This study is comparing two approaches for monitoring and addressing symptoms among adult patients with kidney failure who are treated with hemodialysis. For the first approach patients use an electronic system twice a month to report their symptoms. The system sends alerts to their medical team at the dialysis clinic about the reported symptoms and gives suggestions about how to manage them. The system also provides reports that show patients and their medical team the reported symptoms over time. For the second approach patients complete a quality of life questionnaire that includes questions about symptoms once a year. The questionnaire does not have follow-up support like alerts, symptom management guidance, or reports. In addition, researchers will talk to patients, dialysis clinic personnel, and medical providers about their experiences using the electronic symptom monitoring system to learn about how to best use patient-reported outcome measures in dialysis care.

We are collecting data on children living with chronic kidney disease, including children on dialysis or with a kidney transplant, to learn more about what happens over time. The data collected will be used for research projects.

We have created this registry to provide an opportunity to study diagnostic capabilities, administration protocols and long-term effects of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of any organ.

To ascertain pediatric clinician preferences for risk stratification for pediatric kidney disease.

This study will compare 3 different ways to educate patients with advanced chronic kidney disease about hemodialysis vascular access.

The purpose of this research study is to try and teach a computer program to assess how a dialysis vascular access fistula is maturing, when it could be ready to put needles in, or when it needs to be fixed to allow it to mature better; based on the electronic stethoscope recordings.
