T Cell Dysfunction in ESRD

ESRDT-Cell Dysfunction

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular and infectious disease and increased risk of all-cause mortality which is mainly attributed to the disturbed immune response. More and more evident indicated that T cell dysfunction was universal in ESRD. However, few studies clarified the association of T cell dysfunction and clinical outcomes. This study is aim to explore valuable markers of T cell dysfunction predicting bad clinical outcomes including death, cardiovascular disease, infection and tumor. Hopefully, these finding will provide foundation for further mechanism research and better therapeutic options for ESRD patients in the future.

SASH: Sodium Accumulation Study In Haemodialysis

HaemodialysisEnd Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis

Haemodialysis (HD) sustains life in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) but is associated with a marked increase in incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and high annual mortality rates. The pathogenesis of CVD in patients on HD is multifactorial and complex but hypertension is thought to be a major contributing factor. Sodium balance is normally regulated by the kidneys in health but has to be achieved by sodium removal during HD for those with ESKD. Recent evidence suggests that accumulation of sodium in the skin and / or muscle may be a critical factor impacting the development of hypertension and CVD in patients with ESKD and non-invasive methods are therefore required to study tissue sodium accumulation in this context. This study aims to determine the change in skin and muscle sodium content in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Participants will have a single haemodialysis session, and undergo two MRI scans (one prior to and one following dialysis).

Hemodialysis-based Interventions to Preserve Cognitive Function

Kidney FailureChronic

This will be a pilot, single center, randomized, controlled trial to slow cognitive decline in adults undergoing hemodialysis (HD). The investigators will test two interventions (cognitive training and exercise training) against the standard of care.

Applications of MRI in Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney DiseaseEnd-stage Kidney Disease

This study has two major purposes: To test developed multiple anatomic and functional MRI methods; To evaluate the potentials of these MRI methods in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of the progression of renal dysfunction. These purposes will be achieved by performing pilot studies with cohorts of patients.

Myocardial Microvascular Disease in ESRD

End Stage Renal DiseaseMyocardial Microvascular Disease

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). They often have myocardial ischemia (a major predictor of mortality) on non invasive testing (Stress echocardiography and/or myocardial perfusion scintigraphy) but the incidence of significant coronary stenosis (>70%) is low. The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the incidence and clinical outcomes of proven myocardial microvascular disease in patients with end stage renal disease scheduled or not for kidney transplantation. These patients routinely undergo non invasive detection of myocardial ischemia. Patient included in the study will be followed up for 2 years for major cardiovascular events. Patients with detected myocardial ischemia during non invasive testing are being explored by coronary angiography. During coronary angiography additional detection of myocardial microvascular disease is being performed by simultaneous measurement of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) followed by calculation of the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR). Comparison of cardiovascular outcomes between patients with and without myocardial ischemia and patients with and without myocardial microvascular disease will be performed.

Nephrotoxicity of Iopamidol Versus Iodixanol in High-Risk Patients

Chronic Renal Disease

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following the administration of iopamidol-370 (Iopamiro-370) and iodixanol-320 (Visipaque 320) in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing coronary angiography.

Animal Assisted Intervention for Hemodialysis Outpatients

End-Stage Kidney DiseaseChronic Kidney Failure1 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if and how an animal-assisted intervention [AAI] using therapy dogs can support hemodialysis [HD] patients' treatment adherence and enhance their well-being. The main objectives are: Objective 1: Determine if the AAI impacts patients' HD treatment adherence (primary outcome is number of unplanned missed treatments no due to hospitalization). Objective 2: Evaluate if the AAI impacts patients' psychosocial well-being (secondary outcomes are stress, pain, mood, QOL). Objective 3: Examine potential mechanistic biomarkers that underpin human-animal bonding (hormones tied to stress and bonding). (exploratory aim) Objective 4: Understand patients' subjective experiences of the AAI. Participants will be asked to engage in several research tasks, including: assessments therapy dog visits monthly blood draws focus group Researchers will compare how the treatment group (those who receive 2 dogs visits per week) and the control group (those who receive 0 dog visits per week) to see if the AAI impacts treatment adherence and psychosocial well-being.

Behaviour and Cognitive Evaluation for Dialysis Elderly Patients (BCDE)

Chronic Renal InsufficiencyChronic Kidney Failure1 more

The trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open study. A total of 500 elderly patients aged over 75 years with renal insufficiency stage 5 will be included in the study after signed informed consent. Patients will be randomized 1/1 in two arms : 250 patients in the "exclusive nephrology follow-up" arm will continue their usual follow-up; 250 patients in the "geriatric follow-up" arm will have both their usual nephrology follow-up and a geriatric follow-up. The aim of the study is to determine if a systematized gerontologist evaluation delay the occurrence of a composite primary endpoint : death, dementia, depression and severe dependency. The hypothesis is that the functional and vital prognosis of a patient with renal insufficiency depends not only on common and classical factors but also on cognitive and psychological functions and dependence, particularly in elderly patients.

Does An Abnormal PFA 100 Predict Bleeding After Renal Biopsy?

Kidney FailureAcute4 more

The kidneys are highly vascular organs and any trauma or surgery poses risk of severe bleeding. Platelet function is an integral part of the blood clotting during the initial, so-called vascular phase. So far no universally accepted, easy test has been available to measure platelet functions. Renal failure is a condition generally associated with bleeding due to platelet dysfunctions. This study is exploring the utility of a novel platelet function test, called Platelet Function Analyser-100 to predict bleed after percutaneous kidney biopsy. Platelet Function Analyser-100 will be measure before kidney biopsy along with routine blood tests. Subjects will undergo renal ultrasound before and after renal biopsy to verify post-biopsy bleeding events.
