Patients' and kidney care team's perspectives of treatment burden and capacity in older people with chronic kidney disease: A qualitative study (2020)
Journal Article

Objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often a multimorbid condition and progression to more severe disease is commonly associated with increased management requirements, including lifestyle change, more medication and greater clinician involvemen...

Iterative Run-to-Run Learning Model to Derive Continuous Brachial Pressure Estimates from Arterial and Venous Lines During Dialysis Treatment (2020)
Journal Article

Objective: Non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring is not yet part of routine practice in renal dialysis units but could be a valuable tool in the detection and prevention of significant variations in patient blood pressure during treatment...

A Feasibility Study of Non-Invasive Continuous Estimation of Brachial Pressure Derived from Arterial and Venous Lines During Dialysis (2020)
Journal Article

Objective: Intradialytic haemodynamic instability is a significant clinical problem, leading to end-organ ischaemia and contributing to morbidity and mortality in haemodialysis patients. Non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring is not curren...

The PrEscription of intraDialytic exercise to improve quAlity of Life in patients with chronic kidney disease trial: study design and baseline data for a multicentre randomized controlled trial (2020)
Journal Article

Background Exercise interventions designed to improve physical function and reduce sedentary behaviour in haemodialysis (HD) patients might improve exercise capacity, reduce fatigue and lead to improved quality of life (QOL). The PrEscription of int...

Prevalence of chronic kidney disease in adults in England: comparison of nationally representative cross-sectional surveys from 2003 to 2016 (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives: To identify recent trends in chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence in England and explore their association with changes in sociodemographic, behavioural and clinical factors. Design: Pooled cross-sectional analysis. Setting: Health... Read More about Prevalence of chronic kidney disease in adults in England: comparison of nationally representative cross-sectional surveys from 2003 to 2016.

Health-related quality of life, functional impairment and comorbidity in people with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives: To determine the associations between comorbidities, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and functional impairment in people with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care. Design: Cross-sectional analysis at 5-y... Read More about Health-related quality of life, functional impairment and comorbidity in people with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study.

Skin autofluorescence and malnutrition as predictors of mortality in persons receiving dialysis: a prospective cohort study (2020)
Journal Article

Background Skin autofluorescence (SAF), which is a measure of accumulation of advanced glycation end‐products (AGE), and malnutrition are each associated with higher mortality in dialysis populations, although no studies have investigated these po...

SGLT?2 Inhibitor Renal Outcome Modification in Type?2 Diabetes: Evidence from Studies in Patients with High or Low Renal Risk (2020)
Journal Article

Data from three completed cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs), EMPA?REG OUTCOME, CANVAS Program and DECLARE?TIMI 58, add to the evidence supporting the potential renoprotective effects of sodium?glucose linked transporter?2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in pa...

Impact of Dietetic Intervention on Skin Autofluorescence and Nutritional Status in Persons Receiving Dialysis: A Proof of Principle Study (2020)
Journal Article

Objective: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are uremic toxins that result from oxidative stress and food consumption. We have previously reported that markers of malnutrition are more important determinants of increased skin autofluorescence (S...

Association between non-malignant monoclonal gammopathy and adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease: Acohort study (2020)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: In studies including the general population, the presence of non-malignant monoclonal gammopathy (MG) can be causally associated with kidney damage and shorter survival. We assessed whether the presence of an MG is associated with a highe...
