Patients whit chronic kidney disease (CKD) there is a high prevalence of nutritional disorders and negative changes in body composition, which is strongly associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.
Acute heart failure (AHF) is defined as new or worsening of symptoms and signs of heart failure and is the most frequent cause of unplanned hospital admission in elderly patients. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is one of the most developed prognostic markers for AHR patients and. NT-pro-BNP has limitations …
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate safety and performance of GORE® ACUSEAL Vascular Graft for the treatment of CKD in patients with ESRD in hemodialysis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Safety: Freedom from device-related infection adverse events at 24 months from device implant Performance: …
Studying the dynamics of red blood cell lysis, pfH, protective proteins and organ injury, limits will be set for safe levels of pfH following the use of CPB. These results will be compared to existing laboratory-based methods for determining red blood cell damage to predict CPB assist device safety. Further, …
The purpose of this study is to see if 6 months of home-based walking will improve memory, and brain structure and function, compared to health education in older adults that have chronic kidney disease and mild cognitive impairment.
The overall objective of this study is to investigate Fabry-associated renal organ involvement by using a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach, focusing on changes in renal oxygen levels by blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) imaging. Furthermore, to correlate renal oxygenation to the phenotypic presentation of patients with Fabry-associated nephropathy regarding …
Background: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at elevated risk of chronic health conditions. Chemotherapies can cause recurrent acute kidney injury which may progress to kidney fibrosis, chronic kidney disease (CKD) or hypertension (HTN). CCS surviving to adulthood are at ≥3 times the risk (vs. non-CCS) for CKD, HTN and lower …
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common manifestation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and is an important cause of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although the standard-of-care treatments for active severe LN are effective, a substantial proportion of LN patients still develop CKD and eventually end-stage …
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 …
The purpose of this protocol is to treat an intermediate-sized population with chronic kidney disease (CKD) including kidney transplant recipients. The protocol uses allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSC infusion may be delivered 1) intravenous or 2) intravenous plus intra-arterial to both kidneys. Individuals will have subsequent follow …
