A Simplified Lung Ultrasound Guided Management Protocol Of Pulmonary Congestion in Hemodialysis
Pulmonary congestion secondary to volume overload or interstitial tissue inflammation is common in chronic hemodialysis patients. This pulmonary congestion occurs mainly during the period between dialysis sessions and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular event morbidity and mortality in this population. The evaluation of this pulmonary congestion and the …
Comparison of Efficacy Between Nighttime and Daytime Peritoneal Dialysis
Background: Compared with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), nocturnal continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (NCPD) uses a machine to exchange fluid to perform dialysis at night, allowing patients to work or study normally during daytime. Since the dialysis fluid retention time of NCPD patients is shorter than that of CAPD, this …
Effect of Modifying Magnesium Concentration in Citrate-enriched Dialysate on Hemodialysis-associated Thromboinflammation
This clinical trial investigates whether the composition of dialysate influences hemodialysis-associated thromboinflammation. Specifically, it evaluates the effects of magnesium concentration and acid type in dialysate on immune cell activation and thromboinflammatory responses. Patients participating to the multicentric pilot OMAGOD trial will be invited to participate to this monocentric plus study. …
Expanded Hemodialysis Versus High-Volume Online Hemodiafiltration for Uremic Toxin Removal
People with advanced kidney disease need dialysis to remove waste products from the blood. Some of these waste products, called uremic toxins, are small, while others are medium-sized and more difficult to remove. Poor removal of these toxins may contribute to symptoms and long-term complications in patients on dialysis. Two …
HED-Start: Evaluating a Positive Skills Intervention for Patients New on Haemodialysis
Hemodialysis patients often experience barriers and misperceptions that hinder adjustment to life on dialysis. This study seeks to explore a group-based intervention (titled HED-Start) developed to improve self-care and emotional wellbeing among incident hemodialysis patients.
Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate to Allow Liberal Fruit and Vegetable Intake for Patients With CKD Stage 3b and 4
Rationale: Several studies have shown that higher urinary potassium excretion (as proxy for potassium intake) is associated with better kidney outcomes, lower blood pressure and improved survival. These associations are also observed in patients with (advanced) CKD. However, application in daily practice in patients with CKD, is impaired by the …
Effect of an Intervention to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury Versus Standard Care in High-risk Patients After Major Surgery
There is no specific therapy for acute kidney injury. It is presumed that supportive measures improve the care and outcome of patients with acute kidney injury. To investigate whether an implementation of a supportive extended care "bundle" in high-risk patients for persistent acute kidney injury (AKI) can reduce the occurrence …
The Biosonographic Index
In this exploratory study we explore the use of Shear Wave Elastography to differentiate between Acute Kidney Injury after vascular surgery and among the healthy population.
Low Dose Vasopressin vs Phenylephrine in Cardiac Surgery
This is a randomized, open label study to investigate vasopressin versus phenylephrine as a first line pressor in cardiac surgery. All patients >18 years of age presenting for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), valve surgery, or combined CABG and valve surgery will be screened for inclusion. Patients with ejection fraction …
Recombinant Human C1 Esterase Inhibitor (Conestat Alfa) in the Prevention of Acute Ischemic Cerebral and Renal Events After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
The aim of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of conestat alfa (Ruconest®, Pharming Technologies B.V.) on renal and cerebral ischemic events in patients undergoing TAVI for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) compared to placebo.
