Pathophysiological Characterization of the Neuromuscular Function of a Population With Multiple...

Chronic Kidney FailureChronic Kidney Disease stage34 more

The evolution of chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes a systemic upheaval on the body and a deep fatigue is very often described by patients (50-70% of the patients) even before the start of dialysis (pre-dialysis). This fatigue has many origins, and one of them probably stems from a deterioration of neuromuscular abilities. Very few studies have examined the physiological aspects of neuromuscular fatigue in pre-dialysis patients, and shedding light on potential deficits at this level would allow safe and efficient implementation of adapted physical activity programs. Our study aims to characterize the pathophysiology of neuromuscular capabilities in chronic advanced renal failure in pre-dialysis patients.

Chronic Kidney Disease and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment

Chronic Kidney DiseasesDiabetes Mellitus1 more

This study will investigate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a sample population of Hispanics/Latinos and Caucasians in Yakima county that are rural dwelling. This investigation is intended to provide information on the impact rural geographical location and social determinants of health (SDOH) have on CKD and CVD risk factors.

Improving Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis

Chronic Kidney DiseasePeritoneal Dialysis Access

The objective is to understand the best way to place Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) catheters, and the best way to collect data regarding their function in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Phase 1: We will carry out a detailed examination of existing returned pilot data with emphasis on data fields with poor data completeness and perform root cause analysis, and assess deficiencies in data field definition to identify improvements to be implemented. We will construct and disseminate electronic survey material to all study centres with targeted visits by the Principle Investigator undertaken. These visits will facilitate insight into local organization of data collection including interaction with designated individuals responsible for data returns. PD training days will be organized with emphasis on clinical practice feedback utilizing data acquired in the initial phases. Hospital Episode Statistics will be linked to existing acquired PD patient information to ensure the accuracy of collected data. An online data acquisition system will be developed to allow direct data entry from centres. Phase 2: On-going and sustained data acquisition performed on a prospective basis. Phase 3: Primary data analysis including clinical practice variation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to identify site specific PD catheter functionality variation. Additionally, patient and site specific characteristics that predict clinical outcomes in PD will be identified and characterised. Phase 4: Clinical guidelines will be developed.

MRI Assessment of Myocardial Fibrosis Associated With Monocyte Phenotype in End Stage Renal Failure...

Myocardial FibrosisEnd Stage Renal Failure on Dialysis4 more

Firstly, this study aims to understand how cardiac fibrosis mediated by inflammatory microvascular disease evolves during advanced chronic kidney disease and end stage renal failure and importantly how this changes with commencement on renal replacement therapy (haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) using sequential cardiac MRI imaging. This method of imaging is non-invasive, provides significantly more data than echocardiography, is reproducible and accurate, has been validated in numerous studies and does not involve exposure to ionising radiation. Secondly, this study aims to examine the changes in monocyte subsets and biochemical profile in peripheral blood prior to, during and after commencement on renal replacement therapy. The investigators hypothesis would be that renal failure causes alteration in monocyte subset phenotype resulting in increased circulating inflammatory monocytes (human CD14high CD16high), initiating pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and thereby accelerating inflammatory cardiovascular disease and development of myocardial fibrosis.

Comparison of a Non-Invasive Central Venous Pressure Device and Physical Examination in Patients...

Central Venous Pressure

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a correlation exists between the Mespere Non-Invasive Central Venous Pressure (NICVP) device for measuring central venous pressure (CVP), and assessment of CVP via physical examination.

Ultrasound to Predict Steal-Syndrome After Arteriovenous-Fistula Creation (UPSAC - Trial)

Chronic Kidney Disease

The purpose of this study is to analyze and identify pre-, intra-, and post- operative parameters that predict Steal-Syndrome with distal malperfusion after Arterio-Venous Fistulas (AVF) as primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints are pre-, intra-, and post- operative parameters that predict patency and fistula maturation.

Disc Edema in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease

Papilledema is defined as swelling of the optic nerves often due to increased intracranial pressure. When present, it often indicates life-threatening lesions of the brain such as tumors, abscesses, meningitis, encephalitis, venous sinus obstruction or intracranial hemorrhage. A similar clinical picture can also be caused by other conditions such as malignant hypertension, diabetic papillopathy and uremia. When the intracranial pressure is elevated in the absence of any known cause then it is called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). Untreated papilledema can cause progressive optic nerve damage and blindness. Patients with chronic kidney disease have a number of co-morbidities and thus are at an increased risk for developing papilledema. Although clinicians have observed that patients with kidney diseases have increased incidence of papilledema (unpublished data by Corbett et al), there have been no studies on this subject to date. We believe that a higher incidence of papilledema is found in patients with kidney diseases and this study could provide evidence to suggest routine ophthalmic screening in this patient group. Hypothesis: The prevalence of optic disc swelling is increased in patients with chronic kidney disease. Purpose: To establish the prevalence of disc edema in patients with chronic kidney disease.
