The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of gabapentin with loratadine in reducing the severity of uremic pruritus in patients of chronic kidney disease and to compare the side effects of both drugs. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which drug (gabapentin versus loratadine) is more effective in reducing the severity of uremic pruritus? - Which drug (gabapentin versus loratadine) has fewer side effects? Participants were divided into two groups.Group A received loratadine 10mg daily and group B received gabapentin 100mg daily. Both groups were given treatment for 4 weeks. - Participants were asked to grade the severity of pruritus on a numerical rating scale and also answer the Dermatology Life Quality Index Questionnaire (DLQI) - Participants were also asked to report any side effects, if occurred. Researchers compared both groups with regards to improvement in pruritus severity, DLQI score and side effects.
This study will seek consent from parents of children enrolled in the Malaria FEVER study to obtain neuroimaging and 12-month neuropsychiatric outcomes data and kidney function on their child. The imaging and evaluations for this observational study will occur after the child has recovered from the acute malaria infection and has otherwise completed the RCT intervention and safety evaluations.
The goal of this observational study is to compare hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. The main questions it mains to answer are: - What is the level of physical activity in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? - What is the level of quality of life of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? - Is there any relation between inactivity and quality of life in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients? Participants will answer 2 questionnaires and will do some functional tests.
People are most vulnerable to anxiety when faced with life-threatening situations such as illness, medical treatments and surgeries. When a person becomes ill, he and his family must face a series of changes in their life habits, must cope with admissions, aggressive treatments and endure physical pain. These changes can generate an unfavorable state of mind to face the disease, which sometimes worsens the previous clinical situation. The direct effect of music has been studied in different pathologies during the last years. The proposed research sought to provide information on the influence of classical music listened to live and in situ in the hospital, and the response to the disease and its evolution, in patients with chronic renal failure. For this purpose, the effect of live music performances in hemodialysis rooms was analyzed and changes in the patients' mood and quality of life were observed. Changes in vital sign recording were also observed, all of which were assessed before and after the interventions. Finally, we checked if there were any changes in the variables described as confounders (KT/V-Albumin-Hemoglobin-Blood Pressure-Consumption of psychotropic drugs and analgesics), which could be attributable to listening to music.To test the effect in patients with chronic renal failure, live classical music was listened to in the hospital, as an adjuvant to treatment during haemodialysis processes. Ninety patients participated in 2 groups, the intervention group that listened to music during haemodialysis sessions and the control group that continued with their usual treatment. Changes in anxiety and mood were analyzed by means of the quality of life questionnaire (HAD) and quality of life by spheres with the KDQOL-SF questionnaire, before and after the intervention in both groups.

- There is a discrepancy between protocols used for intravenous imaging for chronic kidney disease including hemodialysis patients among different hospitals and even, among radiologists same selves. - This questionnaire based study aims to quantify that discrepancy and describe the variables associated with the discrepancy.
The purpose of research that Mobile Education Application is to evaluate its effects on the progress of chronic renal failure . The sample of the study, which is conducted with a semi-experimental design, consisted of 100 patients (50 interventions and 50 controls) who applied to the nephrology outpatient clinic of a City Hospital affiliated to the Istanbul Provincial Health Directorate. Patient Diagnosis Form, Diet Information of Hemodialysis Patients, Dietary Behavior of Hemodialysis Patients, Cognitive Behavioral Physical Activity scale and mobile education application were used as data collection tools. In the analyses of data; descriptive analyses, parametric and non-parametric tests, generalized linear mixed model and linear regression analysis are used. Firstly, face-to-face training was given to the experimental and control groups. Subsequently, a mobile education application was installed on the phones of the experimental group. The patients in the experimental group were followed for six months with the mobile education application. The content of the mobile education application; education, nutritional contents, measurement values and ask me a question sections. With the reminder system in the application, notifications were sent to the patients 2 days a week. The characteristics of the participants in both groups of the study were similar.
Type of Study: a pragmatic randomized clinical trial. Research question How effective is the CKD SMS self-management nursing intervention on self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and adherence in adults with early-stage CKD compared to usual care? General objective To determine the effectiveness of the self-management nursing intervention (CKD SMS) on self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and therapeutic adherence in people with CKD in early stages compared to usual care. Target population: Adult men and women with chronic kidney disease in stages 1-4, with different characteristics such as educational level, socioeconomic status, and marital status. Taking into account that the definition of early stages through the criteria demarcated by the Colombian clinical practice guideline, where the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the indicator for stratification as follows: stage 1 people with a GFR less than or equal to 90 (ml (min / 1.73 m2), stage 2 people with GFR between 60-89 (ml (min / 1.73 m2), stage 3 people with GFR between 30-59 (ml (min / 1.73 m2)) and stage 4 people with GFR between 15-30 (ml (min / 1.73 m2) who attend kidney protection programs of the Renal Units in Colombia. STUDY VARIABLES Among the variables that are available for the present study are: - Independent Variables: Sociodemographic characteristics, related to the disease or clinical condition and the CKD intervention. - Dependent variables: Self-management behaviors, therapeutic adherence, and self-efficacy. Within the mediating, shaping or confounding variables, the following are found according to what is established in the literature: age, gender, level of education, time of diagnosis and other comorbidities, which are initially considered independent variables and will be measured. In the study, for its management, strategies such as randomization will be used, the differences between the crude estimates of an association and those adjusted considering a confounding variable will be identified and its adjustment is responsible for at least 10% in the magnitude of the difference. INTERVENTIONS - CKD SMS intervention CKD SMS (Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Management Support) intervention - Conventional intervention The conventional intervention corresponds to the protocol established in the program of the renal unit for the management of people with CKD in early stages.
