Predicting Outcomes in Posttransplant Diabetes Mellitus Via microRNA
The study aims to improve the prediction and early detection of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney transplant recipients. The investigators are investigating whether specific microRNA profiles measured 3 months after transplantation can reliably predict the development of PTDM within the following one to two years. Additionally, the investigators are …
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) After Kidney Transplantation
This study examines glucose levels measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in the immediate period following kidney transplantation among recipients with diabetes, without diabetes, and with pre-diabetes. The primary objective is to analyse differences in mean sensor glucose between these three groups. CGMs are applied to participants within 72 hours …
Expanding the Scope of Post-transplant HLA-specific Antibody Detection and Monitoring in Renal Transplant Recipients
The purpose of this study is to assess a new test to detect antibodies which may form following kidney transplant. These antibodies can be difficult to detect as they do not cause any symptoms but can lead to kidney damage. A new blood test will be performed alongside existing antibody …
Detection of Plasma DNA of Renal Origin in Kidney Transplant Patients
Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has been proposed as a potential diagnostic tool to monitor the rejection status of the kidney transplant. It has been suggested that dd-cfDNA is increasing in the blood of kidney transplant patient presenting a graft rejection. In this project, investigators proposed a different approach to predict …
EPI-STORM: Cytokine Storm in Organ Donors
Kidney and liver transplantation are the treatment of choice and are often the last therapeutic option offered to patients with chronic renal and liver failure. More than 70% of kidneys and liver available for transplantation are obtained from donors following neurological death. Unfortunately, compared to living donation, transplant function, graft …
Knowledge of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
The aim of this study is to assess knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors, physical activity levels, health literacy and perceptions of benefits and barriers to exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease and compare them with healthy people.
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 …
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 …
Multiparametric MRI in a Prospective Cohort of Living Kidney Donors, Recipients, and Healthy Controls: Correlations With Markers of Renal Function, Fibrosis and Ageing
Development of renal fibrosis is the irreversible culmination of various renal diseases and independently predicts adverse outcomes. Currently renal fibrosis can only be diagnosed by performing a renal biopsy. The procedure is invasive and is limited by sampling bias. In recent years there has been a significant development in magnetic …
Hyperthyroidism as a Potential Predictive of Worse Outcome of Renal Graft
The objectives of the study are: to research the association, if any, between the occurrence of thyroid function changes in the immediate post-transplant period and the prognosis of the transplant itself; identify any risk factors for the occurrence of thyroid disorders In the immediate post-transplant period.
