Pneumococcal Immunogenicity in Nephrotic Syndrome Study

Infections occurring in individuals with glomerular disease are preventable contributors to excess healthcare utilization, morbidity, and mortality, and are the leading cause of death in children with glomerular disease. Vaccination is a powerful and cost-effective method to attenuate infectious burden, and clinical guidelines recommend that patients with glomerular disease receive 23-valent pneumococcal (PPSV23) vaccine. The main objective of the study is to determine functional PPSV23 immunogenicity in a prospectively collected multicenter cohort of children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome using measurements of anti-pneumococcal and opsonophagocytic antibody titers prior to, and 1, 3 and 12 months following PPSV23 vaccination.

Symptom Monitoring in Hemodialysis

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.

Shorter Stent Duration After Ureteroscopy

The rationale for this study is to determine if there is a difference in symptoms or complications among patients undergoing uncomplicated ureteroscopy for stone removal with shorter indwelling stent duration. Curently there are only a few small studies exploring the optimal duration of stent placement after stent placement and no multicenter randomized control trials.
