Filter by:The current trial is designed to evaluate how the results of KidneyIntelX test / platform impacts on the clinical management of type 2 diabetes patients identified as increased risk for rapid kidney function decline within 5-years.
The main objective of this prospective cohort study is to assess arrhythmia burden and glycemic variability in a multicenter cohort of patients with end-stage renal disease using a sufficient observation period in order to identify arrhythmia burden and type and characterize associations with patient characteristics and dialysis treatment, glycemic variability and subsequent risk of adverse outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of allogeneic mesenchymal stem / stromal cell therapy in individuals with chronic kidney disease.
We are doing this study to learn more about how semaglutide may help fight chronic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. We are doing this by looking into how semaglutide works in the kidneys. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo (a 'dummy' medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a medicine doctors can prescribe in some countries for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Participants will get the study medicine in a pen. Participants will use the pen to inject the medicine into the skin once a week. The study will last for about 1 year. Participants will have 11 visits to the clinic, and 2 phone visits. Some of the visits could be in different locations. Study staff will take blood samples at most of these visits. At 9 visits, participants will be asked to bring a sample of their first morning urine. At 4 of the visits participants will have to bring urine that they have collected over the last 24 hours. The study includes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of participants' kidneys which is a test that shows a detailed picture of organs and other parts inside the body. The scan will last for 30 minutes, and is free of radiation.
Randomized clinical trial focusing on the effect of tailored information on Covid-19 for patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5 on health literacy, anxiety and self-perceived health.
This is a retrospective observational study drawing on data from the Brigham and Women's Home Hospital database. Sociodemographic and clinic data from a training cohort were used to train a machine learning algorithm to predict length of stay throughout a patient's admission. This algorithm was then validated in a validation cohort.
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether community health worker (CHW) navigation improves outcomes of chronic disease and chronic disease risk factors in a low-income, primarily ethnic minority population when combined with an evidence-based population health model as compared to usual care after 10 months.
The investigators will conduct a pilot study to determine whether home-based exercise is an effective intervention to improve decreased physical function in kidney transplant candidates. The investigators will determine if home-based exercise improves frailty parameters and SPPB scores. The investigators will also determine if home-based exercise improves health-related quality of life (HRQOL), physical activity, and adverse clinical outcomes, including hospitalizations.
This is a Phase I/II double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing safety and limited efficacy of intraoperative C1INH (500U/kidney) vs. Placebo administered into the graft renal artery 1-2 hours prior to implantation in adult subjects receiving a deceased donor kidney allograft considered high-risk for development of DGF (KDPI>80). Once eligible patients are identified, consented, and have an acceptable kidney transplant offer, they will be randomized by the Cedars-Sinai Research Pharmacy to receive study drug vs. placebo. Drug and placebo will be prepared by the Cedars-Sinai Research Pharmacy and conveyed to the operating room in a blinded manner. The drug will be administered by the transplant surgeon in the OR in a blinded manner.
A higher prevalence of thyroid disease has been associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and subclinical hypothyroidism seems to be the most common dysfunction. The aim is to evaluate thyroid function and autoimmunity in patients with CKD stages 3, 4 and 5. Cross-sectional study to be carried out on patients with stages 3 and 4 in a Nephrology outpatient clinic. Thyroid function is evaluated by measuring thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine and antithyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) levels.
