremic toxins and inflammasome, in patients with chronic kidney disease in peritoneal dialysis.
