Venous Ultrasound Guided Organ Decongestion in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of VExUS guided organ decongestion compared to standard of care in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failue (ADHF). 180 patients will be randomly assigned to either intervention (VExUS) arm or standard of care (SOC) arm. In …
Impact of Intraoperative Hemodynamic Instability on Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery
Intraoperative hemodynamic instability (IOHI) is a common occurrence during cardiac surgery and is associated with organ hypoperfusion. However, the specific impact of IOHI on composite adverse outcomes remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the association between intraoperative hemodynamic instability (defined as MAP \< 65 mmHg or vasopressor …
Outcomes of Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR) in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The purpose of this research is to evaluate outcomes of physiologic insulin re-sensitization (PIR) in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
KTRSensor Scotland Study: An Observational Study Into Predictors and Diagnosis of Kidney Transplant Rejection
An observational study capturing real world transplant patients in the post-operative setting aiming to further determine the utility of biomarkers to improve outcomes.
CKD Cachexia and Gut Microbiome
Cachexia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Cachexia is a complex syndrome, in which inflammation and retention of uremic toxins are two main contributing factors. In this context, the role of the gut microbiome in CKD cachexia and the …
Evaluation of the Effect of Finerenone on Renal Function in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease
Research Objectives To evaluate the impact of finerenone on renal function, diabetic complications, and safety in patients with Type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Study Design Type: Prospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial. Sample Size: 300 patients. Intervention: Finerenone added to existing treatment regimen (10-20 mg once daily, dose adjusted …
Risk Factors for AKI in Patients Undergoing VATS for Pulmonary Resection
This study aims to investigate the potential factors contributing to the development of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in patients undergoing pulmonary resection with Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for lung malignancy. The study will focus on demographic data, laboratory parameters, perioperative fluid management, and haemodynamics. The research will be conducted …
Sit Less, Interact and Move More (SLIMM) 2 Study
Prolonged sitting (sedentary behavior) is a risk factor for decreased kidney function, obesity, diabetes and mortality. Prolonged sitting is associated with decreased kidney function and increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and death. In a previous pilot study funded by NIH, it was shown that a Sit Less, Interact and …
Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Treatment on Blood Pressure Control in Chronic Kidney Disease
The role of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not clear. This randomized clinical trial will test the impact of OSA treatment on blood pressure (BP) and on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with CKD IIIb and IV (eGFR 44-15 ml/min). A polygraph …
Cardiac Tissue Sodium Assessment in CKD Patients Using Sodium MRI
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent worldwide and affects around 10% of people living in developed health economies. As the kidney loses its function in patients with CKD, the kidneys are unable to filter toxins out of the blood as efficiently as those of healthy individuals. Arguably, sodium (salt) is …
