Serum Omentin-1 and Carotid Atherosclerosis In Non-Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease
Non-diabetic Chronic Kidney DiseaseAtherosclerosisThe aim of the study is to evaluate whether a low level of serum omentin-1 is associated with carotid atherosclerosis and mediated by inflammation.
Establish the Caring Model of Children With Chronic Kidney Disease and End-stage Renal Disease:...
Chronic Kidney DiseaseEnd-Stage Renal DiseaseInulin's usefulness as a diagnostic agent is based on the method of its elimination from the body. Inulin is biologically inert, unbound by plasma proteins, freely filtered at the glomerulus, and is neither reabsorbed, metabolized nor secreted by the kidneys. It is excreted almost entirely by glomerular filtration. Inulin clearance is considered to be identical to glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
MRI in Renal Transplantation
End Stage Renal DiseaseRenal Transplant Rejection2 moreRenal transplantation is the optimal method of treatment for end stage kidney disease however median lifespan of a kidney transplant is around 15 years. Existing methods of measuring transplant function and structure from blood and urine markers are imperfect; renal biopsy is often performed but is invasive. Novel methods of investigating transplant function are therefore required and emerging renal MRI sequences including ASL and diffusion weighted imaging may yield helpful biomarkers. Investigators will recruit 20 patients in the first year after transplant and measure MRI biomarkers at three time points, with correlation to existing methods of measuring transplant function.
Prevention of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection in Paediatric Kidney and Liver Transplant Recipients...
Paediatric Kidney or Liver TransplantationChronic Kidney DiseaseDue to their immunosuppressive therapy, solid-organ transplant (SOT) recipients bear a 10 to 100 times higher risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated malignancies than healthy individuals. The objectives of this observational, non-interventional multi-national, multi-centre research project are to gain an insight into current HPV vaccination strategies and to investigate the immune response to different routinely administered HPV vaccines in European paediatric SOT candidates and immunocompromised transplant recipients, enabling patients at risk of vaccination failure to be identified.
Prevalence of Electrolyte Imbalance in Chronic Kidney Disease:A Study at Tertiary Care Hospital...
Chronic Kidney Diseasesan observational cross-sectional study is done to calculate the electrolyte imbalance at different stages of chronic kidney disease at tertiary care hospital.
Prevalence of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease in Assiut...
Study of the NAFLD in CKD Patients Using Fibroscan StudyThe aim of our study is: The early detection of NAFLD in CKD patients with different stages (stage I to IV) to avoid progression to liver fibrosis. Evaluation of the relationship between the severity of fatty liver in NAFLD assessed by liver enzymes, biochemical markers, ultrasonography and grades of Fibroscan with CKD staging, eGFR and proteinuria.
Nutritional Assessment of Children With Chronic Kidney Disease
Nutrition DisordersChildPrimary outcome is assessment of nutritional status of children with CKD. Secondary outcome is assessment STAMP screening tool for detection of malnutrition of CKD children.
A Pilot Study for Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Parameter of Allopurinol and Its Metabolite-oxypurinol...
Chronic Kidney DiseaseTo know the blood level of allopurinol in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient.
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Reporting on Nephrology Referral Patterns by Internists
Chronic Kidney DiseaseThe addition of an estimate value of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) per Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] (LEVEY) equation is being included and reported on all routine chemistry panels in the experimental group. The control group is only having serum creatinine, the current standard of care, reported on routine chemistry panels.
Cardiovascular Evaluation Before Renal Transplantation
Chronic Kidney DiseaseCoronary Artery DiseaseDue to rising importance of cardiovascular disease before and after renal transplantation we have changed our standard diagnostic procedure and perform stress echocardiography and myocardial scintigraphy. We would like to monitor these results and the outcome of our patients.
