AK+ Guard™ Pilot Study in Chronic Kidney Disease: Outpatient Diagnostic Accuracy and Remote Monitoring
The goal of this observational pilot study is to evaluate the investigational AK+ Guard™ software as a medical device (SaMD) for detection of moderate to severe hyperkalemia (serum potassium (K+) ≥ 6.5 mmol/L) in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Study objectives are: Arm 2A (Outpatient Diagnostic Accuracy): To generate …
Early Evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic Function Impairment in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease by Multimodal Ultrasonography
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the value of multimodal ultrasound in early detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). The main questions it aims to answer are: If first-phase ejection fraction（EF1）could early detect the left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients …
Validating Novel, Non-contrast Cardiac MRI Imaging in Haemodialysis Patients
There are currently no good ways of measuring levels of scarring in the hearts of patients with advanced kidney disease and patients on dialysis, although recent research has shown a new cardiac MRI technique, called native T1 mapping, may provide a solution to this. To assess the accuracy of this …
The Role of Toll-like Receptor-4 in Periodontitis Patients With End-stage Renal Disease in a Sample of Egyptian Population
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health issue in Egypt, leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD patients often suffer from oral abnormalities due to the disease and medications. Periodontitis is linked to systemic diseases, including renal disease, with inflammation playing a key role. TLR4 genetic variations may …
Evaluation of IGRA, Symptoms and Chest Radiograph for Subclinical TB Detection in ESRD and KT
This is an observational study among approximately 160 end-stage renal disease patients on renal replacement therapy and post-living donor or deceased donor kidney transplant recipients. Investigators aim to assess the proportion of positive IGRA associated with symptom development, sputum Xpert MTB/RIF assay, and chest radiograph to define latent TB infection …
Precision Medicine Approaches to Renal Osteodystrophy
Treatment of renal osteodystrophy is impeded by the lack of practical and accurate tools to determine underlying bone turnover. Gold standard bone biopsy is not practical in the clinic for the vast majority of kidney disease patients and parathyroid hormone and bone alkaline phosphatase have insufficient accuracy for turnover type …
Pathogenesis of Kidney Disease in Type 1 Diabetes: a Modern Kidney Biopsy Cohort (The PANDA Study)
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) occurs in up to 40% of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), often leading to kidney failure and markedly magnifying risks of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Landmark T1D kidney biopsy studies identified the classic pathological lesions of DKD, which have been attributed largely to hyperglycemia. …
The Impact of Renal Transplant on Coronary Microvascular Function Among Patients With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease
People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often experience faster aging of the heart and blood vessels, which raises the risk of heart problems beyond traditional factors like high blood pressure or cholesterol. One early sign is reduced blood flow in the tiny vessels that supply the heart, measured by a …
Proteinuria and Renal Perfusion in Renal Transplant Recipients
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the major cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients, with the rate of cardiac death 10-times higher than that of the general population. An independent association between post-transplant proteinuria and cardiovascular risk has been previously reported. Diseased native kidneys with residual urine output or the …
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in People With Diabetes on Dialysis
Continuous glucose monitoring is a sensor, which monitors glucose levels continuously throughout the day. In people with diabetes, especially those treated with insulin, this sensor helps guide the amount of treatment (such as insulin) required to maintain glucose within target. In dialysis, the glucose levels and insulin needs can change …
