The KidneyCARE (Community Access to Research Equity) Study
For chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is a lack of unique and powerful platform for patient engagement, research studies and public health advocacy work. The National kidney Foundation (NKF) launched the first nationwide registry for people at all stages and types of CKD, including people on dialysis and kidney transplant …
Observational GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis With PROPATEN Bioactive Surface Global Registry
Collect real-world post-market clinical follow-up data on patients treated with the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with PROPATEN Bioactive Surface (VSX)
Cardio-Renal Registry
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Even after adjustment for known cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes and hypertension, mortality risk progressively increases with worsening CKD. As glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declines the probability of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) …
International (Pediatric) Peritoneal Biobank
Within few years the peritoneal membrane of adult peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients undergoes substantial morphological transformation, including progressive fibrosis, vasculopathy and neoangiogenesis. Ultrafiltration capacity steadily declines and ultimately results in PD failure. In children, peritoneal biopsies demonstrating PD associated alterations have not yet been obtained. They, however, should be particularly …
Comparison of Hemodialysis Techniques in the Removal of Uremic Toxins in Chronic Renal Failure
In recent years, expanded hemodialysis has been the subject of studies, many of them done on small populations, with limited observation periods and not always unambiguous results. In the literature, there are data comparing HDx and high-flow hemodialysis in terms of small- and medium-molecule purification and control of inflammation indices; …
Behind the Needle: Healthcare Professionals' Perspectives on HD Needling
Haemodialysis is essential for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), requiring consistent vascular access through arteriovenous fistulas or grafts. This involves frequent needling, a procedure that is painful and distressing for many patients, causing significant emotional and physical demands on healthcare professionals working in the dialysis units. In the UK, …
Sodium Accumulation Study in Haemodialysis: Brain Study
The aim of the research study is to look at a new type of MRI scanning that can measure the amount of sodium in different parts of the body. Sodium (or 'salt') levels are very important in maintaining health, and high levels lead to high blood pressure. This is very …
Validating Novel, Non-contrast Cardiac MRI Imaging in Haemodialysis Patients
There are currently no good ways of measuring levels of scarring in the hearts of patients with advanced kidney disease and patients on dialysis, although recent research has shown a new cardiac MRI technique, called native T1 mapping, may provide a solution to this. To assess the accuracy of this …
Pharmacokinetics of Apixaban in Peritoneal Dialysis
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is fairly prevalent in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) with the prevalence estimated to be 3.8 - 27%. While it is reported that patient with peritoneal dialysis (PD) has a lower incidence of AF as compared to patient with haemodialysis (HD), the risk is still …
Percutaneous Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion (PREDICT)
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the most frequent modality of home dialysis for patients with kidney failure. Most PD catheters are placed using a laparoscopic technique. This approach requires the availability of a qualified surgeon, time in the operating theater and general anaesthesia for the patient. Thus, the laparoscopic technique is …
