To establish and validate MRI as functional imaging technique of the kidney and determine the appropriate combination of BOLD MRI, phase contrast MRI and diffusion weighted imaging.
To evaluate the efficacy of computational simulation for the planning of vascular access surgery in hemodialysis patients.
Overall aim of the study is to investigate which decision-making models for patient participation are used in practice in end-of-life decision-making and how appropriate are these models for different patient groups.Secondary Objective(s): 1. In…
The objective of the current study is to determine whether the presence of donor-specific B cell memory determines whether a patient will develop graft rejection or inferior graft function, especially in kidney transplant recipients who have donor-…
The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in peritoneal endothelial glycocalyx in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with the duration of peritoneal dialysis, and relate these changes to alterations in peritoneal transport and morphology.…
This study will compare the buttonhole cannulation technique and the rope-ladder/area technique. Primary the number of complications will be compared. Secondary the differences between both techniques in patient experience and cannulation ease for…
Primary objective: to compare glucose profiles collected by CGM on days with and without haemodialysis in a group of insulin treated diabetic patients who are on regular hemodialysis treatment. Secondary objectives: o assessment of frequency and…
Primary:- Can carboplatin exposure in children be predicted by taking the plasma concentrations of creatinine of cystatine C into account?Secundary:- Which is the effective carboplatin exposure in the current pediatric treatment protocols?- Is there…
The objective of this study is to assess the diagmostic accuracy of microMRI to detect ROD in children with ESRD and metabolic bone disease by oxalosis in patients suffering from oxalosis.
To distinguish patients who tolerate fluid removal by CRRT from those who become hemodynamically instable (hypotensive) during this procedure.
Primary Objective: Validation of the Fresenius BCM in pediatric dialysis patients for the assessment of TBW and ECW using dilution techniques as the reference methods.Secondary Objective: Validation of saliva sampling for bromide concentration…
Clarifying the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the T cell response targeting and controlling polyomavirus BKV.
Methodology (part A):(1) What is the intra-individual variation in refill? (2) Is the magnitude of the ultrafiltration rate of influence on refill? (3) Is the amount of the initial intended blood volume decline of influence on refill? Implementation…
To determine the general usefulness of and a proper moment when blood should be taken for the in vitro IFN-γ assays in patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis.
The primary question is whether certain tubular biomarkers are associated with albuminuria. It is thougt that to much albumin in the pre-urine is toxic to the proximal tubulus. By measuring different kind of damage markers of different locations of…
The aim of the study is to improve the quality of life of cystinosis patients. Part of it forms neuropsychological screening in order to identify specific defects in the neurocognitive development and learning abilities. The results will contribute…
To compare the accuracy of the measured GFR using bolus 51Cr-EDTA, and Gd DTPA, and estimated GFR using cystatin C and creatinine with the continuous 125I-labelled iothalamate infusion method.
Main study:Primary objective: What are the long-term effects (i.e. after 8-week drug exposure) of the GLP-1RA versus a single dose prandial insulin onrenal hemodynamics (glomerular filtration rate/ effective renal plasma flow in basal insulin-…
To assess intra- and interpatient variability of plasma Mg concentration before and after hemodialysis.
