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 …
Construction of Theoretical Model of Medical Treatment Behavior of Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
The impact of narrative nursing interventions on negative emotions, self-efficacy, quality of life in individuals undergoing maintenance hemodialysis
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 …
Assessment of Thyroid Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Haemodialysis at Sohag University Hospital
Thyroid dysfunction is a prevalent endocrine disorder that significantly impacts the health of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those undergoing dialysis. The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in dialysis patients has been reported to range from 20% to 60%, highlighting the need for routine screening and management in this …
Transitioning to Home or In-center Dialysis
For people with advanced kidney disease, deciding which type of dialysis is best can be challenging. Studies have shown that quality of life is very important to patients. It is thought that the quality of life of people receiving their dialysis at home may be better than the one of …
Chronic Pain in Patients in Hemodialysis
Pain is one of the most common symptoms among patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and often goes unrecognized or inadequately managed in hemodialysis patients. More than 50% of patients undergoing hemodialysis suffer from pain, with 75% of them being treated ineffectively due to healthcare professionals' lack of awareness …
Vitamin D in Dialysis Patients - Diagnostic and Therapeutic Management
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of cholecalciferol administration, according to guidelines for the general population, on laboratory parameters of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder in dialysis patients, depending of the attained levels of vitamin D (25OH)D). The main question it aims to …
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 …
