Chronic Kidney Disease-Education (CKD-EDU)
The investigators are conducting a study to see which program better helps older patients with kidney disease choose their treatment. Investigators are also investigating if either program can reduce the number of hospital or emergency room visits in the first 6 months of the study, as well as potentially improve …
Enhancing Physical Function in Older Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to examine the feasibility and safety of a 12-week high-velocity resistance training (HVRT) intervention in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 4-5 and to generate preliminary data to inform a future study investigating the efficacy of HVRT for improving …
Assessment of Kidney Function by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)
The product under investigation is named Gense EIT-kidney device. This kidney device is a portable and non-invasive imaging modality capable of capturing the cross-sectional bioelectrical impedance distribution of the kidney at multiple current injection frequencies using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Currently, the kidney device employs a band consisting of 16 …
Mindfulness in Chronic Kidney Disease
This study will test whether mindfulness meditation (MM) improves sympathetic function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and whether transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) optimizes the sympatho-inhibitory effects of mindfulness meditation (MM) and restores autonomic balance in CKD patients.
Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
30 patients will participate in a prospective randomized clinical trial to test the safety, tolerability and efficacy of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5 setting.
Anti-Inflammatory Treatment of Uremic Cardiomyopathy With Colchicine
This study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of colchicine in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Beetroot Extract Supplementation Associated With an Exercise Protocol for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often present systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, resulting in metabolic disorders and high rates of disease-associated cardiovascular death. The literature has indicated that dietary control, the use of bioactive compounds, and the practice of regular physical exercise are essential for the prevention and management of …
Neurocognitive Outcomes for ICU Patients With Acute Kidney Injury
Introduction. Initiation of acute kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is common in critically ill adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. KRT has been linked to poor neurocognitive outcomes, leading to a reduced quality of life, as well as increased utilization of …
Melatonin for Prevention of Kidney Injury
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of melatonin for the prevention of antibiotic associated acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients.
Inflammatory Mediators of Acute Kidney Injury in Intensive Care
Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects more than 50% of patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The most common underlying cause is sepsis. Severe AKI in combination with sepsis is associated with high mortality. The mechanisms for sepsis-induced AKI are largely unknown. Our hypothesis is that the inflammatory response to …
