Filter by:Objectives: Evaluate the effect of CPAP to reduce the progression of chronic kidney disease or CKD (the decline of glomerular filtration rate is ≥ 30%) in patients with early-stage renal disease and sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Other objectives are; determine the prevalence of OSAS in patients with early-stage renal disease and evaluate the changes in inflamatories markers and endothelial damage, the state of KDIGO, cardiovascular events, mortality and cost-effectiveness analysis in CPAP group versus non-CPAP group patients. Methods: A prospective, multicentric, randomized and controlled study will be carried out for 3 years. Early-stage renal disease (G1-3 KDIGO) and OSAS patients will be included. The investigators will make a respiratory polygraphy to determinate OSAS (AHI ≥15/h) and after that, the investigators randomized patients in 2 groups; CPAP group and control group (non-CPAP treatment). Patients with AHI <15/h (non-OSAS) will be the reference group and the half of these patients, randomly chosen, will be followed up at the end of the follow up. Statistic analysis: the investigators will analyze the differences in glomerular filtration rate before and after the treatment, comparing the percentage of patients with CKD progression for both groups. The investigators will use the chi square test with raw data and adjusted for confounding variables using intention to treat analysis with imputation of missing values.
The purpose of this protocol is to determine the safety and efficacy of abdominal wall transplantation as a treatment for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects. Abdominal wall transplantation may be performed alone or in combination with another transplant.
The severity of minimal dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is currently detected and graded clinically using clinical criteria. Bispectral Index (BIS), an electroencephalographic (EEG) derived parameter is widely used in anesthesia and Critical Care setting to detect effects of anesthetic/hypnotic drugs. The aim of our study was to assess the discriminative power of BIS monitoring to accurately detect DDS.
The current high-sodium, low-potassium diet contributes to the high prevalence of high blood pressure (hypertension). Indeed, the anti-hypertensive effects of potassium supplementation are well-established. Hypertension is even more prevalent and resistant in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to further decline in kidney function. Four recent epidemiological studies (published 2014 - 2016) showed that higher dietary potassium intake was associated with better renal outcomes. All studies recommended an intervention study with potassium supplementation in patients with CKD, but this has not been performed. The aim of this study is to study the renoprotective effect of potassium supplementation in patients with CKD (stage 3b or 4, i.e. estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 15 - 45 ml/min/1.73 m2).
The study's primary objective is to determine plasma and dialysis fluid concentrations in patients prescribed ceftazidime-avibactam as the standard treatment for their infection and requiring continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) as part of the standard treatment for acute or chronic renal failure. Secondarily, the study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime-avibactam in these patients on CVVHDF. The study will also determine if the prescribed dose meets pharmacodynamic targets.
Patients with terminal chronic kidney disease (CRD) need renal function supplementation, namely dialysis or renal transplantation. Transplantation is the most efficient and cost-effective treatment. Early and equitable access to transplantation is a public health issue. Access to transplantation is facilitated by early and systematic information and assessment of patients for inclusion in the national waiting list for transplantation prior to the onset of dialysis, and by the development of transplantation from living donors. In France, there are wide disparities in access to national waiting list registration and transplantation. One of the causes of these inequalities in access would be the disparity in referral practices to a transplant medical and surgical team authorized to register the individual on the national waiting list. The aim of the TRACE study is to evaluate the impact of a new regional organization promoting renal transplantation on access to renal transplantation.
This study evaluates the effect of renin-angiotensin blockers on chronic kidney disease progression in elderly (>65 years old) patients with non-proteinuric nephropathies. Half of the patients will receive angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, while the other half will not receive them. Renal function, proteinuria and cardiovascular events will be follow up during a three year period.
Sodium-adapted magnetic resonance imaging (23Na-MRI) studies have demonstrated that sodium accumulates in certain tissues, including the skin and skeletal muscle, but may be manipulated by lifestyle factors or therapeutic interventions such as a hemodialysis (HD) session. This tissue sodium accumulation is increased with age and in the presence of certain chronic diseases such as renal failure, and may contribute to the development of high blood pressure. It currently not known what the impact of dietary sodium consumption has on tissue sodium in HD patient's and on the subsequent risk of cardiovascular complications either acutely or chronically. The University of Illinois' Biomedical Imaging Center recently completed safety testing on a 23Na-MRI coil that they modified for measuring skin and muscle sodium levels in the lower leg/calf that will be used for assessing the impact of dietary salt restriction on tissue sodium levels.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transverse abdominal plane block in patients undergoing renal transplant surgery.Adult renal transplant recipients will be prospectively randomized to receive a standard general anesthetic technique supplemented with ropivacaine 0.375% 20 mL TAP block or sham block with 20 mL 0.9% saline. Both groups will receive patient-controlled morphine analgesia. Patient assessment will occur in the postanesthetic care unit and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours. The primary outcome is total morphine consumption in the first 24 hours after renal transplantation. Other outcomes asses include pain scores, presence of nausea or vomiting, excessive sedation, and respiratory depression.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and safety of SHR3824 in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Renal Insufficient.
