Changes in Bone Mineral Density in Patients With Non-dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease Are Associated With Body Composition
Download2024-05-07
Montenegro, Julia, Klein, Marcia R.S.T., Prado, Carla M., Silva, Maria I.B.
Objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and low bone mineral density (BMD) are highly prevalent and can co-exist. Parameters of mineral metabolism are associated with BMD in CKD, but other contributing factors may contribute. The aim of this study was to assess changes in BMD and its determinants...

Educational Needs for Hypertension Control among Adult Ghanaians Diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease and Hypertension
DownloadFall 2023
The prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension is often higher among people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than among those with hypertension alone. This doctoral mixed-method study was conducted to identify and describe the educational needs for hypertension control among adult Ghanaians...

Living well without dialysis: Patients’ and healthcare professionals’ evaluation of the innovative, online Conservative Kidney Management Pathway
DownloadFall 2019
Introduction Conservative kidney management (CKM) is a non-dialysis treatment option for older end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients with multiple comorbidities and poor functional status. For such patients who are unlikely to benefit from dialysis, Alberta recently launched a CKM Pathway...

Montenegro, Julia, Simas Torres Klein, Márcia Regina, Bregman, Rachel, Prado, Carla M., Barreto Silva, Maria Inês
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD), but less is understood regarding the relation between BMD and muscle mass, especially in non-dialysis dependent-CKD (NDD-CKD). The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence and...

The impact of a six-month home-based resistance exercise program in adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease on muscle function, frailty status, health related quality of life and health literacy
DownloadSpring 2022
Background & Aims: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) coinciding with the presence of diabetes mellitus, known as diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is found in up to 50% of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). People suffering from DKD often have a high co-morbid burden that is associated with an increased...

Renal autoregulation, comprised of the myogenic response (MR) and the kidney-specific tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF), maintains steady perfusion to the kidneys despite blood pressure fluctuations. The emphasis of this work is on TGF, the dynamics of which generate autonomous oscillations that...
