Dual primary endpoints were established: a change in the KCCQ-CSS and the percentage change in body weight from baseline to week 52. Three confirmatory secondary endpoints were defined: the 6-minute walk distance from baseline to week 52, a hierarchical composite endpoint and a change in the le...

iron has benefits in terms of intermediate endpoints (6-minute walk test, quality of life, New York Heart Association class) and hospitalization.60,61,66 Within the heart failure studies, those with CKD had similar benefits in subgroup analyses.60,61 Meta-analysis results also suggest that i....

Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell cancer, is associated with many health challenges, including damage to the kidney by tubulointerstitial fibrosis. We develop a mathematical model which captures the qualitative behavior of the cell and protein populat
Although significant intra-group improvements in 6-minute walk test distance were found in the experimental group, the effects did not reach statistical significance compared to the control group. Importantly, patients were able to maintain gained positive effects of supervised in-centre functional ...
The inclusion criteria were the following: participants of any gender over 18 years old (with no upper age limit) had to have undergone HD replacement therapy over three months, be in stable medical condition, and be able to walk independently. Exclusion criteria included were active malignant...
