CAR-T Cell Therapy for Desensitization in Kidney Transplantation
This research study is for people who have been waiting for a kidney transplant for at least one year, and who have a cPRA of 99.5% or higher. Having a cPRA of 99.5% or higher means that your immune system would reject 99.5% of kidneys available for transplant. The study …
Effects of Royal Jelly Supplementation in Chronic Kidney Disease
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of royal jelly on inflammation and cellular senescence in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD).
Pivotal Study of the Velocity™ pAVF System
This study will evaluate the Velocity Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistula (pAVF) System, a new minimally invasive method for creating dialysis access. People with kidney failure often require dialysis, which depends on having a reliable arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Traditionally, AVFs are created with surgery, but surgery can involve incisions, longer recovery, and …
CRISPR-Edited HLA Donor Kidney Transplant to Reduce Rejection Risk
This clinical trial investigates the transplantation of donor kidneys that have been genetically modified ex vivo using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to reduce immunogenicity and transplant rejection. Donor kidney grafts will have key human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes disrupted - specifically, knockout of HLA class I heavy chains HLA-A and HLA-B, …
Wise Practice of Chinese Hemodialysis (WISHES)
The investigators are registering all HD patients at recruited hospitals and developing a HD database in China. Patients will be follow-up every 3 months, and both baseline and follow-up information will be entered into the registration system. The patient survival, technical survival, patency rate of access, quality of life and …
Fluid Intake After Hemodialysis
Interdialytic weight gain determines how much fluid (ultrafiltration) has to be removed during each hemodialysis session. High ultrafiltration volumes stress the organism and lead to a higher risk of death. Thirst is the main driving factor of interdialytic weight gain, and thirst is mainly driven by salt intake, molecules that …
Sodium Deposition in Soft Tissues of Patients With Kidney Disease
Sodium (Na+) hemostasis is abnormal in CKD patients, and this element can be deposited in the skin, muscle, and skeleton - to cope with long term sodium loading. It is known that sodium stored in this non-osmotically active way, is profoundly inflammatory. Furthermore, inflammation has been associated with several uremic …
Targeted Deprescribing in Patients on Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis (HD) patients take more pills per day on average than any other chronically ill patient population. On average, an HD patient takes 19 medications per day, of which 70% may not be appropriate. The reason the medications may not be appropriate is that HD patients are rarely included in …
Bispectral-Electroencephalography (EEG) in First Time Hemodialysis
The severity of minimal dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS) is currently detected and graded clinically using clinical criteria. Bispectral Index (BIS), an electroencephalographic (EEG) derived parameter is widely used in anesthesia and Critical Care setting to detect effects of anesthetic/hypnotic drugs. The aim of our study was to assess the discriminative …
Integrating BIA and eGFR for Nutritional Status in Hemodialysis Patients
This study looks at how measurements of body composition from Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and estimates of kidney function (eGFR) can be applied together to better assess the health of people on hemodialysis. Many dialysis patients struggle with malnutrition, muscle loss, and fluid imbalances, but current assessment methods rely on …
