Mechanisms for Organ Dysfunction in Covid-19
The study aims to investigate organ dysfunction and biomarkers in patients with suspected or verified COVID-19 during intensive care at Uppsala University Hospital.
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 …
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 …
Diabetic Nephropathy in People With Diabetes. Prevalence and Predictive Factors
a prospective, observational, multi-center study with a cohort of 300 patients with Type 2 diabetes and macroalbuminuria. Prospectively we will collect kidney biopsies and analyse the transciptome of the kidney tissue and other biomarkers from blood, faeces, urine, proteomicand metabolomic profiles and DNA-variants. Thereby we hope to be able to …
Diurnal BP Patterns in Those at Increased Risk of CVD
In health, blood pressure (BP) falls at night by >10% compared with day-time values. This natural dipping pattern is important as without it there is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent evidence suggests that chronotherapy (taking anti-hypertensive medication at bedtime instead of in the morning) may enhance nocturnal …
Early Detection of Progressive Kidney Disease in Preterm Infants
Infants born preterm and of low birth weight are known to be at increased risk for early onset of cardiovascular and renal disease in adult life. This has been related to low nephron mass due to inadequate or early termination of glomerulogenesis in utero and during the perinatal period. Risks …
Screen CardRen - A Cross-sectional Observational Cohort Study
In this single-centre, cross-sectional study, the investigators aim to assess the prevalence of asymptomatic echocardiographic structural and functional cardiac abnormalities in adult CKD patients with additional cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, with the use of Olink technology, analyses of the plasma proteome will be performed to identify potential protein pathways associated …
Methadone Pharmacokinetics in End-stage Renal Disease
The goal of this observational study is to describe the influence of renal function on the pharmacokinetics of methadone used through an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) pump for the management of acute postoperative pain. After surgery the participants will use an IV-PCA of methadone and blood samples will be withdrawn …
Improving Phosphate Control in Children With CKD
Research goals: To explore the views and baseline knowledge of children and young people (CYP) with CKD and their caregivers to develop effective phosphate educational materials (PEM), adapted for age, and acknowledging different learning styles
TreaT-Assay: the New Frontier for the Diagnosis of Acute Rejection in Kidney Transplantation
Kidney transplantation is the standard therapy for end-stage renal disease. Acute rejection (AR) or chronic rejection along with reactive donor immunity, which counteracts organ acceptance, are among the greatest medical challenges in transplantation. In the posttransplantation setting, immunosuppressive drugs are administered to control or prevent immune reactions; however, the therapies …
