PREdiction of succeSSful weanING From Continuous Renal Replacement Theraphy: the Possible Role of Delta C-cistatin
The goal of this observational study is to know if, in patients with acute kidney injury, naive for renal injurie, admitted to different ICUs, the change in plasma concentration of c-cistatin, between initiation and discontinuation of CRRT, is a predictive finding to optimize the withdrawal time of renal support
Nephroprotective Measures in Critically Ill Patients With Moderate/Severe Acute Kidney Injury
This study investigates to which extent recommended nephroprotective measures are implemented in critically ill patients with moderate or severe acute kidney injury.
Proteinuria and Renal Perfusion in Renal Transplant Recipients
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the major cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients, with the rate of cardiac death 10-times higher than that of the general population. An independent association between post-transplant proteinuria and cardiovascular risk has been previously reported. Diseased native kidneys with residual urine output or the …
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in People With Diabetes on Dialysis
Continuous glucose monitoring is a sensor, which monitors glucose levels continuously throughout the day. In people with diabetes, especially those treated with insulin, this sensor helps guide the amount of treatment (such as insulin) required to maintain glucose within target. In dialysis, the glucose levels and insulin needs can change …
Precision Medicine in Cardiovascular Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury
The goal of this prospective observational study is to define a risk profile for cardiovascular surgery associated acute kidney injury (AKI), using clinical patient characteristics, operation parameters as well as blood and urine laboratory values. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does a combination of the factors …
Partners Calciphylaxis Biobank
Calciphylaxis, a vascular calcification disorder, is a rare and serious disorder characterized by calcification of dermal arterioles. There are significant gaps in the understanding of the pathophysiology and risk factors for calciphylaxis. At present, there is no effective treatment. Uncertain pathobiology, rare incidence and lack of collaborative approach have been …
Comparing N-terminal-proB-type Natriuretic Peptide With Other Criteria in Pleural Fluid Analysis
To assess the discriminative properties of pleural fluid (PF) N-terminal-proB-type-natriuretic-peptide (NTproBNP) levels in identifying heart failure (HF)-associated pleural effusions (PE).
Investigation of the Validity, Reliability, and Responsiveness of BETY-BQ in Chronic Kidney Disease, on Dialysis, and Kidney Transplantation
A review of the literature has shown that Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is strongly associated with an increasing degree of psychosocial impact, such as depression and anxiety and a decrease in quality of life. Therefore, while determining the psychosocial aspects of the disease gains importance, it is reported that determining …
Tulane Abdominal Transplant Institute (TATI) of Solid Organ Transplantation of HIV-Positive Recipients From HIV-Positive Donors
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), published Final Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act Safeguards and Research Criteria for Transplantation of Organs Infected With HIV. All such transplants must occur under an institutional review board (IRB) approved …
Optimizing Pulsatility During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery provides blood flow to the body during surgery but has adverse effects on different organs. Blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass may be pulsatile or non-pulsatile, which may impact normal organ function after surgery. The study will collect data on the type of cardiopulmonary bypass used …
