The Role of Endothelium Dysfunction in Progression of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) After AKI (Acute...
Acute Renal FailureChronic Kidney Failure2 moreTo understand how AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) leads to chronic kidney disease so therapies can be found to alter the progression of events thereby significantly impacting the long-term outcomes of children who develop AKI.
Congenital Heart Surgery in Pediatric Patients With Beta-Thalassemia Major
HemolysisAuthors compared incidence of Hemolysis on Cardiopulmonary Bypass surgery for repair of congenital heart disease in Pediatric Patients between patients with thalassemia major and control group
Protective Antibody Level After COVID-19 Vaccination Among Patients Under Hemodialysis
Covid19Vaccine Reaction2 moreThe aim of the study is to evaluate the level of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 after COVID-19 vaccination in patients under hemodialysis. To this end, the level of neutralizing antibody of patients under hemodialysis is compared to that of healthy population.
Investigating the Influence of Haemolysis on the Potassium Concentration After Capillary Blood Sampling...
HemolysisThis is an open, single-centre trial investigating the impact of haemolysis after capillary blood collection to the measured potassium concentration in Plasma healthy subjects. Each subject will have four capillary blood collections on different fingers. Two on the right and two on the left hand. Additionally as a reference a venous blood collection will be conducted.
Hemolysis in Blood Samples in the ER
HemolysisEmergency Service3 moreIn this study, we aim to identify risk factors for hemolysis in blood samples drawn in the ED.
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Natural History Study
Pyruvate Kinase DeficiencyCongenital Non-Spherocytic Hemolytic AnemiaThe purpose of this study is to describe the range and incidence of symptoms, treatments, and complications related to pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD). Eligible patients are those of all ages with known PKD or with a hemolytic anemia and a family member with PKD. The study will collect retrospective medical history, routine clinical care data, and quality of life measures at baseline and annually for patients with PKD.
Effect of Haemodialysis on the Efficacy of Antiplatelet Agents
Renal FailureCoronary Artery Disease1 moreThe main purpose of our study is to investigate whether haemodialysis itself affects the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs and the effects of two different types of dialysis membranes (polysulfone membranes and polyamide membranes) on antiplatelet efficacy. A total of 60 patients with ESRD and under dual-antiplatelet treatmen for at least 5 days will be enrolled and divided into the Clopidogrel group (clopidogrel 75mg qd;aspirin 100mg qd, n=30) and the Ticagrelor group (ticagrelor 90mg bid; aspirin 100mg qd, n=30). All included patients will receive haemodialysis by two different types of dialysis membrane.Platelet aggregation of venous blood from all patients will be detected by LTA and VerifyNow immediately before and after two times of haemodialysis.
Usefulness of a Diagnostic Algorithm to Diagnose Thrombotic Microangiopathies in Pregnancy
Hemolytic-Uremic SyndromeHaemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is defined by the presence of the classic triad of non-immune microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (negative direct Coombs), thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. Histological lesions of HUS are characterized by a systemic thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), which mainly affects the renal vessels, with wall thickening, thrombosis and obstruction of the vascular lumen. Atypical HUS (aHUS) is a subtype of HUS in the TMA phenomena that results from the loss of regulation of the alternative complement pathway on cell surfaces and is generally considered to be from a genetic cause. Approximately 10% of HUS cases are classified as atypical HUS, which are associated with a more adverse prognosis, with a mortality rate up to 25% and progression to end stage renal disease in more than 50% of cases.
