Background: The associations between self-reported chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have been reported using various instruments to assess itch. Data collection via multiple CKD-aP instruments allows the evaluation of different domains and measurements of CKD-aP burden and may help tailor data capture for future research or clinical care.
Methods: An electronic PRO (ePRO) survey was distributed to European hemodialysis (HD) patients enrolled in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) in 2021-23.
Article Synopsis
- Tear fluid is a useful source for biomarker discovery, but challenges like small sample volume and inconsistent collection methods hinder its analysis.
- The study introduces a new high-throughput method for processing tear fluid using just 0.5 μL, which simplifies handling and reduces processing time compared to traditional approaches.
- This method achieved a four-fold increase in the number of proteins identified, demonstrating the effectiveness of microcapillary collection and the potential for improved biomarker discovery in tear proteomics.
Introduction: Etelcalcetide is an i.v. calcimimetic agent, effectively reducing parathyroid hormone levels in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD).
