Impact of Electronic-Alerting of Acute Kidney Injury: Workgroup Statements from the 15thADQI Consensus Conference
Tập 3 - Trang 101 - 2016
Purpose of the review:Among hospitalized patients, acute kidney injury is common
and associated with significant morbidity and risk for mortality. The use of
electronic health records (EHR) for prediction and detection of this important
clinical syndrome has grown in the past decade. The steering committee of the
15thAcute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) conference dedicated a workgroup
with th...
Brief Communication: Patient Satisfaction with the Use of Tablet Computers: A Pilot Study in Two Outpatient Home Dialysis Clinics
Tập 1 - Trang 22 - 2014
Background: Electronic capture of patients' reports of their health is
significant in clinical nephrology research because health-related quality of
life (HRQOL) for patients with end-stage renal disease is compromised and
assessment by patients of their HRQOL in practice is relatively uncommon.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction with
and time involved in adm...
Acute Kidney Injury: Preclinical Innovations, Challenges, and Opportunities for Translation
- 2015
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinically important condition that
has attracted a great deal of interest from the biomedical research community.
However, acute kidney injury AKI research findings have yet to be translated
into significant changes in clinical practice. Objective: This article reviews
many of the preclinical innovations in acute kidney injury AKI treatment, and
explores...
Coronary Artery Calcification, Cardiovascular Events, and Death: A Prospective Cohort Study of Incident Patients on Hemodialysis
Tập 2 - Trang 65 - 2015
Background: Coronary calcification in patients with end-stage renal disease
(ESRD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes and death
from all causes. Previous evidence has been limited by short follow-up periods
and inclusion of a heterogeneous cluster of events in the primary analyses.
Objective: To describe coronary calcification in patients incident to ESRD, and
to ident...
Validating a Scoring Tool to Predict Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) following Cardiac Surgery
- 2015
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is associated with
an increased risk of mortality. Preoperative risk scores can identify patients
at risk for AKI and facilitate preventive strategies. Currently, validated risk
scores are used to predict AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-D); less is known about
whether these tools predict less severe forms of AKI. Objective: To evaluate the
Cl...
Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease among the High Risk Population in South-Western Ghana; A Cross Sectional Study
Tập 2 - Trang 76 - 2015
Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major global health problem. CKD
is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus and hypertension
and carries a risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and progression to
end-stage kidney disease. Objectives: This study sought to use the 2012 Kidney
Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definitions to establish the
prevalence an...
Renocardiac Syndromes: Physiopathology and Treatment Stratagems
- 2015
Purpose of review: Bidirectional inter-organ interactions are essential for
normal functioning of the human body; however, they may also promote adverse
conditions in remote organs. This review provides a narrative summary of the
epidemiology, physiopathological mechanisms and clinical management of patients
with combined renal and cardiac disease (recently classified as type 3 and 4
cardiorenal s...
First Canadian Case Report of Kidney Transplantation From an HIV-Positive Donor to an HIV-Positive Recipient
Tập 4 - 2017
Rationale: Kidney transplantation has become standard of care for carefully
selected patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era.
American and European prospective cohort studies have reported similar patient
and graft survival compared with HIV-negative kidney transplant recipients.
Despite an i...
The Canadian Experience Using the Expanded Criteria Donor Classification for Allocating Deceased Donor Kidneys for Transplantation
Tập 3 - Trang 106 - 2016
Background:Although the outcomes of transplantation with expanded criteria donor
(ECD) kidneys are inferior to non-ECD transplants in the USA, the impact of the
ECD classification on Canadian kidney transplant recipients is not
known.Objectives:The objective of the study was to assess the performance of the
US-derived ECD classification among deceased donor kidney transplant recipients
in a Canadi...
Strategies to Increase Living Kidney Donation: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Tập 2 - Trang 49 - 2015
Background: Living kidney transplantation (LKT) offers the best medical outcomes
for organ recipients. Historically, our centre had a low rate of LKT. In 2009,
in an effort to increase living organ donation (LOD), a dedicated team was
created. Its mandate was to promote LOD at our centre and at referring centres,
to coordinate assessments of living organ donors, to facilitate the process, and
to e...
