Duke APOL1 Research Biorepository
The Duke ApoL1 Nephropathy Biorepository aims to address needs within non-diabetic kidney failure research by utilizing existing and, when necessary, developing new infrastructure to support the consent of patients and the collection of dedicated samples for ApoL1 Nephropathy biorepository. The mutations in ApoL1 gene that are strongly associated with kidney …
Percutaneous Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion (PREDICT)
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the most frequent modality of home dialysis for patients with kidney failure. Most PD catheters are placed using a laparoscopic technique. This approach requires the availability of a qualified surgeon, time in the operating theater and general anaesthesia for the patient. Thus, the laparoscopic technique is …
Emotion and Cognitive Function and Brain Imaging Change in HD Patients
Observe the influence of entering hemodialysis treatment on the emotional and cognitive functions of ESRD patients. Observe the influence of entering hemodialysis treatment on the brain structure imaging of ESRD patients. Analyze and study the relevant clinical risk factors of the above-mentioned effects, and find targets for therapeutic intervention.
Preference of Life-Sustaining Treatment Among Patients With End Stage Renal Disease
Although patients with kidney disease can rely on dialysis to prolong their lives, the complexity of the disease, the variability of the course of the disease, and the uncertainty of the prognosis often delay the discussion of issues at the end of life, and the deterioration of the condition often …
PReSeRVE-HD: Observational Study of the Merit HeRO® Graft and Super HeRO® in Patients on Hemodialysis
The goal of this observational study is to increase the understanding of the safety and performance of Merit Medical's HeRO Graft System (HeRO) and Super HeRO Adaptor and Support Seal System (Super HeRO) devices. This study includes adults that are being treated with one of these devices as part of …
Association of Middle Molecules Clearance With HDF Volume
HDF is a dialysis technique which involves diffusion and convection. HDF with high convection volume has consistently shown to improve survival in dialysis patients in number of robust RCTs. The precise reason of this survival benefit remains unclear. The investigators hypothesize that this survival benefit with high volume HDF is …
Kinesiophobia, Pain, Balance, Quality of Life and Mental Status in Hemodialysis Patients
The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and pain, balance, physical performance, quality of life and mental status in patients receiving hemodialysis.
The Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of Kidney Disease in HFpEF With Obesity
This research study wants to learn about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with Obesity, and Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) and better ways to evaluate these diseases. HFpEF means that the heart is not able to fill properly with blood while it is resting so the amount of blood …
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 …
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 …
