Quality of Life of Frail Aged Patients in Incremental Hemodialysis

Renal DialysisKidney Failure2 more

End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major public health problem. The dialysis population is aging. As a result we observe a high prevalence of frailty among dialysis patients (ranges from 3 to 10 fold higher than in the comparably aged general public). Frailty is a medical syndrome characterized by diminished strength, endurance, and reduced physiologic function that increases an individual's vulnerability for developing increased dependency and/or death. Without systematic approach it is difficult for physicians to detect frailty phenotype which however might be reversible or attenuated by interventions. Fried et al. developed a frailty phenotype consisting of 3 or more of: unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, physical inactivity, slow gait speed, and weak grip strength. The primary care of hemodialysis patient is often supported by the nephrologist. Identification of frailty is integrated into the primary care setting as one of the steps necessary for the overall assessment of the person and planning to formal prevention interventions in an individualized care plan. Thrice-weekly hemodialysis (HD) schedules are the standard default hemodialysis prescription in Western countries, imposed in the 70s. For incremental HD, the weekly dose of dialysis is based on variety of clinical factors such as residual kidney function, volume status, cardiovascular symptoms, potassium level, nutritional status and, comorbid conditions. Incremental HD scheme generally starts with 2 weekly sessions and then periodic monitoring of criteria mentioned above are used to determine the timing for increasing dialysis dose and frequency to 3 weekly sessions. An approach that integrates systematic frailty phenotype assessment by nephrologists and individualized incremental HD therapy can be beneficial within the first year of HD. It could optimize health-related quality of life and other pertinent outcomes without affecting negatively the quality of dialysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate for frail aged incidents hemodialysis patients the impact of implementation of an incremental HD on HRQoL compared to conventional HD.

Effectiveness of the CDK-SMS Nursing Intervention for Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease

Renal InsufficiencyChronic

Type of Study: a pragmatic randomized clinical trial. Research question How effective is the CKD SMS self-management nursing intervention on self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and adherence in adults with early-stage CKD compared to usual care? General objective To determine the effectiveness of the self-management nursing intervention (CKD SMS) on self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and therapeutic adherence in people with CKD in early stages compared to usual care. Target population: Adult men and women with chronic kidney disease in stages 1-4, with different characteristics such as educational level, socioeconomic status, and marital status. Taking into account that the definition of early stages through the criteria demarcated by the Colombian clinical practice guideline, where the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the indicator for stratification as follows: stage 1 people with a GFR less than or equal to 90 (ml (min / 1.73 m2), stage 2 people with GFR between 60-89 (ml (min / 1.73 m2), stage 3 people with GFR between 30-59 (ml (min / 1.73 m2)) and stage 4 people with GFR between 15-30 (ml (min / 1.73 m2) who attend kidney protection programs of the Renal Units in Colombia. STUDY VARIABLES Among the variables that are available for the present study are: Independent Variables: Sociodemographic characteristics, related to the disease or clinical condition and the CKD intervention. Dependent variables: Self-management behaviors, therapeutic adherence, and self-efficacy. Within the mediating, shaping or confounding variables, the following are found according to what is established in the literature: age, gender, level of education, time of diagnosis and other comorbidities, which are initially considered independent variables and will be measured. In the study, for its management, strategies such as randomization will be used, the differences between the crude estimates of an association and those adjusted considering a confounding variable will be identified and its adjustment is responsible for at least 10% in the magnitude of the difference. INTERVENTIONS CKD SMS intervention CKD SMS (Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Management Support) intervention Conventional intervention The conventional intervention corresponds to the protocol established in the program of the renal unit for the management of people with CKD in early stages.

Supporting Self-Management of Healthy Behaviors in Diabetes, Kidney Disease, and Hypertension

Renal InsufficiencyChronic2 more

The planned intervention, entitled, Supporting Self-Management of Health Behaviors to Optimize Health (SMART-HABITS for Health), aims to provide support for patients with chronic kidney disease, hypertension and diabetes by providing text messages delivered as motivational reminders and support to encourage blood pressure self-monitoring through goal setting, customized task prompts via text message and feedback, leveraging social connections, and use of a gamification design.

Reduction of Metabolic Acidosis in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease in Stage 4 and 5

Kidney DiseasesMetabolic Acidosis3 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about and test the effect of an acid/base diet, in chronic kidney patients with CKD stage 4 and 5 in an interventional study with a historical control. Our hypothesize is that an acid/base diet will reduce the degree of acidosis and the need for oral bicarbonate supplements.

Slow and Low Start of a Tacrolimus Once Daily Immunosuppressive Regimen

Renal FailureRenal Insufficiency3 more

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of an advagraf based immunosuppressive regimen with slower dose tapering and lower starting dose of Advagraf compared with a standard Advagraf-based immunosuppressive regimen in de novo renal transplantation. Non inferiority will be assessed by a combined study endpoint consisting of the development of biopsy-proven rejection of BANFF class Ia or higher and/or graft loss and/or patient death within the first six months after renal transplantation.

Kidney FailureChronic1 more

The CSP-1001 study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the InnAVasc arteriovenous graft (AVG) when implanted in and used for hemodialysis in participants suffering from end stage renal failure (ESRD). The InnAVasc AVG is implanted and used similar to other standard of care dialysis grafts currently on the market. However, the InnAVasc AVG has been uniquely designed to potentially allow for immediate needle access (same day as implant surgery as opposed to 2-4 weeks of waiting), to potentially reduce excessive bleeding from the graft after dialysis, and it may provide protection from improper or missed needle cannulation attempts.
